"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"

"I have hired this company many times for work on my house and they always deliver exceptional quality at an affordable price. They built a beautiful wall and flagstone patio for my backyard. They also built a beautiful concrete pathway up to my front door and did the landscaping watering system and the entire outdoor lighting system. I most recently had Ricardo out to do all the bark for my house which looks amazing!"

"I watched Turnkey crew perform a landscape job for my neighbors across the street and needed someone to dig out tree roots and re-level my patio pavers, run drip irrigation and electrical, pour a new base for my fountain plus install a French drain. Lucio and his crew were professional, on time, fairly priced and most important of all, did top notch work. I have other projects for them down the road, and won't hesitate to call them back. Highly recommend!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Slab foundations are more affordable than crawl spaces because they require minimal excavation, as the slab sits directly on the ground or on footers that only sink a few feet into the ground. Crawl spaces require excavation of the entire footprint of the home to several feet below the surface. Not only does that mean higher labor costs, but more materials are necessary for the concrete foundation walls.

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.

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.

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.

Because decomposed granite is a durable material, a crushed rock or gravel base is optional as long as the DG is properly installed and compacted. However, installing a base is a good idea because it will ensure proper drainage and stability and act as a weed suppressant (although you may still occasionally have to pull weeds). Installing an adequate base can also increase the durability of driveways and walkways. If you forego the paver base or gravel underneath, line the area with landscaping fabric to avoid weeds.
