"This company has been our "go to" business for all of our plumbing issues for years, and just yesterday (July 16) they replaced 10 feet of our sewer line. The crew was extremely gracious, worked well as a team, and took extra care to not damage our backyard. And when the job was done, they took more time to restore our landscaping so that you can't even tell a backhoe was in our backyard! My wife and I highly recommend this company!"

But with Behold I had a personal direct text from them asking about my situation and all I had to do was give some info send in pictures and voilà! They gave me their quote(2300$) which also beat all the company’s(3k$+) I had heard from! They had a tech out to me ASAP. It almost could’ve been same day but I was in no rush.

"Hugo is exactly the kind of contractor you d want for your job. I manage four separate buildings with 220 units so I ve got a solid foundation on which to grade contractors and Hugo gets a 10 out of 10, HIGHLY RECOMMEND, from me. We re already planning to use him for more jobs. Him and his team of professionals not only fixed the original issue (rotted out post holding up stairs) but also went above and beyond by fixing the railing and because he said it was a quick fix included it in the original bid without increasing our cost. We re currently working to set up a carport and other metal work projects with him and his team. He does great work, cleans up after himself, and gives fair upfront clear pricing and invoicing. Again I can t say enough about this contractor…if they all worked like him my life would be so much easier!!!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Concrete blocks are the cheapest way to base a shed. However, the space in between allows critters to go under, burrow, and even damage your shed’s frame. For a more pest-proof option, consider building a shed base with gravel or paver stones. Both options are fairly affordable and easy enough for a DIY project. For gravel, you can build a wooden frame to contain the loose material.

Because decomposed granite is a durable material, a crushed rock or gravel base is optional as long as the DG is properly installed and compacted. However, installing a base is a good idea because it will ensure proper drainage and stability and act as a weed suppressant (although you may still occasionally have to pull weeds). Installing an adequate base can also increase the durability of driveways and walkways. If you forego the paver base or gravel underneath, line the area with landscaping fabric to avoid weeds.

Yes, most services include site leveling and foundation work. Confirm with your contractor for specifics.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.
