"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."

"Jorge and his assistant were very hard workers, on time to the work location and very clean work. I have had many compliments on their construction of my new 63ftx6ft redwood fence."

"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"

"In a word, excellent. 100+' of used brick brings symmetrical acuity to previously ill defined plant beds. Low water, drought resistant plants & shrubs complete with drip irrigation system and new LV lighting, adds life & joy to a yard one once avoided. Perhaps the highlight is the 640 sq.ft of synthetic turf. If you have ever considered using such a product you MUST see the new products available through Landscape West. We chose a bi-color Mammoth 80 and the result is amazing. Everyone who has seen the new yard cannot believe how authentic the turf appears. John Hopkins design, the efforts of his crew, and the end result made this a delightful experience, start to finish. We could not be happier nor more grateful."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

While general contractors sometimes handle demolition, you can also look specifically for local demolition contractors. Demolition experts need to understand structural integrity, the equipment needed for safe demolition, and the permits required for demolition.

You should dig 3 to 6 inches deep for plastic edging. Dig as wide as you need to fit your plastic edging into it—2 inches is usually sufficient.

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.

The best method for digging a trench depends on the scope of the project. For a short, shallow trench (less than 2 feet deep) in light, soft soil, digging by hand may be sufficient. However, digging by hand is labor-intensive, so consider the effort required. A machine trencher is the better option for longer trenches (over 100 feet), deeper ones, or when dealing with difficult soil conditions, such as rocky or hard ground, or obstructions like tree roots. A machine can save significant time and energy in these situations.

Digging a well can cost between $20 and $25,000, depending on your needs. If you’re looking to dig a well yourself, all you need is a shovel. If you’re looking to have a well drilled by a professional, you can expect to pay around $15 to $30 per foot. The total cost of drilling a well will average to $5,500.
