"We recently hired Mountain Creek Iron L.L.C. to demolish an old shed in our backyard, and they did an absolutely fantastic job! From start to finish, they were highly professional, efficient with reasonable price. Not only did they tear down the shed and leave the area perfectly neat and tidy, but they also went above and beyond by hauling away some extra trash and green waste in our backyard. We are so grateful for their hard work and will definitely be using their services again in the future. If you need any demolition or hauling work done, look no further!"

"Rob and Preston installed a new sprinkler system in my yard. They were very professional and thorough during the initial walk-through and bid. They were excellent at communicating when they would be on site, what work would be done. Additionally, they continually kept me apprised progress and of any minor changes that were required due to unanticipated obstacles. Prior to commencing, Rod met with the city to make sure that everything met code. This illustrated a high level of professionalism. After the work was completed, they cleaned up everything very well and walked me through the system, educating me on the controller, filter, zones, coverage, etc. When dealing with contractors, I HIGHLY VALUE TRUST. THEY INDEED EARNED MINE. I highly recommend their services to anyone."

"This company has been amazing to work with. Matt and Seth were so attentive to all of my needs and were willing to do absolutely everything I asked them to. This was not, by any means, an easy remodel, and I am beyond thrilled about how it turned out. They certainly went above and beyond in everything they did. I literally have my dream bathroom, thanks to them. I would highly recommend Peaking Engineering and Construction."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

Some two-in-one tools and machines do both jobs, and those could be the right solution for smaller residential projects. However, the phrase “use the right tool for the job” definitely applies to digging. For the best results, get two separate tools for your trenching and landscape edging projects or call a pro to take care of everything for you.

Hardscaping often requires preparation of the ground in the area where the feature is being installed. This can include digging, compacting, and leveling the soil, ensuring adequate drainage, and removing any existing plants. The extent of preparation needed will depend on the type and size of the hardscaping feature being installed.

Depth is not a qualifying component of evacuation. Any human-made cut, cavity, or depression in the earth’s surface is considered excavation. The hole from excavation can be any size, shape, or depth. Excavation is used to create foundations, reservoirs, drainage ditches, and roads. Long, narrow excavations are called trenches and are often used for underground utilities.

The physical constraints of hand-drilling a well limit the depth you can achieve. Manually digging with picks and shovels may only lead to shallow wells of up to 60 feet in depth. To reach greater depths, you need more specialized equipment. The diameter of your well and the tools you’re using will determine how far down you can dig.
