"Excellent customer service and excellent job! London responded quickly with a competitive estimate to remove a large metal shed from my property. The work was scheduled within a few weeks. The job was done carefully and quickly. I was impressed with the efficiency - from start to finish. They took care not to damage the grass with the equipment and thoroughly cleaned up the site."

"My request started off as a simple drywall repair. After speaking with Lisa, we decided to hire them to also paint ceilings and walls in the living room, dining room, kitchen, laundry room, master bedroom, and hall. We also had a couple new ceiling fans we wanted installed, and Mike did a fantastic job with the electrical work. They went above and beyond any expectation we had. In spite of minor setbacks with the home improvement store we were dealing with, Mike and Lisa continued with a positive attitude. They even put up with our three dogs! And Lisa actually chased one of them down when she got out. Their attention to detail is second to none, and their level of communication was the highest. I can't say enough about D'Amico Construction. Not only would I recommend them highly, but my dogs loved them, too. Hire them. You will not be disappointed."

"They called to set up appt. and were very courteous and professional. The day of the service call they emailed and phone to see if we could do it earlier (as we were worried) and they met us to do the inspection. They were thorough and they determined it was not a sewer issue. The service call (reasonable priced) was well worth our peace of mind. They did NOT try to sell us extra services or inspections we didn't need. We'd call them again with an issue in a heartbeat. Highly recommended from a customer service perspective."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

You should dig 3 to 6 inches deep for plastic edging. Dig as wide as you need to fit your plastic edging into it—2 inches is usually sufficient.

After you successfully remove your boulder, you have a few options for what to do to get rid of it. You can rent a dumpster if your yard has many boulders or if you’re planning a larger project. You can even save the boulder and reuse it elsewhere on your property to save on landscaping costs. A few ideas include using the boulder as a natural, abstract statue, breaking it into smaller pieces to line your garden bed, or offering it to a landscaping company that could reuse it for another project.
