"It went extremely well! They were punctual, hardworking and professional. It was necessary to dig up my neighbor's landscaping, so they were very careful to disturb only what was necessary and to restore everything to its original condition. They even replaced her broken underground downspout extension (which was draining into my basement!) without comment or additional charge. When my neighbor accused them of causing a problem, MJ was quick to respond and the team on-site made a point of apologizing to her in person. I don't think MJ caused the problem, so I was very impressed that they "went high" to investigate the matter and, as I said, apologize for the inconvenience she felt she suffered. The work they did inside to remove mold and seal the wall was thorough and neat. The gentleman doing the work cleaned up everything and took all of his equipment and trash with him. his is especially important since he was working with strong chemicals. My contact in the office was prompt to address anything I threw her way. It was easy to make payments online. Best of all - no sign of water in the basement since they were here!!"

"They had to dig out a whole wall out of my basement to stop the leaking. They cleaned the basement wall and they resealed it with the latest technology. They were very friendly and cooperative. They worked hard, and came when they said they would. Everything you would hope a contractor would do that did."

"How Did It go? Saed and his team built us a new garage from the ground up. They handled everything from drawings, permitting, to pouring the slab and framing the garage. They were very responsive to our requests and were very professional. I will definitely recommend them to our friends."

"We are new to the Lewes De. Area. We had a new home built and needed a walk way and courtyard installed. My wife has difficulty walking so having a front walkway installed was a priority. I called 3 landscape/hardscape companies to get quotes and ideas for the job. All three did show up on their scheduled dates. Took measurements, gave suggestions and 2 gave very nice books to choose materials and ideas from. Noland Adams was the only business to get back to us with 3 different options and prices. We never heard anything back from the other two businesses. Since this job was a priority we went with Adams landscape. Wow!! are we glad we did. Noland and Juan did a fantastic job. Price was more than fair considering the amount of work and materials. They stayed on this job from start to finish. No skipping days. They paid attention to details and the finished job came out excellent. Do not hesitate to give Adams Landscaping a call. You won't be disappointed with their work. I guess the other 2 landscapers follow the "Lower, Slower, Delaware " saying. They don't recognize a priority job. Adams Landscaping was prompt,reliable and fair priced."

"Jeremy was always responsive to our calls and listened to what we wanted. While there were some initial delays, he and his team installed a beautiful driveway that exceeded our expectations. Jeremy has a good eye for the design, installing a double boarder and herringbone pattern that is the envy of the neighborhood. He is a really nice guy and we highly recommend him."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The rules for trenching and excavation include setting up and following safety protocols, learning how to use tools and machines properly, and ensuring there is a safe exit for all workers. Keep heavy equipment and materials away from the edge of the hole or trench. Call the 811 dig line before starting any excavation or trenching project to ensure you don’t hit any electrical or gas lines.

The time it takes to build a pool—and dig out the area—varies based on the pool size and type. A professional excavator will take between four and eight hours to dig a pool. The process will take longer if they encounter large boulders or tree roots. Keep in mind that this is a small part of the process in the long run. You will need between eight and 12 weeks to build a pool from start to finish, including the time to apply for permits.

Yes, chipmunk holes may have two or more entrances. Chipmunks can create an entire network of burrows. Having multiple entrances makes it easier for them when trying to escape from a predator, such as a snake, or if an entrance collapses due to flooding. Each entrance leads to the nesting chamber underground, which is where the chipmunk spends the majority of its time sleeping.

The average cost of excavation is approximately $3,200, with typical projects ranging from $500 to $15,000. Depending on the contractor, you may be charged between $50 and $200 per cubic yard or an hourly rate of $40 to $180 for an excavation specialist. The total cost is influenced by several factors, including the project size, the amount of soil to be removed, and the soil's condition. Hard soil, tree roots, or excessive rocks and clay can increase the price, potentially adding $200 to $1,200 to the final bill. Other factors that can drive up costs include the presence of nearby structures that complicate the work or tight spaces that require manual excavation instead of heavy machinery.

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.
