"Mr. Blonquist did a very good job. He communicated well and his workmanship for this type of manufacturing was very good. He brought some good ideas to the project and I will hire him again. In fact, I have suggested my son use him for another project."

"We recently hired JH Concrete to pour a patio in our backyard, and we couldn't be happier with the results. From the initial estimate to the final cleanup, their team was professional, punctual, and easy to work with. They took the time to properly prepare the area, paid attention to every detail, and delivered a high-quality finished product that exceeded our expectations. The patio looks fantastic and has completely transformed our outdoor space into an area our family can enjoy for years to come. The crew worked hard, communicated well throughout the project, and kept the job site clean and organized. If you're looking for a reliable concrete contractor who takes pride in their work and delivers exceptional results, I highly recommend JH Concrete. Their craftsmanship, professionalism, and commitment to customer satisfaction truly set them apart."

"Matt made it easy to get our landscaping overhaul. He got back to us quickly to provide a quote, recommended low- maintenance plants, removed all of the old mulch and dead plants, dug up stumps, trimmed trees and plants, replaced drip hoses, placed filter fabric, and spread mulch. He and his team did a great job. No issues, good communication, and trustworthy."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.

Depending on the severity of the freeze and the method used, thawing frozen underground pipes can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours. Applying heat directly to the pipe using heat tape, infrared lamps, or hot water jetting can speed up the process. However, patience and careful monitoring are key to avoiding pipe damage.

A crawl space can be as little as 42 inches below the grade of your house, but this is not always recommended in flood-prone areas. At a minimum, there must be at least 16 inches of clearance between the ground and the floor joists to access the space in an emergency.

In the United States, a depth of 36 inches (three feet) for underground water lines is the accepted industry standard. This depth varies from location to location based on local conditions. In areas with colder winters, they may be buried deeper to prevent frozen well water pipes : This is usually at least six inches below the frost level. The International Plumbing Code calls for a minimum of 12 inches below grade.

Excavation is priced in cubic yards, so you’ll need to find the volume of the area in order to calculate costs. Multiply the length, width, and proposed depth of your excavation site, then convert it into yards to get the volume. Multiply this figure by the price per cubic yard.

Most homeowners can measure by hand to get a rough estimate, even if it’s tedious. You may want to pull out a tape measure or use a string to help mark the area.
