He even encouraged us to make contact again, if we had any further questions or need advice after further installation of pavers/ grass/ pergola (our next step). Thank you Andrew for connecting with us and staying in contact."

"Alex and his team were finally the answer to my struggles! I cannot stress or overstate how professional, yet personable!!, Alex and his guys are! I am getting on in age, now 60, and suddenly I could not 'hop up" on my retaining wall to get into the flower bed anymore! I had brought Alex out for estimates and meet and greet for 3 or more projects we have in mind. I HAVE to get estimates first and then budget it in to my current spending budget and Alex was very gracious and accommodating to help me, not only get the free estimates, but spent much time with me, coming back on multiple occasions to just plan and come up with a number of solutions for each idea I had for each section of landscape!!! He realized, that my husband now working out of state was leaving me pretty alone to deal with this and he stepped up as a professional and as a person to help me! We started with stairs leading up the retaining wall so I could get up there without hurting myself and he made them nice an"

"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."

"We are so happy and grateful for Alex and his team. Alex took our overgrown backyard and fixed our drainage issues from the backyard and regraded and transformed our front yard into a beautiful water friendly and easy to maintain space. Alex is truly an artist when it comes to creating outdoor living spaces. He listened to our ideas and concerns and always help us to feel at ease. I recommend Alex and his team to anyone looking to redo or update their outdoor spaces. Thank you Cal Coast Hardscape and Irrigation for this amazing upgrade to our front and backyard. From the paving, to retaining wall repair, fence repair, complete underground drainage, gutter downspout repair, front and rear yard grading, leach field install, swale and install of a sump pump; I'm confident Alex can do anything."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

In the United States, a depth of 36 inches (three feet) for underground water lines is the accepted industry standard. This depth varies from location to location based on local conditions. In areas with colder winters, they may be buried deeper to prevent frozen well water pipes : This is usually at least six inches below the frost level. The International Plumbing Code calls for a minimum of 12 inches below grade.

It’s possible to transplant trees as tall as 50 feet when an experienced tree planting service uses the right equipment. However, a tree with a trunk larger than two or three inches in diameter needs to be handled by a professional in order to yield successful transplanting results. Consulting a tree planting professional is the best way to tell if your large tree can be safely transplanted.

A walk-behind trencher can cut through roots as long as they’re not too thick, making a project much easier than digging with a shovel and other hand tools. Assess your terrain and the number of trees in the surrounding area to determine if a walk-behind trencher will ease the job. Digging a trench by hand is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive. 

Directional drilling is complex and requires training to use the advanced machinery. It can be challenging to monitor the position of the drill since there’s no direct line of sight. Directional drilling can also be more expensive with a cost of $10 to $30 per linear foot compared to $5 to $12 per linear foot for trenching. 

Above ground pools are not buried in the ground. Typically, above ground pools are semi-permanent. One reason they’re more affordable is that you don’t have to dig for an inground pool and pour concrete or another material. However, you can choose to install a semi inground pool, which is a hybrid between the two.
