"I'd like to thank Mark Rosio & his crew for the beautiful job they did installing a new asphalt roof w/ black seamless gutters on our log home. First of all, his quote was $5K cheaper than the other roofers & he offered a 10% discount for cash (which was a bit spooky for me initially but he has renewed my faith there really are good & honest contractors) & they showed up promptly as promised. The crew had a few warm days & very cold days, but completed everything regardless & really did a nice job. They also picked up their things & were very nice to visit with as well. Honestly, if Mark did other projects, he'd be our go to guy but roofing is his specialty, to which we're grateful. Fyi: He presented all the required certificates & licensing required in WI, to me before payment which I was happy about as well. Thank you Mark & Crew for your great job."

"Amazing service and results. We were thrilled with the project outcome; Joe was conscientious, efficient and thoughtful. The skills applied enabled our yard to be “grass ready” with very little additional prep work. We would definitely retain services for any new projects and recommend to others-we already have ? !"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

You should dig 3 to 6 inches deep for plastic edging. Dig as wide as you need to fit your plastic edging into it—2 inches is usually sufficient.

Trenches are 12 to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, the right depth for your trench will depend on the nature of your project. For example, if you’re digging a trench as part of a French drain installation, it should be 18 inches deep. An excavation professional can explain how deep your trench should be.

It can take several weeks for the ground to settle after removing a tree, and the soil under larger, more mature trees can take months. The deeper the tree has been ground under the soil, the longer it will take to settle. However, this extra depth can help you plant new landscaping sooner because you’ll have more space for fresh soil.

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.
