"We were very impressed with the paver work the Accurate Grading team did for our driveway and sidewalk to our house. Cameron did a thorough walk-through with us and provided a very reasonable quote, compared with others. They got our project going within a week, and showed up on time daily. The crew paid great attention to detail and kept us up to date and confirmed decisions on design along the way. They did an excellent job grading and prepping the driveway after finding several large boulders. Can't recommend enough - great value and enjoyable experience!"

"Had 2 properties that needed upgrades on backflow valves to meet new requirements. Major excavation, removal of old valves, installation of new valves and concrete replacement. CRM crews were punctual, professional and knowledgeable of permitting procedures and inspections. Great to work with, on budget and willing to work with us on schedule since our business is 7/24/365."

"This is the second time I've used Silverback and I'm about to call for a third job. They're fantastic! I had an old shed filled with pesticides and rat poop that I wanted gone. Without me even having to be there, Chris came out, took a look and then called me with an estimate of $450.00. I came home later that day and that longstanding eyesore was gone, the rat pooped cleaned up and the pesticides stored in a box and left for me to dispose of at the next neighborhood hazardous waste drop off day. Another great experience."

"When we purchased the house, it was a 30 year old home. Almost everybody in the period of five years to seven years wanted to convert to copper plumbing. So what they offered at that time was anyone you referred to if they chose to use their service, you have $500 cash payment which was really nice because half of our neighbors and our family members used them. I do not know what they do now, but it is a really nice service because they are a very good company. They did a great job."

"Our experience with Apollo Pavers was exceptional.  We contacted four different paver companies, and Apollo was the only company to create a professional design up front.  Paola, Apollo's design architect, even revised our design (complete with CAD drawing) at no charge before a contract was signed.  Her design was beautiful, and incorporated all of our original ideas plus some thoughts of her own.  The contract itself was very detailed and professional, and clearly spelled out every phase of the project.
Everyone in the company was very pleasant to deal with, and patiently answered all of our questions, both up front and throughout the project.  The work proceeded without delay, and there were no surprises.  The workers were all friendly and courteous, and worked extremely hard.  Apollo promptly replaced the sod in the front yard which was damaged during the project, as was promised in the beginning.
The final outcome of the project exceeded our expectations, and is beautiful.  Everyone who has seen our backyard has been very impressed.  We would recommend Apollo Pavers without hesitation.

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Maintain open communication and address issues as they arise, ensuring contract terms cover potential delays.

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.

Excavations take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time it takes to excavate an area depends on the size of the area, the type of soil, the type of excavator, and even the time of year, since winter can make digging up the ground more difficult.

Digging out a basement takes anywhere from a few days to a few months. Most projects take at least two to five weeks, but it could take several months if you encounter obstacles. This project takes longer if you need to brace or raise your home before the excavation. Digging out a basement in new construction can take as little as three days.

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.
