"This was an incredibly difficult and extensive property renovation. The crews which completed the work are some of the best craftsmen and women that I have ever met. The crews are concerned with getting the job done; and if it was not done correctly, they would fix it....no questions asked. Pleasure to deal with this professional crew."

"Oscar cleared brush and high grass on about an acre along the back of my property. The property is irregular shaped, uneven terrain with multiple trees. He brought in the appropriate equipment, showed up when promised and did a great job. His prices are fair and I would definitely use him again."

"

I purchased the granite countertop deal from Angie's List on July 28th. I received a message a day later saying they could come to my house Friday, July 31 at 5:30pm. I was pleased with this as it was the same week I had purchased the deal. Unfortunately, no one showed up on Friday. When we called we were told that they had forgotten about it and rescheduled for the following day at 11am. Again no one had showed up and I called the phone number I had multiple times an received no answer. Someone had messaged me on the Angie's site saying they were running late around 11:27am but I didn't see it until later in the day. Robert finally called me an hour later and let me know he was running late from another consultation and apologized.

When he did finally arrive, he was very courteous and helpful which sort of smoothed over things. We scheduled the template to be done the following Wednesday. On that Wednesday, I received a text from Robert saying the granite people's truck was having issues and they couldn't come out that day. I was pretty annoyed by that point but I had no choice but to schedule the template for the following Wednesday (as they are only in my area on Wednesdays). Fingers crossed that the template appointment happens with no issues. Will report back.

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Yes, chipmunk holes may have two or more entrances. Chipmunks can create an entire network of burrows. Having multiple entrances makes it easier for them when trying to escape from a predator, such as a snake, or if an entrance collapses due to flooding. Each entrance leads to the nesting chamber underground, which is where the chipmunk spends the majority of its time sleeping.

If you’re planning to dig on your property, you’ll need to check for underground utility lines. Call the national call-before-you-dig 811 number. Once connected to an operator, you can schedule a site visit to mark underground lines. This way, you won’t accidentally dig into pipes and can cause major (read: costly) issues.

We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.

Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.

Prior to excavation, you should prepare the dig site and call 311 before you sign anything.

To get your site ready for excavation, you should move anything in the area that isn’t affixed to the land. You can save money on the excavation by removing hardscaping, including walkways, decks, concrete patios, and paver patios.

Before you carry out any digging, you should call 311 to confirm that there are no utility lines running through your excavation site. Skipping this step could lead to severe injury and property damage if your excavator hits a water, sewage, or gas line.

Most states do not require excavation companies to hold specific licenses, but many require at least a contractor’s license. Additionally, heavy equipment operators require a special commercial equipment license to operate machinery required for excavation. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to confirm that an excavation company you’re considering hiring is fully licensed. You should also make sure that the excavation team is fully insured before allowing them to work on your property.
