"Eric came to us highly recommended. We discussed the project and he was able to get us on the schedule fairly quick. As the project progressed, he had an idea for drainage issues we had. We agreed to have him move forward with it. The drainage issue is resolved along with the original work of removing several tons of rock and regrading for water drainage and natural plant growth on our land. Eric was always friendly, easy to discuss our problems with, and had great solutions. We had landscapers quote us up to 2 weeks to finish this work and Eric completed it in 4 days with excellent quality."

"Rich Che and the CNS Empire Landscape crew did fabulous improvements on our family home in Wheat Ridge. They corrected drainage on three sides of an addition so water flows away from the house instead of into the crawlspace; replaced 30 feet of exit pipe from the perimeter drain around the foundation of the addition; installed new sod; and removed weeds from landscaped rock areas in the front yard. The improvements look great. Shortly afterwards, I engaged an inspector to check the foundation. The inspector said he visits about 400 houses each year, and this drainage remediation is among the best he’s seen."

"This project with Rito of C & R Field Services could not have gone better, and I am 100% satisfied. Rito was very communicative from beginning to end, sharing with me his timing, costs, and process along the way. He worked long days, including in a snow storm, until the project was done. When I needed a tall gate panel that didn't exist in that form, he improvised by finding what I wanted and welding on the spot the necessary hinges to make it work, which it does perfectly. Impressive! The craftsmanship of the fence is impeccable, something that looks great and I am proud to have on my property. Rito also provided excavation work for me, as well as demo of a dog run and big tree house, taking everything to the dump for me after. He went the extra mile with everything he did, providing kindness and professionalism at every step. I fully plan to utilize Rito's expertise and services for any project I possibly can. He and his work are quality all the way around."

"Impeccable service and attention to detail! Very mindful of a homeowner's time and scheduling! A+. I was given different options on design. Both elaborate and the basic plans. I chose somewhere more towards the elaborate end because it was unique and I could see it would be sustainable with regular care. If you just had your home built and need a landscape design and plan, I highly recommend them If you're a homeowner that just wants some work done or a remodel. I would say the same! It is refreshing for someone to do the work that you were expected to be done and do it with attention to detail quality and professionalism. I have something that I do when I conduct business with a company. I ask myself, Would I work for this company? Would I want my children or a close friend to work for them ? Yes in all cases!

Excavating questions, answered by experts

No, fire blight does not survive free in the soil but instead is carried through insects, animals, rain, or wind during the spring. Keep in mind that it can also spread on tools, which is why you should always disinfect them in between cuts.

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even for projects that only involve grading or yard leveling. Permit requirements depend on your local government and the scope of the project, but they are especially common for significant digging or work that could affect utilities or public property. These permits help protect the local topography and prevent drainage issues. An experienced excavation company will typically know whether permits are needed and can often handle the process of pulling and closing them for you. You can also verify permit requirements by contacting your local building department and describing your project.

How deep your septic system needs to be into the ground depends on several factors. In extremely cold environments, the tank needs to rest below the maximum frost line, which can be up to six or eight feet deep. The standard burying depth for most systems is between a few inches and four feet below ground level. Depth can also depend on the slope of the landscaping and other property variables. 

Yes, professional installations include trenching or borehole drilling required for ground loops.

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.
