Q: Should I hire an excavation company for land grading or yard leveling?

• <div><p>Yes, an excavation company is the best option for land grading and yard leveling. General landscapers might be able to tackle these projects, but an excavation company will do a better job because they&rsquo;re used to operating the necessary heavy machinery. Landscapers might opt to do the work manually, which takes much longer and could cost you more in labor fees. Finally, excavation companies will understand local regulations and know when you need permits to legalize the work, while a landscaper might not.</p></div>

Q: Should I use sand or dirt to level my pool?

• <div><p>It depends on the model of your pool. You&rsquo;ll always have to level the topsoil, but most vinyl-lined pools require an additional 1- to 2-inch layer of sand to protect the liner. This way, when a foot kicks down to the bottom of your pool, it&rsquo;s not scraping the liner against the hard ground. If your pool isn&rsquo;t vinyl-lined, you can skip this step or add a layer of another base material, like <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-decomposed-granite.htm">decomposed granite</a>. Always check your manufacturer&rsquo;s instructions before you begin.</p></div>

Q: How do you landscape a steep slope on a budget?

• <div><p>Many ways to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tips-landscaping-your-lawn-budget.htm">landscape a steep slope on a budget</a> exist. Avoiding expensive retaining wall construction is the first step. Consider creating a rocky slope with boulders or large stones, or think about planting perennials that return every year with a single investment. Transplanting small trees from elsewhere on your property is also possible and can help to stabilize steep slopes without purchasing new ones. </p></div>

Q: Do landscapers put in French drains?

• <div><p>Yes, most landscapers should be able to install French drains. However, it&rsquo;s best to hire a French drain installation company that specializes in this type of project. You may want to get multiple quotes from landscaping companies to get an idea of the average installation cost before hiring a professional to install a French drain system for you.</p></div>

Q: How deep do you dig for plastic edging?

• <div><p>You should dig 3 to 6 inches deep for plastic edging. Dig as wide as you need to fit your plastic edging into it&mdash;2 inches is usually sufficient. </p></div>

I was very nervous going into this move, and Adonis Moving and Storage took so much of that stress off my shoulders. They were friendly and helpful, but more importantly, timely and accurate to their estimate - which was half of their competitors. I cannot recommend them enough. Thanks again...

It went ok. Workers were professional and pleasant when performing work. Not always on time as scheduled. Deck maintenance was high quality. Other exterior work appears to be good. Exterior pressuring washing was well done. Expensive.
