"Tyler installed a complete septic system for our new home construction project. This included a 2000 gallon concrete tank with a distribution box and 165â of leach field. The installation was completed ahead of schedule and the site was finish graded very nicely upon completion. The system design engineer and the city building inspector both signed off with positive comments on the quality of work. We used Tyler to trench and install our water connection as well. We intend to use his services in the future also. We highly recommend him."

"Ed Madruga came out promptly, and was very helpful, knowledgeable, and forthright. He was so helpful, I may end up doing the project myself. If not, he will likely get the job. Later, I came to my senses and had him do the job. He had the right equipment and knew exactly what to do. Got it all done in less time than expected, and charged less than quoted. I highly recommend Madruga Construction."

"I would highly recommend them for any home maintenance or improvement project. He is an excellent craftsman but also has a keen eye for the artistic side of it too. I was able to trust them with the details and now I absolutely love the rock features and pond that they installed in my backyard."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

To determine whether your homeowners' insurance will cover crawl space repair, consider the cause of the issue. Repair may be covered if the problems were caused by an event that the insurance covers, such as vandalism or a windstorm. However, companies won't cover the repair if the issues are caused by neglect or wear and tear.

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.

A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock.

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.
