"We shared our vision with Mr. Hernandez of transforming our 2500 sq ft grass back yard into a water conserving oasis with new irrigation, drip watering system, rocks, boulders, plants and trees. He and his crew turned our vision into a reality with top notch work, attention to detail, and within our stated budget despite changes we made during the process. Mr. Hernandez was hands on, responsive and attentive to our needs (I'm a paraplegic) and even went with with us to the nursery to find the best plants and trees for our project. We couldn't be more happy!"

"Silverback Hauling promptly returned my call to schedule a time to haul away broken concrete and brick. They called before their arrival, and they arrived promptly at the scheduled time. They went right to work and 3 of them loaded and hauled away about 3 yards of material in about a half hour. All were very friendly and professional. They cleaned the area thoroughly, leaving no trace of themselves or the material they took away. I was very happy with their work and would use them again in the future."

"Home Advisor referred me to Seth. When we spoke I could tell that he understood the general scope and we set a meeting to check the job. Seth came over looked at the project, finish grading near house and barn. We agreed on the very fair price, and Seth assured me he would get the job done in a day. Seth showed up with his partner, and they went to work. I noted their attention to detail, customer service, and honesty. I appreciated their recommendations for a better result. Perfect team for this project. I am recommending them to family with an acre which needs to be cleared and finished properly. These guys really helped my 1/2 acre home and barn drainage and finish grading. I could sense that they want to do a job right. This is important. I am an experienced tradesman, supervisor, and inspector, and I have no reservations recommending these men to family and friends. Thanks again Seth and Nate. Sincerely, EA"

"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."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

After you successfully remove your boulder, you have a few options for what to do to get rid of it. You can rent a dumpster if your yard has many boulders or if you’re planning a larger project. You can even save the boulder and reuse it elsewhere on your property to save on landscaping costs. A few ideas include using the boulder as a natural, abstract statue, breaking it into smaller pieces to line your garden bed, or offering it to a landscaping company that could reuse it for another project.

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.

Trenchers can dig holes as narrow as 4 inches or as wide as 4 feet. Check the specifications of the trencher you rent or buy to determine how wide it will cut into the landscape. Better yet, let the excavation company know how wide you’d like the trench to be, and they can help you choose the right trencher for the job (or do it for you).

Yes, chipmunk holes may have two or more entrances. Chipmunks can create an entire network of burrows. Having multiple entrances makes it easier for them when trying to escape from a predator, such as a snake, or if an entrance collapses due to flooding. Each entrance leads to the nesting chamber underground, which is where the chipmunk spends the majority of its time sleeping.

To determine whether your homeowners' insurance will cover crawl space repair, consider the cause of the issue. Repair may be covered if the problems were caused by an event that the insurance covers, such as vandalism or a windstorm. However, companies won't cover the repair if the issues are caused by neglect or wear and tear.
