"The 4-man team arrived on time and went to work! The tree was very awkward to reach and so a crane was used. Each man was skilled & professional. I was truly impressed — a thorough and safe job — a major effort, really well done -- in about 4 hours. I highly recommend Brandywine Tree & Shrub."

"Martin Alvarez installed a beautiful paver patio at my home. From start to finish, he was professional, responsive and did a GREAT job! Martin provided a written price quote, explained the process, showed me examples of his work and completed the project before the expected date of completion. His team was polite, prompt and cleaned up! I truly cannot say enough good things!! I will be calling Martin for future projects!!"

"Had this company clean/inspect our wood burning stove when we bought our house a year ago. After the huge wind storm the cap for the chimney fell off. Called around 11am to get it repairs… Chris had his crew around our area was literally there in less than 20 minutes and everything was fixed! Awesome company. Will be using them for everything."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

No, you typically cannot use metal detectors to find your sewer line. Most sewer lines are made of non-metallic materials such as PVC, clay, or cast iron, which are not detectable by standard metal detectors. Metal detectors are designed to locate metallic objects, so they won't be effective for identifying the path of a non-metallic sewer line. To locate your sewer line accurately, it's best to use other methods.

Errors in site preparation can lead to structural failures or appear costly midway. Professionals ensure detailed, reliable home base development layouts.

Most professional excavation teams will charge between $8 and $15 per cubic yard. Calculate the cost by finding the volume of your pool—width x length x depth—and dividing it by 27. Then, multiply the price by the cubic yards from your equation. Budget for complications like a rocky lawn, hard-to-access pool area, or high local labor prices.

Preparation involves site assessment, clearing debris, grading surfaces, and compacting soil to support stable construction.

The rules and regulations regarding groundwater use vary between states. To find out if you can dig a well on your property, you’ll have to consult these regulations, address any compliance requirements, and get the appropriate permits. It’s also important to check that your intended location has the right geology and water table to support a well.
