"We received educated options a quote for saving 3 aged trees & best care to trim, maintain extensive, older hedges. A team of 6/7 was dispatched to thoroughly complete all promised + additional services in lawn care. Not an inch left "unturned". Surprise was a custom wooden arch created on site to support a large weakened branch! A sweet entrance walkway touch. All completed in one long, very high temp day, and no complaints from work team, nor us. Highly recommend, owners Bill & Lynn, Team lead, Jason, and all the supporting cast, know their business well!"

"We first spotted Braley and Finnegan when they were doing work in our neighborhood. We liked what we saw so we gave them a call. Patrick came out soon after and gave us a quote on replacing crushed stone under our decks and fixing a short set of stone steps that were coming apart. The crew was on time, professional and quick. They found the stone we were looking for and installed it with a nice edging. Griffin had our stone steps fixed and secure and the whole job came in just under quote. We're very happy with the result. Weâ ll definitely call Braley and Finnegan again for our next landscaping project."

"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 FAQs, answered by experts

Most residential basements are 8 to 10 feet deep. You can dig deeper depending on building codes, but it does become more difficult. You’ll likely need to install stronger foundation walls and additional supports to handle the increased load. Depending on the water table, you may also need a water management system. Clay soil can support a deeper foundation than sandy soil. A structural engineer will be able to tell you the maximum, feasible depth.

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.

Depth is not a qualifying component of evacuation. Any human-made cut, cavity, or depression in the earth’s surface is considered excavation. The hole from excavation can be any size, shape, or depth. Excavation is used to create foundations, reservoirs, drainage ditches, and roads. Long, narrow excavations are called trenches and are often used for underground utilities.

Digging a bush up by the roots is the most natural DIY method for removing a bush stump. Start by identifying the shrub type and revealing its roots. Cut the shrub to its base and loosen the soil, ensuring no utility lines are nearby. Optionally, treat the base with herbicide, then dig around the roots and cut a circle around the shrub using various tools. Dig a trench, cut the base of the root ball, and finally fill the hole to prevent regrowth. This thorough process ensures complete removal without damaging surrounding areas.

Yes, most services include site leveling and foundation work. Confirm with your contractor for specifics.
