"Brandon and Ryan did an awesome job on my landscaping project. They listened to my thoughts for the project, gave me suggestions then made it become a reality. They were very reasonable and great to work with. They also installed my cyclone fencing. I will definitely hire them again when I need anything done."

"Had them come out to Demo a 40 yr oldl4k sqft Log Home with a full basement and also clear and level roughly a 50'x80' track of land of stumps for new construction. They did an amazing job and were very flexible and accomodating. They handled working wth the local Utility (WOE) to disable the power, the Transfer station to handle waste removal, and even worked with us and our neighbors to salvage lumber and logs from the home for future projects. The stumps and roots from the land clearing they even accomodated dropping them in the burn area on the far side of the property for us saving us days worth of work. Highly recommend them for any Demo or Land Clearing projects that you have."

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.

Maintain open communication and address issues as they arise, ensuring contract terms cover potential delays.

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.

Prior to excavation, you should prepare the dig site and call 311 before you sign anything.

To get your site ready for excavation, you should move anything in the area that isn’t affixed to the land. You can save money on the excavation by removing hardscaping, including walkways, decks, concrete patios, and paver patios.

Before you carry out any digging, you should call 311 to confirm that there are no utility lines running through your excavation site. Skipping this step could lead to severe injury and property damage if your excavator hits a water, sewage, or gas line.

If you don’t wish to dig it out and convert it into a finished basement, you can still encapsulate your crawl space to protect it from damage for an average cost of $5,500. Finishing a crawl space beyond this isn’t really worthwhile, as the low ceilings mean you won’t be able to use the area as living space.
