Lovett and its 60 employees have been making happy customers for 15 years servicing Oregon & Washington.

"We were one of the lucky ones to work with Lovett, County, an another Contractor on a project that we didn't want! When they got to moving our water meter and PRV, the contractor or Water company couldn't work on private property, so they hired Lovett. Where they move our PRV, it was under water. We had told them where they were putting it; that the water table is high. But, Lovett and the County said this is where it needs to go. This whole process lasted for months, I sent photos of our PRV under ice, no response but it did show up on their Facebook page, "to call if this happens to you" my photo that I had sent! I have chatted with both Scott and Gabe, plus the tech(s) on site. All (3) companies kept putting the blame on one another. I had a conference call with all 3 of them, and told them that my PRV is under 3' of water and I need help. I asked multiple times for an estimate, and no one would send me one. This whole mess started with their employee coming into our home looking at our hot water heater and mentioning where that PRV is, that we will have problems. This is in the wrong location. They did come out and move it 12", which was a complete waste of time. Again, as I mentioned it's under 3' of water. Their answer was this employee no longer works with us! Over and over! Scott told me in the very beginning, "We will take care of you, if not you can write a review". Where here I am writing a review."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Some two-in-one tools and machines do both jobs, and those could be the right solution for smaller residential projects. However, the phrase “use the right tool for the job” definitely applies to digging. For the best results, get two separate tools for your trenching and landscape edging projects or call a pro to take care of everything for you.

A mini excavator can dig between 5 and 11 feet deep, depending on the type and size of the mini excavator. Mini hydraulic excavators are more powerful and can reach deeper into the earth, but electric models have a more limited range. Mini excavators over two tons in size are also more powerful and able to dig as deep as 11 feet.

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.

There are several different factors that influence how long it takes to excavate. For a foundation, it could take anywhere from three days to three weeks. It can take even longer if you face weather-related delays or an inaccessible site that’s riddled with boulders and rough terrain. It may also take longer if you have clay soil, which is more difficult to dig.

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.
