I’m a creative, detail-oriented handyman and problem solver who enjoys turning ideas into practical, finished projects. I specialize in landscape projects, improving both indoor and outdoor spaces, excavation, property improvements, building and repair work, junk removal, transport and delivery services of items up to 10,000 lbs, handyman work and general repairs, and more. Clients tell me I have a knack for finding smart, low-cost solutions that make a space look better, function better, and add value without unnecessary expense. Whether it’s hanging pictures and lights, building something from scratch, improving a yard or curb appeal, or figuring out a creative solution to a challenging project, I take pride in doing quality work and paying attention to the details. My goal is to provide dependable, thoughtful service and leave every project looking much better than when I started.

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, an excavation company is the best option for land grading and yard leveling. General landscapers might be able to tackle these projects, but an excavation company will do a better job because they’re used to operating the necessary heavy machinery. Landscapers might opt to do the work manually, which takes much longer and could cost you more in labor fees. Finally, excavation companies will understand local regulations and know when you need permits to legalize the work, while a landscaper might not.

Yes, you can technically make a crawl space liveable, but the only way to do so is by converting it into a basement. While some crawl spaces are big enough to walk through and store large items, they lack appropriate insulation and space to be liveable.

Above ground pools are not buried in the ground. Typically, above ground pools are semi-permanent. One reason they’re more affordable is that you don’t have to dig for an inground pool and pour concrete or another material. However, you can choose to install a semi inground pool, which is a hybrid between the two.

The rules for trenching and excavation include setting up and following safety protocols, learning how to use tools and machines properly, and ensuring there is a safe exit for all workers. Keep heavy equipment and materials away from the edge of the hole or trench. Call the 811 dig line before starting any excavation or trenching project to ensure you don’t hit any electrical or gas lines.
