"This pro did a fantastic job on my project. From the eatimating to planning to the installation was a great experience. Good old fashioned customer service is the foundation of everything this pro does. I would not have gotten a better job or more timely completion from any other pro. Don't hesitate to consider this pro for a variety of services provided. I assure you it will be done with highest standards of quality, in a timely manner and at a fair price. I could not be more pleased with the wood fence job. It makes my property look great and will be safe and secure for my dog and the grandkids. Well done!!!"

"They did a lot of work for us, tearing down an old barn and mobile home, bush hogging a couple of acres and part of our woods; and refurbishing our driveway. They did a great job, my only disappointment was they didnâ t get all the junk removed, but overall Iâ m happy with their work."

"John showed up timely! He removed and hauled away a large shed in our back yard. He was very professional and left the job site way cleaner than it was found. He did an excellent job and I have since hired his company again for a dumpster."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Professional installers often include a deep layer of crushed gravel under permeable pavers to allow more runoff to soak through into the soil below. Many installations will include multiple layers of gravel, with coarser aggregate at the base and finer aggregate that sits on top of that bottom layer. Above the gravel, you’ll often find coarse sand that helps reduce paver shifting over time. Some permeable paver designs include a water collection system set into the gravel layer to route runoff to a safe area for disposal.

Yes, trenchers can go through gravel. Gravel is made up of smaller, softer rocks that certain trenchers are able to cut through. Just be sure to use a rock wheel trencher or chain trencher, both of which are made to cut through rocky landscapes and gravel pathways without dulling the teeth or chain.

Slab foundations are more affordable than crawl spaces because they require minimal excavation, as the slab sits directly on the ground or on footers that only sink a few feet into the ground. Crawl spaces require excavation of the entire footprint of the home to several feet below the surface. Not only does that mean higher labor costs, but more materials are necessary for the concrete foundation walls.

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.

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.
