"Back in 2021 we had D&R come out to fix a main water break. We had to pay $4000 upfront deposit (which we were fine with) as the whole estimate was around 6,000. Come day of repair Richard told us he replaced the pipe from the meter to the house connection. He came in and charged us $5,588.00 MORE. What are we going to do? Not pay him? He also told us that due to our yard being left in complete disarray he would send a sub contractor he uses to flatten our yard back out once the dirt and sand settled. That way we could start planting grass seed and get our yard back to the way he found it. NEVER HAPPENED. We still have hills and valleys in our front yard. Fast forward to this past weekend 7/27, our main water line burst again. Instantly called Richard and was given high estimates to fix. After the last time I was skeptical but it was obvious he didn't want to help. I understand warranty and the pipe was no longer covered. We dug the hole ourselves to avoid the 2500 he quoted us over the phone to dig by hand and had another plumber come to find out D&R did not replace the hose to the connection at the house like we were charged for, instead he hooked up the black farmer pipe that was a couple feet from the house connection. (I still have the receipt) Every plumber we have spoken to since says we were completely taken advantage of and the cost of the original repair should not have exceeded $5,000. Complete extortion of the situation. So here we are not even 2.5 years later paying to fix the issue D&R made us pay for. I can not in good conscience recommend this company. We are STILL paying for this repair, and have more on top of it now that it has broke again."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.

Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.

Yes, you can install a trench drain if you already have concrete in your yard or garden. While it can complicate some aspects of the job and slightly run up the cost, it is doable. Residential trench drains can be easily retrofitted to outdoor areas with concrete without having to remove excessive amounts of your patio, pool area, or decorative walkways.

It’s possible to transplant trees as tall as 50 feet when an experienced tree planting service uses the right equipment. However, a tree with a trunk larger than two or three inches in diameter needs to be handled by a professional in order to yield successful transplanting results. Consulting a tree planting professional is the best way to tell if your large tree can be safely transplanted.

Most professional excavation teams will charge between $8 and $15 per cubic yard. Calculate the cost by finding the volume of your pool—width x length x depth—and dividing it by 27. Then, multiply the price by the cubic yards from your equation. Budget for complications like a rocky lawn, hard-to-access pool area, or high local labor prices.

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.
