"Andi is the only mason who will ever work on my house. My house is the gray cape in several photos of his websites . He tackled a very steep incline and built magnificent tiered walls, blue stone steps and walkways, and the patio around my pool. He has also built retaining walls, several walk ways and patios for my home. He recently put up stone veneer on my chimney. Andi is a friend, and truly a man of his word. Andi has vision and he always makes time to talk with you about not just what you want, but what you may need, without ever going over the desired budget. If you want quality work, done on time and on budget he is your guy. His crew is as respectful as he is and I cannot express how happy I found him."

"Gianni & Sons, Inc. was dependable, on time, and completed the job when they said they would. They were professional in all aspects of the job. I am completely satisfied with the deck resurface and would highly recommend this company. I should add that in the past they have done the roof and siding on my house and when I needed the deck repaired I called them first because my past experience with them has been so positive."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

While you can save some money by digging your own pool, you may end up paying more in construction equipment rental fees in the long run. You could, however, focus your DIY energies on lowering the cost of leveling your lawn for your pool or filling in surrounding landscaping after construction.

The best method for digging a trench depends on the scope of the project. For a short, shallow trench (less than 2 feet deep) in light, soft soil, digging by hand may be sufficient. However, digging by hand is labor-intensive, so consider the effort required. A machine trencher is the better option for longer trenches (over 100 feet), deeper ones, or when dealing with difficult soil conditions, such as rocky or hard ground, or obstructions like tree roots. A machine can save significant time and energy in these situations.

Underground downspouts refer to the sections of downspout extensions that lead away from your home and gutter system. While they cost more than traditional extensions, they can provide several benefits, such as less frequent damage and no need to move them for lawn care tasks. Whether they're worth it or not depends on your budget at installation time and how much convenience they'll add to your situation.

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.

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.
