"We got bids from four contractors and went with Fence 4 U and are happy we did. Guillermo was awesome. He was friendly, reasonably priced, knowledgeable, on time and did great work quickly. Will definitely hire Fence 4 U for the side fence we'll replace next."

"Ken is very knowledgeable and professional. My backyard was not draining well in the last rain after a garage extension. He graded the soil and built a paving stone walkway. When I couldn't find anyone to put sods on the soil, he took on the job and did a great job. I am very happy with the work."

"This project is held up by the insurance process. We are in litigation over a dispute of the value of the property that is being demolished. The time frame for the project is May 9th - June 9th as long as we get the appraisals done. Daniel Shoemaker also referred me to the excavator / grading specialist / foundation contractor. All the foundation contractors that have contacted me through Angie have either told me they don’t do this work or made appointments that they didn’t show up for. Daniel’s team mates seem like they are the best choice that will help us complete this project a-z. I am currently looking for an architect to draw up the foundation plans so that we can get the approvals from the HCD. When I have requested this info from Angi, it keeps ha ing an “error”. I hope that this is a glitch that will resolve itself so we can put the entire project together. With Gratitude, Daemon Owens 269-586-4103"

"We signed on to Angies? List Big Deal and got a detailed landscape plan from landscape designer Anna Harrington.  After refining the plan, we competitively bid the project, ultimately selecting Landscape West as the contractor. John worked closely with Anna and us throughout the project, which involved the removal of 55 cu. yd. of turf and existing plants, demolition of existing walkways,
repairing existing brick stairway, extensive regrading, construction of a 1200 sq. ft. flagstone and decomposed granite walk and patio, installation of 445 native and drought resistant plants, extensive tree trimming, design and installation of a drip irrigation system for the entire property, application of 60 cu. yd. of walk-on mulch, and design and installation of a pathway and foliage LED lighting system. John?s crew was skilled, hard working and cleaned up the work area at the end of each day. John checked the progress personally most days. We are delighted with the new landscape  and would strongly recommend John to others needing major landscaping work."

"They came out and gave us a free estimate to clean out and re-line our main sewer line. They ran into some problems trying to insert the liner due to the angle of the access pipe.  It ended up being a lot of extra work for them - however, they stood by their original estimate. They were very professional and left the job site clean.

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

A mini excavator can dig between 5 and 11 feet deep, depending on the type and size of the mini excavator. Mini hydraulic excavators are more powerful and can reach deeper into the earth, but electric models have a more limited range. Mini excavators over two tons in size are also more powerful and able to dig as deep as 11 feet.

No, fire blight does not survive free in the soil but instead is carried through insects, animals, rain, or wind during the spring. Keep in mind that it can also spread on tools, which is why you should always disinfect them in between cuts.

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.

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.

Excavation is priced in cubic yards, so you’ll need to find the volume of the area in order to calculate costs. Multiply the length, width, and proposed depth of your excavation site, then convert it into yards to get the volume. Multiply this figure by the price per cubic yard.

Most homeowners can measure by hand to get a rough estimate, even if it’s tedious. You may want to pull out a tape measure or use a string to help mark the area.
