"Isaac & his crew were very professional. Arrived right on time and removed a 50 foot cottonwood in just over an hour. They made sure the yard was cleaned up, even beyond my expectations. I would certainly recommend them to anyone needing landscape work and or tree removal. I am also having them come back later this fall to remove the stump and clean up roots that have surfaced in the yard. Thanks Isaac for a great job done!! :)"

"Nathan was great to work with designing and completing this project. His team worked hard and I was so pleased with the result. The work included adding pavers around an existing concrete pad to make it bigger and a new walkway, completely redoing the old irrigation system, putting in a pea gravel patio and redoing the grass and adding mulch to reduce water usage. The project also included new flowers and decorative grasses."

"This contractor showed up and did the work when they said they would. Their work was thorough and I was pleased with the end product so much so that I asked them for additional estimates for other concrete work I had in mind. When they gave me the estimate for these other concrete work, they requested an additional $3,000 above their estimate to cover losses on the original job. They requested this without any sort of backup that itemized their losses. In the course of performing the original work that I hired them to do, they never mentioned that they under bid the job and was losing money. If they had, I might've been open to some sort of negotiations. Instead they decided to just arbitrarily add it on the next project without any sort of justifications. Based on this, I cannot recommend this contractor even though I was satisfied with their work."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

You do not have to dig footers for a deck as long as it meets local code and holds up to weather in your area. If you live somewhere that experiences high winds and earthquakes, you may need to dig for your deck posts. Deck blocks, post anchors with base plates, and helical pile systems are the three no-dig deck post options you can choose from if local code permits.

The best method for digging a trench depends on the scope of the project. For a short, shallow trench (less than 2 feet deep) in light, soft soil, digging by hand may be sufficient. However, digging by hand is labor-intensive, so consider the effort required. A machine trencher is the better option for longer trenches (over 100 feet), deeper ones, or when dealing with difficult soil conditions, such as rocky or hard ground, or obstructions like tree roots. A machine can save significant time and energy in these situations.

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.

Completion time ranges from days to weeks, contingent on project size, environmental conditions, and regulatory approvals.

You should dig 3 to 6 inches deep for plastic edging. Dig as wide as you need to fit your plastic edging into it—2 inches is usually sufficient.
