"Justin and his crew did an amazing job of installing a small area of artificial turf. They also whacked our weeds, trimmed our trees and took out dead vegetation. Very hard working, courteous, and priced fairly. Highly recommend."

"We have a vacation home in Prescott Valley and needed to find a reliable person to take care of the outside of our house. I was impressed when the owner Chris (Uber) Ayala quickly answered the phone or calls back right away. Chris has been polite, professional and helpful. He and his crew took care of our neglected front and back yard in Prescott Valley. They removed dead plants and leaves, trimmed shrubs and removed the many weeds that were the result of monsoon rains. Cleaned patio, sidewalk and driveway. The place looks great! Quality, dependable work at a reasonable price. We will be using them on a monthly basis for yard care as we are only there part-time. It's nice to find someone you can depend on when you are not there. We will be using him in the spring to fix our irrigation system."

"Arrived on time. Got the equipment ready for the job and went to work. They trimmed big Mahogany Bushes, trimmed trees and removed all of the weeds. They worked hard and steady for 8 hours with a break for lunch off property. I would hire them again and highly recommend them to anyone."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

You can dig 60 to 80 linear feet by hand per day depending on the depth. Digging a 100-foot trench by hand will take you two work days, but it can take longer if you have heavy or rocky soil. If you’re digging a deep trench or one that’s over 100 feet, consider renting a mechanical trencher, such as a walk-behind or ride-on, or calling a pro for help. 

Yes, you can excavate in the winter, but it might make the job harder. Frozen ground is harder to dig, and snow or ice can make the work site more hazardous. A contractor may need special equipment and techniques, such as ground-thawing methods, to break through frozen soil. Although winter excavation is possible, it may take longer and be more costly than excavating during warmer months.

Excavations take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time it takes to excavate an area depends on the size of the area, the type of soil, the type of excavator, and even the time of year, since winter can make digging up the ground more difficult.

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.

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.
