"After leaving multiple messages and getting no return calls from the other guys, I contacted Masterwork Construction and was connected with Rob. This guy will do anything for you, from excellent explanations, to professional referrals, to amazing recommendations this guy has the information for you, and if he doesn't he will find it for you fast. My wife and I bought raw land and started the project of building our dream home. Rob is incredible when it comes to explaining why and how his company will get your projects done. My wife and I wanted to put in some sweat equity to save some money initially, and he was happy to tell us what exactly to do! If you are in need to earth moving work look no further. Give Rob a call and you will have zero issues getting what you need done, quickly, and at a good price."

"I had 4 overgrown shrubs removed and 4 shrubs trimmed and am very happy with the work provided. You wouldn't even know there were 4 shrubs there, the clean up was very professional. I'm hiring GV to come back next week to remove an old dead pine tree. Emmanuel stayed in communication with me, which was very helpful."

"I couldn’t be happier with the work Gus did on my yard! He removed old plants, regraded the landscape, planted new shrubs, and spread fresh mulch, completely transforming the space. What impressed me most was his incredible work ethic. He put in long hours, paid attention to every detail, and took great pride in making sure everything looked perfect. The finished project exceeded my expectations, and my yard has never looked better. It’s clear that Gus genuinely cares about doing quality work and making his customers happy. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for landscaping, plant removal, grading, or mulch installation. Thank you, Gus, for your hard work and dedication!"

"Colton installed a 10x12 gravel base pad for a shed we bought. He did an excellent job! His bid was very competitive with other landscapers in the area and the quality of work was on point. He was on time, respectful, and made sure we were happy with the job prior to him completing the job. I would definitely recommend him!"

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

To locate an underground downspout, you should start by identifying where the above ground gutter drains. Look for an entry point, such as a pipe or elbow leading into the ground. Follow the surface path for signs like depressions, landscaping disruptions, or wet areas after rain. You can use a metal detector or plumber’s snake to trace the pipe underground. For deeper pipes, a professional locator tool or camera inspection may be necessary. Visual markers or utility maps can also guide the search.

A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock.

Digging a bush up by the roots is the most natural DIY method for removing a bush stump. Start by identifying the shrub type and revealing its roots. Cut the shrub to its base and loosen the soil, ensuring no utility lines are nearby. Optionally, treat the base with herbicide, then dig around the roots and cut a circle around the shrub using various tools. Dig a trench, cut the base of the root ball, and finally fill the hole to prevent regrowth. This thorough process ensures complete removal without damaging surrounding areas.

The best method for digging a trench depends on the scope of the project. For a short, shallow trench (less than 2 feet deep) in light, soft soil, digging by hand may be sufficient. However, digging by hand is labor-intensive, so consider the effort required. A machine trencher is the better option for longer trenches (over 100 feet), deeper ones, or when dealing with difficult soil conditions, such as rocky or hard ground, or obstructions like tree roots. A machine can save significant time and energy in these situations.

The physical constraints of hand-drilling a well limit the depth you can achieve. Manually digging with picks and shovels may only lead to shallow wells of up to 60 feet in depth. To reach greater depths, you need more specialized equipment. The diameter of your well and the tools you’re using will determine how far down you can dig.
