"Isaac and his assistant provided excellent service in removing one of our Blue Spruce trees. It was a costly project, but we expected that due to the complexity of the removal process. They arrived on the scheduled date and spent almost seven hours in reducing our tree to a stump, which we will need to camouflage. We decided to remove the tree as it had grown so tall and wide it became too close to our home and that of our neighbor. With heavy winds and threat of lightening storms, it was the right decision for us. The cut branches necessitated two trailerloads to haul away, meaning two trips to the disposal site, and they never complained in the 95+degree weather. The cleanup was very thorough, and we are happy to highly recommend this company to others."

"Noel did a beautiful job on our landscaping project last year. All of our neighbors compliment us on the new look of our front yard. He is very professional and followed up several times to check on everything. He is very easy to work with and listened to what we wanted and followed through. He was very helpful with suggestions to make the project have the best possible outcome. Great experience working with Noel! I highly recommend him."

"German Nevarez and his crew did several jobs for us: a stamped concrete patio, a concrete foundation for a shed, and a parking area which included leveling the ground, bringing in gravel, and building a retaining wall and steps. All work was done in a timely and professional manner. They arrived when they said they would, and they did excellent work. We are very pleased with everything that they did. We will hire them again if we need more work done. They were also very pleasant to work with."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Yes, trenchers can go through gravel. Gravel is made up of smaller, softer rocks that certain trenchers are able to cut through. Just be sure to use a rock wheel trencher or chain trencher, both of which are made to cut through rocky landscapes and gravel pathways without dulling the teeth or chain.

You can bury underground electrical wire six inches deep—but only if you use a rigid metal electrical conduit. For rigid, non-metallic conduits, bury the wire at least 12 inches deep. If using an underground feeder cable rated for direct burial, you'll need to place it at least 18 inches deep, as it has no conduit for extra protection.

Dumpsters work best on hard, study, and level surfaces made of asphalt, stone, or concrete. If the surface is uneven or too soft, the dumpster could get stuck or tip over when filled. Keep in mind that you must obtain a dumpster permit to keep it on a city street in many areas.

Downspouts should be buried at least 5 to 10 feet away from your foundation. This can vary depending on your local building codes, soil type, and property slope. The main goal is to ensure water is directed away from your foundation.

To locate an underground downspout, you should start by identifying where the above ground gutter drains. Look for an entry point, such as a pipe or elbow leading into the ground. Follow the surface path for signs like depressions, landscaping disruptions, or wet areas after rain. You can use a metal detector or plumber’s snake to trace the pipe underground. For deeper pipes, a professional locator tool or camera inspection may be necessary. Visual markers or utility maps can also guide the search.
