"Nick did a terrific job removing the entire front yard carefully. He shoveled the areas he could not reach with his Bobcat, removed tough roots, kept me informed about potential problems, and spread 8 cubic yards of mulch and gravel efficiently. Isaac (Ike), the owner, was very professional and gave me a good price, and even discounted it when they had to come a day late. The work took three hours and Nick left the front clean and swept. Much appreciated!"

"Campbell services provided me timely excavation of driveway. His crew were professional and courteous. I was pleased with the time they took in making sure the mess was cleaned to my satisfaction along with taking extra care to preserve the existing landscape. I only wish other companies would adopt that type of work ethic."

"Hector came up with a great solution for some drainage issues at our house. They were quick and efficiently and very cost effective. After they left it looked like they had never been there. Highly recommend."

"Responsive, friendly, punctual, and highly competent. It helped that I was overseeing the work because some decisions and improvisation had to be done on the fly with the repair of a sprinkler valve, installation of and two ball-valve cutoffs, and relocation of an adjacent faucet."

"BEST!! David's company was the best ever for the work performed. We needed synthetic grass, new fence, stone work, irrigation system, drilling, planting and more. As a senior I have had many projects performed by contractors. NEVER, NEVER have we experience the quality, perfection, performance, attention to detail than David. Very attentive and wonderful to communicate with."

They repaired everything as though they were never there. I had a great experience working with Platinum General Engineering & Construction. They handled everything from start to finish without me having to deal with the city or other headaches. I highly recommend them!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

Trenches are typically 12 to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, the required depth depends on the specific project and local ordinances. For example, a French drain may need to be 18 inches deep, while a water pipe might require a depth of 24 inches and a drainage pipe 36 inches. Your city or county may have specific regulations, so it's wise to consult with an excavation professional to determine the correct depth for your project.

There are many ways to cut through roots when digging, especially if your trencher doesn’t seem to be removing the roots. First, use a shovel to expose the roots. Then, use gardening shears to clear out smaller roots or a reciprocating saw to remove larger plant roots. If you plan on keeping the plant, avoid cutting any roots over 2 inches thick.
