"Isaac and his crew were very professional. Any questions I had were answered promptly. They were very efficient and paid great detail to every aspect of the project. I had them prep for a pad for my home, some drainage work and also installed my mound system. Very satisfied with the quality of work and would recommend to everyone. Ypu want the job done right the first time Isaac and his crew are the ones to go with."

"I was extremely pleased with the work Bert and John did for me. They are extraordinary representatives of Bellavance Land Works. Bert works that excavator like a precision instrument. His work is absolute perfection. I was floored by how great it looked when he was finished. His co worker John went above and beyond what the work required. He stayed busy tidying up and finding minor projects to help with while the excavator was in use. Both Bert and John are super nice to have working at your home. They showed up on time, got right to work and left my yard spotless and me extremely happy. Not kidding. Hire these guys. You will be glad you did!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Digging a bush up by the roots is the most natural DIY method for removing a bush stump. Start by identifying the shrub type and revealing its roots. Cut the shrub to its base and loosen the soil, ensuring no utility lines are nearby. Optionally, treat the base with herbicide, then dig around the roots and cut a circle around the shrub using various tools. Dig a trench, cut the base of the root ball, and finally fill the hole to prevent regrowth. This thorough process ensures complete removal without damaging surrounding areas.

Yes, you can technically make a crawl space liveable, but the only way to do so is by converting it into a basement. While some crawl spaces are big enough to walk through and store large items, they lack appropriate insulation and space to be liveable.

The digging depth will depend on the size of the trencher you use. Even smaller units can dig up to 4 feet deep, which is plenty for a DIY job. However, much larger trenchers can reach a depth of 18 feet and are better used by a team of pro contractors, not a single DIYer. As with all home improvement projects, use the right tool for the job and proceed with caution.

After you successfully remove your boulder, you have a few options for what to do to get rid of it. You can rent a dumpster if your yard has many boulders or if you’re planning a larger project. You can even save the boulder and reuse it elsewhere on your property to save on landscaping costs. A few ideas include using the boulder as a natural, abstract statue, breaking it into smaller pieces to line your garden bed, or offering it to a landscaping company that could reuse it for another project.

Most professional excavation teams will charge between $8 and $15 per cubic yard. Calculate the cost by finding the volume of your pool—width x length x depth—and dividing it by 27. Then, multiply the price by the cubic yards from your equation. Budget for complications like a rocky lawn, hard-to-access pool area, or high local labor prices.
