Customers say: Quality work

"Don is great! Gave me a great price on the removal of 2 stumps. One was done right away with topsoil added and smoothed out . The other is pending further discussion of other site work on the property. He communicated with me every step of the way. Very happy with his work, so much so, that I am having him give me estimates of a few other projects. Glad to have found such a reasonable and responsible young man to help me with my creative landscaping issues!"

"Vinny is a very friendly and professional guy who we really enjoyed working with. The quality of his work is excellent- we used him for our sidewalk and refurbishing the rod iron railings. Overall positive experience with him and the final project turned out great! We would definitely recommend him and will be using his services again in future projects."

"Tom did a great job with the front of my house. I’m happy he knocked on my door and gave me a quote for the work done. All the patches are now filled, and the walls and steps look much nicer now. I highly recommend him for any masonry work done."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

Digging a well can cost between $20 and $25,000, depending on your needs. If you’re looking to dig a well yourself, all you need is a shovel. If you’re looking to have a well drilled by a professional, you can expect to pay around $15 to $30 per foot. The total cost of drilling a well will average to $5,500.

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.

It can take several weeks for the ground to settle after removing a tree, and the soil under larger, more mature trees can take months. The deeper the tree has been ground under the soil, the longer it will take to settle. However, this extra depth can help you plant new landscaping sooner because you’ll have more space for fresh soil.

Consultation with the local government helps identify necessary permits, avoid project delays or legal issues, and protect project integrity.
