"John was very easy to work with and he did a great job. His prices were competitive, he explained what needed to be done, and he corrected conditions that had been a serious problem for a long time. He was prompt and completed the work professionally. I would highly recommend John for drainage work."

"The owner Brad and his crew are wonderful to work with. Communication from initial contact to execution has been excellent. The materials used for the project they've completed in our front yard are of excellent quality. I never knew I'd be so excited about having irrigation >:D!! Their workmanship from beginning to end is superb! I look forward to working/ collaborating on more projects. 10/10 I'd recommend Brewer Landscaping & Irrigation!"

"We had a fence with two gates installed on the perimeter of our 10+ acre property, H&P did a fantastic job. They were extremely professional and had great attention to detail. They were very easy to work with, highly responsive, flexible and accommodating to our ever changing schedule and offered excellent advice. Our fence is beautiful; rock solid and straight as an arrow. Looking forward to our next project together. Highly recommend!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Slab foundations are more affordable than crawl spaces because they require minimal excavation, as the slab sits directly on the ground or on footers that only sink a few feet into the ground. Crawl spaces require excavation of the entire footprint of the home to several feet below the surface. Not only does that mean higher labor costs, but more materials are necessary for the concrete foundation walls.

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even for projects that only involve grading or yard leveling. Permit requirements depend on your local government and the scope of the project, but they are especially common for significant digging or work that could affect utilities or public property. These permits help protect the local topography and prevent drainage issues. An experienced excavation company will typically know whether permits are needed and can often handle the process of pulling and closing them for you. You can also verify permit requirements by contacting your local building department and describing your project.

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.

A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock.

Trenchers can dig holes as narrow as 4 inches or as wide as 4 feet. Check the specifications of the trencher you rent or buy to determine how wide it will cut into the landscape. Better yet, let the excavation company know how wide you’d like the trench to be, and they can help you choose the right trencher for the job (or do it for you).
