"Mark built and installed a beautiful custom Murphy folding wall bed (queen size). FixForte was extremely professional and timely. There was great communication and I am amazed how the finished project turned out. Please see the craftmanship in the trim and the perfect lines on the cuts. This piece of custom furniture has already become a valued treasure."

"Jimmy and crew arrived on time and got right to work. They were very thorough and had the driveway completed in 4 hours. Very happy with the new driveway, no more pots holes or mud to drive through! Thinking of hiring them again for another project."

"We needed grading and sod removal on our horse tracksâ ¦ Shannon did everything with precision and attention to detail.. ours was not an easy project.. fencing needed to be worked around and soil moved off the track.. everything was left immaculate! He is a pro! A friend had recommended his company.. lucky to have found them."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Septic drain lines (or leach lines) are typically buried between 18 and 36 inches underground, and should be at least 6 inches below the surface. These pipes are perforated and surrounded by filtering materials like sand or gravel. Burying the lines at this depth helps minimize odors and allows bacteria and other biological processes in the soil to effectively treat the wastewater. Burying lines too close to the surface can cause issues unless the soil is very compact and stable.

Trenching is a specific kind of digging. Trenching means digging a depression in the earth that’s deeper than it is wide, often with heavy machinery. Digging refers to any kind of removal of earth in order to create a human-made depression, hole, or cut in the earth’s surface. You can dig with big tools or even with just a hand shovel.

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.

Concrete blocks are the cheapest way to base a shed. However, the space in between allows critters to go under, burrow, and even damage your shed’s frame. For a more pest-proof option, consider building a shed base with gravel or paver stones. Both options are fairly affordable and easy enough for a DIY project. For gravel, you can build a wooden frame to contain the loose material.

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.
