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!"

"Andi and his crew transformed my motherâ s front walk in about three days time. What a beautiful job going from sunken bricks to beautiful grey pavers with contrasting border. The crew was on time every day, Andi reviewed the measurements and contract And work completed without any problems. Actually had Andi measure for project for 2021, because we were so happy with the results!!"

"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."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Trenchers can dig holes as narrow as 4 inches or as wide as 4 feet. Check the specifications of the trencher you rent or buy to determine how wide it will cut into the landscape. Better yet, let the excavation company know how wide you’d like the trench to be, and they can help you choose the right trencher for the job (or do it for you).

If you have a broken sprinkler pipe underground, there will be some signs you can easily spot to locate it and take action. These include leaks, water spouts, flooding, consistently damp areas on your lawn, low water pressure, and grass around the sprinkler head that’s taller and darker than anywhere else in the yard. 

If there are no obvious signs of a broken pipe, you can use tools such as water leak mics, leak noise loggers, audio devices that record leaks, and acoustic testing links. 

Broken pipes can lead to uneven watering, plant damage, and higher utility bills. The longer you wait to fix them the more the repair cost may be.

Water lines are buried at various depths, depending on the type of line. For example, most sprinkler lines are buried between four and 12 inches underground. On the other hand, water mains usually sit between one and 3 feet below ground. However, they can go even deeper in cold climates to prevent freezing.

Because decomposed granite is a durable material, a crushed rock or gravel base is optional as long as the DG is properly installed and compacted. However, installing a base is a good idea because it will ensure proper drainage and stability and act as a weed suppressant (although you may still occasionally have to pull weeds). Installing an adequate base can also increase the durability of driveways and walkways. If you forego the paver base or gravel underneath, line the area with landscaping fabric to avoid weeds.

A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock.
