"I just purchased a home that had a canal that runs straight through my property. In order to get to the other side I needed a culvert put it in. I found Travis online and he was responsive and straight forward. Communication was excellent and he did extra things for me such as deliver gravel for me because I had asked him about it. Such a great guy! Would definitely hire him again! And price was fair! Thanks Travis!"

"These guys were fantastic, from when Mark first came out to meet with me till even after the job was done and paid for. They did it all, excavating, large retaining walls, sprinklers, sod, concrete, hooking up an old waterfall, fences and a very custom gate. Very easy to work with, all my neighbors complement the yard. I went from the worst yard in the neighborhood to what I believe to be the nicest but I m a little biased. I told Mark what I wanted and he gave me some options on what I could do, I couldn t be happier with the job."

"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."

"Apiece from the rising costs of repairs, and rebuilding, Greystone did a great job of rebuilding our fence, and helping the drainage, in record time! Took less than a week for either repair to be scheduled and repaired! Couldnâ t have asked for nicer guys! New gate and all work great! Drains are so good, that they are clearing more water than ever! Thanks Greystone!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

The rules for trenching and excavation include setting up and following safety protocols, learning how to use tools and machines properly, and ensuring there is a safe exit for all workers. Keep heavy equipment and materials away from the edge of the hole or trench. Call the 811 dig line before starting any excavation or trenching project to ensure you don’t hit any electrical or gas lines.

Dumpsters work best on hard, study, and level surfaces made of asphalt, stone, or concrete. If the surface is uneven or too soft, the dumpster could get stuck or tip over when filled. Keep in mind that you must obtain a dumpster permit to keep it on a city street in many areas.

Landscape edging is more DIYable than trenching. You can DIY your own digging projects, but proceed carefully and only with proper knowledge of the equipment and appropriate safety measures in place. Keep in mind the project's scope and estimate how long it will take you to do it on your own. While you can certainly save money by DIYing home improvement projects, you can’t exactly hide an unfinished—or worse, ruined— landscaping job from the neighbors. It’s always safer to call an excavation pro near you to get an estimate.

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.
