We are a full service Excavation and Trucking Company with 30+ years of experience. Specializing in Complete Septic System Installation and Repair. New or Failing System we perform perk and have Design Engineers we work with your particular project. Demolition of any Building and removal of debris. We do not perform septic pump outs.

"Addendum to my last review: When the septic pump failed, we discovered how many corners were cut. Instead of a septic pump, a sump pump (for rainwater) was installed with the 1½ inch pipe joined to a 2 inch pipe to make it look like it was supposed to. There was no coupler on the pipe leading to the distribution box, necessitating cutting the pipe to get the sump pump out. No check valve. Do NOT use this guy."

"I think this contractor signed up on Angie's List in April, 2018. I received a quote from him in May and he started mowing my lawn shortly thereafter. He wasn't the cheapest but he was responsive and for the first month and a half, he showed up every week. After he mowed my lawn a few times, he asked me to write a review, which I did. I have since asked Angie's List to take it down. In July, he became very unreliable. I have a small yard and I think he ended up with enough new business, that he decided he really didn't need my business anymore. He would promise to show up on a certain day and didn't. I had to keep e-mailing him to see when he would be cutting my lawn. The last e-mail I sent him, he responded that he was behind because of all the rain we had. (He promised to show up on a certain day and never showed up or e-mailed me back) He was already barely cutting my lawn every two weeks and with the heavy rain, my lawn was really long. I never heard from him again. I paid the two invoices he sent me as requested and on time. I am a senior citizen on a fixed income and he left me in a bind when I had to pay double just to get my lawn length back to normal. I think he was very unprofessional in how he handled himself. I think he should have made it right and cut my lawn, even if said he wouldn't do it after that. I will never recommend him to anyone."

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

It depends. High-end colored mulch can be fairly costly. However, you'll have to replace less-expensive natural mulches, like pine needles and cedar mulch, more frequently. 

The cost is balanced out somewhat, though, as although you'll have to replace colored mulch less often, you'll have to replenish nutrients in your soil more frequently to make up for the decrease in organic matter and nitrogen from the mulch.

Using sand under stepping stones can be beneficial in certain situations. Sand can help level the ground and provide stability for the stepping stones, especially if the ground is uneven. It also allows for minor adjustments during the installation process. However, sand may not be the best choice for all environments. In areas with high foot traffic or heavy rain, sand may wash away or become displaced, leading to an uneven surface. In such cases, a more stable base material like gravel or crushed stone is preferable. Consider your specific landscape conditions before deciding whether to use sand under stepping stones.

Before you put down grass seed, you should cultivate your soil or add two inches of topsoil. You should also put down fertilizer at the same time as your seed to prompt healthy growth. Be sure to water after you put down grass seed, especially for the first two weeks.

You can fill the holes weeds leave behind with soil or sand to avoid unsightly spots or tripping hazards. If you remove weeds from a grassy area, fill the hole with soil and grass seed, and water regularly to promote grass growth.

If a big freeze catches you by surprise and you don’t have any deicer to hand, you can reduce the chance of taking a tumble by laying gritty, anti-slip materials. Some natural, readily-available options that don’t melt ice but offer traction underfoot include sand, wood shavings, kitty litter, and fireplace ash.
