"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

The cost to repair a crawl space runs between $1,500 and $15,000, depending on the extent of the damage. Major flooding or water repairs can cost up to $10,000 for removal and repairs. If you simply need to clean your crawl space, expect to pay between $2,000 and $6,000 for a major cleanout. Replacing a crawl space beam due to rot or damage can cost between $1,500 and $5,000, while removing and replacing damaged insulation costs between $1,000 and $4,000.

It takes one hour to dig a 10-foot trench by hand. Use a trenching shovel with a sharp tip and a long head. Plan for more time if your soil is heavy or rocky. Consider renting a trencher if you’re digging a long or deep trench or if you have challenging soil or terrain. 

The physical constraints of hand-drilling a well limit the depth you can achieve. Manually digging with picks and shovels may only lead to shallow wells of up to 60 feet in depth. To reach greater depths, you need more specialized equipment. The diameter of your well and the tools you’re using will determine how far down you can dig.

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.

If you have a broken sprinkler pipe underground, there will be some signs you can easily spot to locate it and take action. These include leaks, water spouts, flooding, consistently damp areas on your lawn, low water pressure, and grass around the sprinkler head that’s taller and darker than anywhere else in the yard. 

If there are no obvious signs of a broken pipe, you can use tools such as water leak mics, leak noise loggers, audio devices that record leaks, and acoustic testing links. 

Broken pipes can lead to uneven watering, plant damage, and higher utility bills. The longer you wait to fix them the more the repair cost may be.
