"Very good people to work with I am an old guy and get cranky with poor service. To start with they answer, their phone and the young lady you deal with is very knowledgeable and very helpful. Jeff gets back to you very quickly showed up as scheduled we went over the project and they got back to me with an estimate in a very timely manner. Came time to do the job and they were on time and on task very professional every step of the way they were fun to work with , decent people with a good amount of skills and capabilities. I would use them again in a second matter fact I am going to use them again for a little project and probably other things in the future highly recommend them."

"I hired Kody to excavate and gravel my half-dirt, half-grass, pothole filled driveway. In a 3-day time period he came out, did an estimate (on his day off) and completed the job! He is very professional, timely, courteous, responsive to my needs and always kept in contact. He was referred to me by my brother and I have no regrets! I will definitely refer him to anyone that needs this type of job done. Thanks again Kody & Mike!!"

"I called on D1 Affordable to come and trim my oak tree and my mexican palms. They were extremely professional, cleared all of the debris and did a wonderful job. I was very satisfied with their work. They were very reasonably priced. I would definitely use them again and would highly recommend them."

Excavating questions, 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.

To drill a shallow well, you may be able to use a drive well point. This is a tapered point that is driven into the ground. A drill bit at the end of PVC pipe may be another option to consider. A lot of the cost depends on what tools are available near you.

Downspouts should be buried at least 5 to 10 feet away from your foundation. This can vary depending on your local building codes, soil type, and property slope. The main goal is to ensure water is directed away from your foundation.

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.

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.
