"I?m not sure if I caught this pro at a bad time or not, but he was initially very quick to respond and promising and had great reviews . He had the best price on the project of the quotes I had received at that time. I accepted the job. He said he would he done with my project in one day, one day turned to over two weeks. He claimed his whole team had illnesses on multiple days, couldn?t come during rain, and holidays or other things came up. At the end of the day the project looks good, but wasn?t exactly what I asked for. There was lack of communication for each day when it would be completed or if it was even done, and I had to reach out myself for clarification. Despite the lack of clarification , he was quick to ask for a deposit and full payment. After I asked for what wasn?t done right to be fixed, he said he would come back to finish up and never showed up again. Again, I?m not sure if I caught him at a bad time, but it wasn?t the best experience. "

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Digging out a basement takes anywhere from a few days to a few months. Most projects take at least two to five weeks, but it could take several months if you encounter obstacles. This project takes longer if you need to brace or raise your home before the excavation. Digging out a basement in new construction can take as little as three days.

Silt fences should be trenched 8 to 12 inches deep to prevent sediment-filled water from escaping underneath. It also helps to anchor the fence during wet, windy weather. The silt fence fabric often has a red line to indicate the depth for digging. A good contractor will be familiar with the guidelines and regulations.

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.

The easier way to find buried sprinkler lines is to use the plan from the professionals who installed the system. If you don’t have professional plans, listen for running water on your lawn when you turn on the system. You may also spot wet areas, giving you an idea of where the heads are. Once you find the sprinkler heads, you’ll likely be able to connect the dots between them, revealing the system below.

Completion time ranges from days to weeks, contingent on project size, environmental conditions, and regulatory approvals.
