"Quick response with quote, which was really reasonable. They were able to complete the project right away. I had them remove glued down wood flooring, which is really difficult. A couple hours after they arrived the area was cleaned and ready for install. Will hire again for other projects."

Customers say: Quick response

"I received two other estimates before contacting Home Advisor and thus Rene from Environmental... I knew from the moment that I spoke to Rene that I liked him and would most likely hire him. He was presentable, listened to my ideas and then offered up some of his own for what he thought might look nice and work well for my project. He spent at least An hour here, taking measurements and plotting the job and returned the following day with his estimate. Rene was definitely not the cheapest however he was definitely the most thorough, precise and professional... He busted his butt over the next two weeks and knocked it out of the park! I will most certainly hire Rene again and will recommend him to my friends and family without a doubt... Thank You Rene!"

"I heard about SES from my friend. He did last year a kitchen remodeling project with them. I wanted to renovate 2 bathrooms, so I called them right away and got 4 more quotes. I felt more comfortable with SES and decided to do the project with them. The result came out greater than I imagined. Thank you guys"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.

Skunk digging looks like a series of small, cone-shaped holes on a lawn or around the perimeter of a home, porch, deck, or shed. The holes that skunks dig when searching for grubs tend to be no more than four inches in diameter and may be up to four inches deep.

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 easier way to find buried sprinkler lines is to use the plan from the professionals who installed the system. If you don’t have professional plans, listen for running water on your lawn when you turn on the system. You may also spot wet areas, giving you an idea of where the heads are. Once you find the sprinkler heads, you’ll likely be able to connect the dots between them, revealing the system below.

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.
