"This family owed business knocked it out of the park! I needed some serious cleanup on my property; tree trimming, tree removal, and more. Got a great quote, fast scheduling, and a beautiful finish. All of the workers I met were so friendly and happy to be on site. Will use again and recommend to friends and family over and over again. Thanks for taking care of us A.P.

"I cannot recommend this landscaping team highly enough! From the very first call, Larry (the owner) was incredibly quick to respond. I was blown away when he had a professional proposal ready for me within just a couple of hours. What really set them apart was the extra effort—Larry went above and beyond by preparing a detailed presentation specifically for my HOA approval, which made that process completely stress-free. The crew arrived as scheduled, worked efficiently, and finished the entire project exactly on time. Their professionalism is top-notch. If you want a reliable company that delivers exceptional quality and cares about the details, look no further."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

While general contractors sometimes handle demolition, you can also look specifically for local demolition contractors. Demolition experts need to understand structural integrity, the equipment needed for safe demolition, and the permits required for demolition.

Depending on the severity of the freeze and the method used, thawing frozen underground pipes can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours. Applying heat directly to the pipe using heat tape, infrared lamps, or hot water jetting can speed up the process. However, patience and careful monitoring are key to avoiding pipe damage.

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.

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.

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.
