"Got a reasonable quote from David to remove an above ground pool, which was taken out efficiently in the morning, and then decided to have them remove a pool deck on short notice the following day. Kathy handled the arrangements nicely."

"I hired Barletta Excavation to do some outdoor drainage work around my pool deck. Alex the owner came out to my house and was very friendly and easy to work with. He was able to get the job done quickly and he communicated with me throughout the entire process to let me know what was going on. I would highly recommend Barletta Excavation!"

"I am writing this review to acknowledge the power of Angie?s
list as well as to express my satisfaction with the work done by M & M
Construction at my home in Hartford.  We
have a 100 year old house which one rainy day flooded in the basement ? the first
time this had happened in the 15 years we have owned the house.  The flooding was not rainwater, it was backed
up sewage!!!  We had a local plumber,
suggested by friends, check it out as an emergency and after hours and hours of
expensive manipulation managed to cause the backed up sewage to drain and
identified that a main sewage line had partially separated.  The problem was however not solved and with
the next rainstorm flooding repeated in the basement as well as through the
kitchen sink, which caused the entire hardwood floor to buckle.  A repeat visit by the same plumber claimed
that this was an entirely new problem! 
Repeated calls to have this and another plumbing services to address the
problem were futile. 
Searching Angie?s list for service providers to replace the
sewer line led us to M & M Construction. 
On line reviews of them were very favorable, but we did not know anyone
for whom they had done any work.  We got
in touch with Anthony (Principal with the company) and he immediately came out to examine the site and provided
us with an estimate and work proposal. 
We took a chance on the fact that reviews of Anthony?s were a reflection
of what to expect.  He promptly began the
work as proposed.  Searches at the MDC for
layouts of the sewage line turned up negative. 
The only record on file was the point at which the house connects to the
city sewage system.  They began work from
the property edge and found a drain line. 
Went through the entire process of replacing the line but when tested
the problem had not been solved!  So
Anthony and his crew after putting a camera down, identified the brake point of
the sewage line and it turned out that the house has two lines that tie into
the a single line under the sidewalk.  So
they re-dug, found the second line and replaced it at no additional cost to
us!  It was a lot of work, and during
this process Anthony kept us fully informed. 
During this ongoing work, our trust in Anthony grew, and
knowing that we needed a new roof, we asked Anthony if he knew anyone who could
redo the roof.  To our surprise, he
collaborates with a roofer on roof work. 
We visited sites where they were replacing a roof and had good opinions
of their work from the homeowner.  We
contracted Anthony to redo the roof!  The
roofers did a very good job and we are very happy with the work.
As we also needed a new driveway due to flooding in the rear
of the house, and knowing that Anthony had the heavy equipment necessary for
excavation work, we engaged him on another project to redo the driveway and
redesign the parking area behind the house. 
Working with him we designed a permeable paver parking area, with
permeable pavers lining the driveway. 
The layout of the pavers and the driveway was completed before the
winter snows and now what is left is touch ups to complete the project and grow
grass in the permeable pavers.  Heavy
rains in the Fall that would normally have resulted in major flooding in the
rear of the house are a thing of the past! 
The snow melts that have recently occurred resulted in no flooding giving
us confidence of a job well done. 
Planting grass where the work was done and other minor touchups still
remain for the spring which we are fully confident will be completed. 
Anthony is trustworthy, a perfectionist in his work, and
very responsive to questions we raised during all aspects of the work he has
done at our home.  I have told Anthony
that he is welcome to bring any client to see the work he has done for us at
any time. 
Thank you Anthony.

Excavating questions, answered by experts

No, fire blight does not survive free in the soil but instead is carried through insects, animals, rain, or wind during the spring. Keep in mind that it can also spread on tools, which is why you should always disinfect them in between cuts.

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.

Landscape edging is more DIYable than trenching. You can DIY your own digging projects, but proceed carefully and only with proper knowledge of the equipment and appropriate safety measures in place. Keep in mind the project's scope and estimate how long it will take you to do it on your own. While you can certainly save money by DIYing home improvement projects, you can’t exactly hide an unfinished—or worse, ruined— landscaping job from the neighbors. It’s always safer to call an excavation pro near you to get an estimate.

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.

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.
