"Green Guys did an excellent job! They were quick, efficient, and very professional from start to finish. The team arrived on time, handled all the junk removal smoothly, and left everything clean. Their customer service was great, friendly and easy to communicate with. I?d definitely hire them again and recommend them to anyone needing waste or material removal."

"We had JCR Landscaping remove wood & existing stone from 2 of our retaining walls. These 4 guys were very skilled, professional, hard working & very respectful of our property. They were on time everyday & did not let the cold, wind or a little snow stop them. They cleaned up everything when completed. You just don't find good quality contractors like this anymore. We highly recommend JCR Landscaping."

"contacted T&K Builders after discovering mold in my exterior wall, and their response was immediate and professional. The team quickly demolished the affected area and installed the necessary structural supports to safely hold the roof. Everyone on site worked efficiently, communicated clearly, and maintained a high level of professionalism throughout the process. They kept the site clean, protected materials from the elements, and were extremely organized—especially important since we received over four inches of snow the following day. From start to finish, the experience was seamless and stress-free. Their attention to detail, workmanship, and respect for the property truly set them apart. I would absolutely recommend T&K Builders for any future projects and would not hesitate to call them again."

"My wife & I had our master bathroom remolded. Cameron was very meticulous about his work. It was a pleasure to be consulted throughout the process. He provided options & was open to our suggestions. We absolutely love our bathroom and feel like we're in a luxury hotel. We both agree that it certainly was a great investment for us. As a result of his craftsmanship, Cameron installed a casement window in our kitchen and tile flooring in our half bathroom. We unequivocally recommend Cameron for home improvement."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Most residential basements are 8 to 10 feet deep. You can dig deeper depending on building codes, but it does become more difficult. You’ll likely need to install stronger foundation walls and additional supports to handle the increased load. Depending on the water table, you may also need a water management system. Clay soil can support a deeper foundation than sandy soil. A structural engineer will be able to tell you the maximum, feasible depth.

You do not have to dig footers for a deck as long as it meets local code and holds up to weather in your area. If you live somewhere that experiences high winds and earthquakes, you may need to dig for your deck posts. Deck blocks, post anchors with base plates, and helical pile systems are the three no-dig deck post options you can choose from if local code permits.

The rules for trenching and excavation include setting up and following safety protocols, learning how to use tools and machines properly, and ensuring there is a safe exit for all workers. Keep heavy equipment and materials away from the edge of the hole or trench. Call the 811 dig line before starting any excavation or trenching project to ensure you don’t hit any electrical or gas lines.

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.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.
