"Awesome finish work to our tiny remote cabin! Ryan and crew installed our LVP flooring in just a few hours. He kept us up to date on the project with text and pictures, super helpful since we live in Seattle and had to work. His crew kept the construction site clean and the vendor he used for our cedar interior work was meticulous. Thanks Ryan!"

"I initially contacted Erik of Dirt Pros in early July and he arrived when he said he would for the estimate. The estimate sounded good so I had Erik email the proposal for signature. He said it would be about 3 weeks and that was fine with us. Erik came yesterday 7/30 and delivered the topsoil and created the bed with mounds. I was not home, but left a copy of the architect's rendering. A couple of tweaks were needed, so I emailed Erik and he came out today and made the corrections. An excellent experience from start to finish.

"It went incredibly well. Ray Lopez, General Sales Manager, was absolutely wonderful to work with. He was professional, always responsive, friendly and a delight to work with. He was always accommodating and answered all of my many questions promptly. He had some fantastic ideas, e.g. a stone bench, and dark paver trim for the border, which totally enhanced the beauty of the final result. He got us on the schedule early and the job was completed in record time. It turned out better than I'd ever hoped for. The pavers are gorgeous and look even better after it rains! I have use of my front yard for morning coffee or a place to sit and relax in the evening. Every day I look at it and smile because it has completely transformed our front entry, made it functional and infinitely more attractive. Everyone who has come by to see the job (neighbors, friends, even the mail carrier) has commented on how beautifully it turned out. This is one of the very best contractors I have ever worked with. Per their claim, they were On Time, On Budget, and Done Right. I would recommend them to anyone and will definitely have them do more work on future paving projects."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

There are many ways to cut through roots when digging, especially if your trencher doesn’t seem to be removing the roots. First, use a shovel to expose the roots. Then, use gardening shears to clear out smaller roots or a reciprocating saw to remove larger plant roots. If you plan on keeping the plant, avoid cutting any roots over 2 inches thick.

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.

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.

You can dig 60 to 80 linear feet by hand per day depending on the depth. Digging a 100-foot trench by hand will take you two work days, but it can take longer if you have heavy or rocky soil. If you’re digging a deep trench or one that’s over 100 feet, consider renting a mechanical trencher, such as a walk-behind or ride-on, or calling a pro for help. 

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.
