"He works steady and pays attention to detail. He repaired a privacy fence that a large section had fallen down. Does not waste time. He is courteous and takes time to explain how he is going to make the repair. I recommend him to anyone and plan to call him again for future repairs and new projects."

"I was very impressed with the work. They are a crew of go-getters. They arrive early in the morning and immediately got busy. They took down 4 fairly large trees and did all the clean up in a day and 1/2. The price was very reasonable and they were careful with the property around the task at hand. I will definitely use them again."

"Had an initial consultation with their customer service consultant about a month before project was started.  The consultant was very easy to talk to and I felt like he wanted to understand what we wanted to accomplish.  He also seemed to have a lot of knowledge about drainage issues, so we felt like we were in good hands.  The plan was drawn out and we agreed on the work to be done.  The work team came in on the appointed week and got the job done in good time.  There was a minor misunderstanding of the location for the collector grate based on a nuance in the plan sketch drawn up by the consultant.  After we pointed it out, the crew re-worked the trenches and got the collector grate where the sketch had it placed.  They did an excellent job and we are happy with the work they did.  We will look them up again next time we need landscaping work done.
{Update 3/8/13}
 While we were very happy with the work done at the time of project completion, our evaluation changed after the first rainstorm we had.  The pop up emitter was about a half inch higher than the grate collector by the sidewalk, so all the rain from the gutters was flowing out of the grate right by the house and the pop up emitter in the middle of the yard wasn't emitting anything.  The sales rep was very responsive, came out,  and agreed with the problem.  He said we could submit a warranty request through the website.  In all fairness, I did not contact them.  If I did, I still could not give an excellent review because we paid good money for a solution that did not meet best practices the first time.  The installation instructions for the pop up emitter said a 1 percent grade must be accounted for.  If they had just shot the pipe towards a valley in the yard, the requisite 5 inch drop could be achieved with the linear feet of pipe I paid for.   I was also told by the sales rep that to cut the curb and run the drainage to the street would cost  $500 for a permit from the city.  Found out that was not the case from talking to the city.  With a little more technical training of their staff, I feel the value they provide could be much better than it turned out for us."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Digging a well can cost between $20 and $25,000, depending on your needs. If you’re looking to dig a well yourself, all you need is a shovel. If you’re looking to have a well drilled by a professional, you can expect to pay around $15 to $30 per foot. The total cost of drilling a well will average to $5,500.

To drill a shallow well, you may be able to use a drive well point. This is a tapered point that is driven into the ground. A drill bit at the end of PVC pipe may be another option to consider. A lot of the cost depends on what tools are available near you.

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.

There is no standard depth for burying a septic tank; they are typically buried anywhere from 4 inches to 4 feet underground. The final depth depends on several factors, including the depth of your main sewer line, the height of the bedrock, soil type, local regulations, and the property's landscape. If you plan to grow grass or plants over the tank, a depth of at least 4 to 6 inches is recommended. Deeper tanks can be more difficult to locate, but a septic professional can help find it for you.

Yes, an excavation company is the best option for land grading and yard leveling. General landscapers might be able to tackle these projects, but an excavation company will do a better job because they’re used to operating the necessary heavy machinery. Landscapers might opt to do the work manually, which takes much longer and could cost you more in labor fees. Finally, excavation companies will understand local regulations and know when you need permits to legalize the work, while a landscaper might not.
