"Mark and the team did an outstanding job. Our drainage was a mess in several places. They methodically identified and cleared out each spot, replacing pipes and digging new trenches. They were very careful with our landscaping, making sure no plants were damaged in the process. They were respectful of our property and cleaned everything up before they concluded the job. I would definitely recommend them."

"I recently hired this landscaping team for minor grading and resloping work, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the initial consultation to the final walkthrough, they were professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly detail-oriented. They took the time to assess the drainage issues on my property and clearly explained how regrading and adjusting the slope would help prevent water pooling. The work was completed efficiently, and the difference is night and day—no more standing water, and the yard looks clean, level, and well-finished. What really stood out was their attention to detail and pride in their work. They made sure everything was properly sloped, compacted, and blended seamlessly with the rest of the landscape. They also left the area spotless when they were done. If you need grading, resloping, or general landscaping work, I highly recommend this team. Honest, reliable, and top-quality results all around"

"If you want to hire a company that will communicate with you, show up and work very hard to make your dreams come true, hire Jaime Hernandez of Maranata Landscaping Inc. Jaime and his crew did a top notch job in renovating our backyard. Our backyard is huge. It needed a total gut job and what we wanted and received was a beautiful and gorgeous drought tolerant backyard! Jaime has a keen eye when it comes to laying out the backyard with drought tolerant plants, bender board, pebbles, slate, river rock and bark plus the added benefit of Jaime asking us if we wanted certain things that we hadn't even thought about like accent lighting in our backyard. Yes, we do! I can't sing enough praises about Jaime and his crew! They were so easy to work with, so very trustworthy, always cleaned up after themselves, and I could go on and on. If you hire them, trust me, you will not be sorry. I am a very satisfied customer."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

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. 

Generally, a trenchless sewer line is worth the cost. If your old system needs replacement, trenchless sewer repair or replacement can save you thousands on excavation costs. Every homeowner’s situation is different, but this method is definitely worth it in a lot of cases.

If you don’t wish to dig it out and convert it into a finished basement, you can still encapsulate your crawl space to protect it from damage for an average cost of $5,500. Finishing a crawl space beyond this isn’t really worthwhile, as the low ceilings mean you won’t be able to use the area as living space.

Yes, chipmunk holes may have two or more entrances. Chipmunks can create an entire network of burrows. Having multiple entrances makes it easier for them when trying to escape from a predator, such as a snake, or if an entrance collapses due to flooding. Each entrance leads to the nesting chamber underground, which is where the chipmunk spends the majority of its time sleeping.

Trenching and boring are two distinct methods for installing underground utilities. Trenching involves digging a channel using equipment like an excavator, trencher, backhoe, or shovel. While it is a simpler process, it causes significant disruption to the surface, landscaping, and surrounding ecosystems.

Boring, also known as directional boring, is a less invasive alternative that uses a drill to create a tunnel for utility lines without disturbing the surface. This method is more precise and is ideal for installations that need to go underneath buildings, roads, or bodies of water. Although boring is less disruptive, it is generally more expensive than trenching.
