The work was done expertly and quickly. The hole was filled and grass sowed in. The completely report was delivered by email within 48 hrs as promised. The invoice was in agreement with quote. Excellent work and pleasant crew. I recommend very highly."

"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."

"I have used Di Scala General Contractors for many different projects over the years - interior painting, finishing a basement, building a deck, mowing, plowing and most recently a living room renovation. This family room renovation involved tearing out wood paneling, installing drywall, rerouting radiators and building built-in bookcases. The crews are always diligent, careful, clean and polite. I highly recommend Di Scala General Contracting."

"I found David on Angie list and he got back to me immediately. I explained what I needed done and I had an estimate within3 hours. He is very affordable and was able to come the following week. They arrived on time. Very efficient, made sure everything was cleaned up before they left. I will be hiring him again for another project that I will be doing. Definitely hire him, you won't regretting it. You can see in the pictures what a great job he did. Thank you again David"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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

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.

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.

You should dig 3 to 6 inches deep for plastic edging. Dig as wide as you need to fit your plastic edging into it—2 inches is usually sufficient.

In the United States, a depth of 36 inches (three feet) for underground water lines is the accepted industry standard. This depth varies from location to location based on local conditions. In areas with colder winters, they may be buried deeper to prevent frozen well water pipes : This is usually at least six inches below the frost level. The International Plumbing Code calls for a minimum of 12 inches below grade.
