"Andi and his crew transformed my motherâ s front walk in about three days time. What a beautiful job going from sunken bricks to beautiful grey pavers with contrasting border. The crew was on time every day, Andi reviewed the measurements and contract And work completed without any problems. Actually had Andi measure for project for 2021, because we were so happy with the results!!"

"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."

"Matt Hazelwood was very prompt in returning my call & he came to my house immediately to asses our situation. He was very honest & polite. I had a family member who could do the work, that is why I didn't hire him. however if I didn't have a family member, I definitely would have hired Matt Hazelwood. He would have done a completely thorough job."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.

Professional installers often include a deep layer of crushed gravel under permeable pavers to allow more runoff to soak through into the soil below. Many installations will include multiple layers of gravel, with coarser aggregate at the base and finer aggregate that sits on top of that bottom layer. Above the gravel, you’ll often find coarse sand that helps reduce paver shifting over time. Some permeable paver designs include a water collection system set into the gravel layer to route runoff to a safe area for disposal.

Trenchers can dig holes as narrow as 4 inches or as wide as 4 feet. Check the specifications of the trencher you rent or buy to determine how wide it will cut into the landscape. Better yet, let the excavation company know how wide you’d like the trench to be, and they can help you choose the right trencher for the job (or do it for you).

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.

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.
