Tricks of the Trade

Notice the concrete being buried at the bottom of this pit.

Ever wonder what happens to concrete and tree stumps when you do projects like ours?  Generally, a common practice contractors will use is to create a "bury pit" and place all unwanted materials inside the pit.  Once the pit is full and compacted, it is tamped down firm and then back-filled with dirt and smoothed over.  If done properly, bury pits can be a very effective way to dispose of material, and cost much less than hauling it off site.  The trick is to bury things deep so they will not settle out.  Tree stumps and organic matter, when buried deep enough to eliminate oxygen, will never rot or decompose.  At least not in our lifetime!  To date we have hauled a little over 8,000 yds of silt to the Driving Range, and the Tee is almost half way to being rough shaped!  Take a look at the driving range when you get a chance, you will start to see it taking shape!
