We welcome your questions and thank you for your interest. We accept credit, debit, paypal, cashapp, venmo, zelle, apple pay, cash

"I hired M&C Landscapers (Mike) in November 2024 through Angi, and it turned into a costly mistake. Instead of doing a simple fence paint job correctly, he splattered paint all over both sides of my home?s siding, causing permanent damage. When I reached out to him for a resolution, he refused to take responsibility and told me to ?feel free to do what you have to do? insinuating going to small claims court. No fix, no refund, no accountability ? just damage left behind after being paid in full. This was some of the most careless workmanship and worst customer service I?ve ever experienced and this is my first ever bad review that I?ve done in my life. I strongly warn anyone considering M&C Landscapers: protect your home and hire someone else."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The best type of soil to build on is a mixture of sand and clay, known as loam soil. Loam soil has the best combination of these soil types to build a foundation on. The clay particles help with water retention, so it won’t erode like sandy soil might, and the sandy particles help with drainage, so you won’t see unsafe soil expansion or have an increased risk of leaks from water sitting against your foundation.

Consultation with the local government helps identify necessary permits, avoid project delays or legal issues, and protect project integrity.

If you don’t wish to dig it out and convert it into a finished basement, you can still encapsulate your crawl space to protect it from damage for an average cost of $5,500. Finishing a crawl space beyond this isn’t really worthwhile, as the low ceilings mean you won’t be able to use the area as living space.

Yes, you can technically make a crawl space liveable, but the only way to do so is by converting it into a basement. While some crawl spaces are big enough to walk through and store large items, they lack appropriate insulation and space to be liveable.

Depth is not a qualifying component of evacuation. Any human-made cut, cavity, or depression in the earth’s surface is considered excavation. The hole from excavation can be any size, shape, or depth. Excavation is used to create foundations, reservoirs, drainage ditches, and roads. Long, narrow excavations are called trenches and are often used for underground utilities.
