"We had a shed pad installed for our new shed. Bob really worked to make sure we understood the different types of pads we could get as well as the ground leveling process. He was the only contractor we talked to that put the pad in the ground (excavating some dirt) so that it didn't just sit on top. As an added bonus, he swiped away a patch of really thick ivy that we've been struggling with. When scheduling the pad, he did delay the installation due to weather issues, showing real concern that if we didn't delay at least a day, the installation would be less than the professional level he likes to leave with. I left for the morning to go to work and when I came home, the pad was ready for a shed. Bob shows a concern for his homeowner's well being in all matters and is very knowledgable. I fully recomend him to anyone seeking a similar install, and will consider Rock-a-fella's when ever I have a gravelly/patio/deck need in the future. "

"Some years ago, we had the drain pipe replaced that drains the back yard into a pipe in the basement, which then connects to the drain pipe to the city stormwater/sewer system. Ever since, water has come in directly around the pipe during heavy or persistent, soaking rain. Plumbers had confirmed there was no leak in the pipes, and concrete contractors had stated that the concrete in the back yard and basement looked good. Rightway proposed to excavate the concrete back yard around the drain pipe, seal the area around the pipe with hydraulic cement with tar and plastic coatings, backfill, and replace the concrete yard surface. All of this was done within a day, working in tight quarters. The crew was friendly and courteous. They had to buy extra cement to fill areas that had washed away under the pipe. The finished concrete looks nice. Then we waited for the rain. A heavy rain fell about a month later, and unfortunately the repair did not solve the problem. Rightway returned to investigate, and we were all mystified. It was unclear whether further repairs to the wall, beyond rebuilding, would have fixed the problem. Rightway offered, under its warranty, to install a drain and sump pump in this corner of the basement floor to catch and dispose of the water that enters the basement at this location. Again, all work was done in less than a day, working in tight quarters in the basement, working around the hot water heater, appliances, and electrical meter and ground. This new crew was again courteous, and hung plastic to keep concrete dust from wafting up the stairs when they broke up the basement floor. While it doesn't stop the water from coming in, it no longer floods the back of my basement. All storms since have been well contained in the sump pit, and the basement remains dry. All Rightway employees, from salesman to crew to office staff, were courteous, responsive, and answered my many questions with patience. "

"It went well. When the excavator was working, I didn't really understand when he asked if we wanted to "feather" the uneven ground around the pool- so now we have a lot of ground without the grass that was there because the feathering was put over top of the grass - killing it. Overall, I would recommend C&D's. They were very responsive every step."
Downspouts should be buried at least 5 to 10 feet away from your foundation. This can vary depending on your local building codes, soil type, and property slope. The main goal is to ensure water is directed away from your foundation.
Hardscaping often requires preparation of the ground in the area where the feature is being installed. This can include digging, compacting, and leveling the soil, ensuring adequate drainage, and removing any existing plants. The extent of preparation needed will depend on the type and size of the hardscaping feature being installed.
Excavations take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time it takes to excavate an area depends on the size of the area, the type of soil, the type of excavator, and even the time of year, since winter can make digging up the ground more difficult.
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.
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.
