"Central Wisconsin Excavating (CWE) did a fantastic job on our project. They built a solid, well-prepared foundation for our 80,000-bushel grain bin and graded our driveways perfectly to ensure water drains away from our buildings. Their attention to detail, quality of work, and professionalism really stood out. The site was left clean and properly finished, and everything was done right the first time. We’re extremely happy with the results and would highly recommend CWE to anyone needing excavation or site work done right."

"I used these guys for some pretty extensive excavations and concrete work for our backyard patio. This included a huge footer for a multidimensional retaining wall and flatwork. Could not be happier with how it all turned out! Highly recommend!"

"After being let down numerous times by a company that kept promising to start a project for 3 weeks, I reached out to Total Ground Solutions. It was a risk, but as soon as I talked with Cooper, I felt very comfortable. He came to see the area, made some excellent suggestions, and I knew he was a great fit. He was great at communicating, easy to work with and did everything when promised and above expectations. He did an amazing job and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this company!!"

"My rock border was full of dirt and weeds. The guys took out the stones, cleaned them off on the driveway, put down new weed guard, then replaced the stones and added more to fill in. It looks like new! They also sawed down a couple of stumps and worked around my existing plants. Pleased with how it turned out!"

"I highly recommend Life Support Property Solutions! I had some water damage in my basement late last week and was very concerned with the rainy forecast today. Jesse was able to get to my house in an impressively short amount of time, bringing a ladder to clean out my gutters and help prevent any further overflow. He was incredibly responsive and helpful and went above and beyond to help when I was stressed about my home. I really appreciate his willingness to shift his day around to make sure this was taken care of before the rain came. I would absolutely recommend Jesse and Life Support Property Solutions to anyone looking for someone reliable, compassionate, trustworthy, and willing to go the extra mile. I?m grateful for the help and will definitely keep Life Support Property Solutions in mind for future home projects!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

No, a ditch isn’t a trench. A ditch is an open, relatively shallow channel that’s carved out of the ground and used for drainage purposes. In contrast, a trench is a deeper excavation that’s entirely underground. Trenches have many uses, including gas lines, sewage systems, and electrical wiring. Unlike trenches, ditches don’t get filled back in with dirt after they’re dug.

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.

No, fire blight does not survive free in the soil but instead is carried through insects, animals, rain, or wind during the spring. Keep in mind that it can also spread on tools, which is why you should always disinfect them in between cuts.

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.

Preparation involves site assessment, clearing debris, grading surfaces, and compacting soil to support stable construction.
