"Chad and his crew were wonderful! They installed a concrete pad for parking, a stamped patio in the backyard, new stamped concrete walkway, as well as landscaping, grading and new sod. They listened to our needs, budget and made our backyard like an oasis. Highly recommend."

"Hurricane Sally put a huge oak tree through my motherâ s house. She just found out her cancer had returned and now she had to be displaced from her home. Finding a contractor was a challenge. Everyone had damage and was busy. 4 months after the hurricane we found Ronnie Ridlon. He was not only willing to take on this complex project, he was honest, thorough and I knew he was trust worthy. Itâ s just something you feel when you meet Ronnie. Ronnie took on rebuilding my momâ s house and did not disappoint. The best part about this experience was his communication and his knowledge. He took all of our stress off of our plate and 3 months later my mom got to move back in her house. Itâ s hard finding a good contractor you can trust to do something from start to finishâ ¦ Ronnie Ridlon and his team is just that. Highly recommend and we are so thankful he came into our lives. Heâ s one of the best in Fairhope (also from Fairhope)"

"I requested Robert look at what i wanted - steps on either side of my back deck to go down my sloped yard. Next thing I know we are at the Big Box store getting the needed materials…. He’s a git-R-done kind of guy. Next thing I know my problem area is more accessable. Granted, mine was a very small project, but he stayed on the project until it was a done deal. I recommend you give him an opportunity to help you on your next project."

"To hire Daniel and his company Catalina Land Management to clear about six acres in the middle of 13 acres on my property in DeFuniak Florida. They did an outstanding job and within a week I had five acre plot graded out smoothly with next to no extra roots left to pick up. Site was clean no trash or debris left behind. I wish I could say the same about the company that built the home. Will definitely work with them again if ever needed in the future"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Your contractor should handle dust control during the project. It's best to speak with your contractor beforehand to check if they plan to cover your furniture, protect your vents, or use fans to redirect dust. Eliminating drywall dust is a particularly large challenge during construction, so always take this into account during your planning phase.

It can take several weeks for the ground to settle after removing a tree, and the soil under larger, more mature trees can take months. The deeper the tree has been ground under the soil, the longer it will take to settle. However, this extra depth can help you plant new landscaping sooner because you’ll have more space for fresh soil.

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.

In the United States, a depth of 36 inches (three feet) for underground water lines is the accepted industry standard. This depth varies from location to location based on local conditions. In areas with colder winters, they may be buried deeper to prevent frozen well water pipes : This is usually at least six inches below the frost level. The International Plumbing Code calls for a minimum of 12 inches below grade.

The easier way to find buried sprinkler lines is to use the plan from the professionals who installed the system. If you don’t have professional plans, listen for running water on your lawn when you turn on the system. You may also spot wet areas, giving you an idea of where the heads are. Once you find the sprinkler heads, you’ll likely be able to connect the dots between them, revealing the system below.
