"Dawn came the same day to assess my needs. I had an appointment very quickly and had my pressure washing and porch cleaning done in a very timely and efficient manner. I will definitely use COPPS again for future projects. I am already putting together my next project. You cannot go wrong with the fair pricing and the promptness of this company. I highly recommend them!!!"

"My kitchen remodel was a total gut job with slight appliance relocations. Ricky and Chad were present everyday from start to finish and this was a very large project. They specialize in perfection and take pride in the outcome. I will hire them for any future home projects. Awesome business and team."

"This was a full backyard makeover. Chris tore out an old, overgrown garden bed, including the bricks and a spiky little lemon tree. He fixed some old pavers that were caving in around our pool overflow drain, dug out old sod and weeds and cleared out miscellaneous yard debris. He took great care to make sure the yard was level and graded properly for drainage before laying weed barrier and gravel ahead of the artificial turf to finish the project. And now our yard is beautiful and usable again! We love it! Chris was very professional and communicated expectations. The work was done on time and is exactly what we wanted."

"Highly recommended!! Jeremy & Tamie are amazing! The previous lawn care company I used for years failed to show up to my rental property for months while they charged me monthly for the services. I finally found out right before I moved into the property that my yard turned into the jungle. As soon as I started searching for a new company, I got a phone call from Jeremy. From the moment he called me I could feel how passionate he is about what he does. He immediately asked me if we can meet up at the property that same day for an estimate. Jeremy and Tamie were right on time! Very professional! Their attitude and their professionalism was amazing! I immediately knew I’m going to hire them for all of my needs in the future. I got a quote the same night and they were here on site for their new job in no time! They are both very hard workers and they did an amazing job! They made me love my own yard again! Thank you Jeremy & Tamie! I will most certainly recommend them to all of my friends and family!"

"GREAT EXPERIENCE! I was in a bind, former tree trimmer left me hanging and only cut 2 of 3 palms I needed trimming. I saw Raul during a bike ride and asked if he would be willing to come by and trim up one palm. He saved the day! Came by as promised, very professional and affordable. Highly recommend!!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The digging depth will depend on the size of the trencher you use. Even smaller units can dig up to 4 feet deep, which is plenty for a DIY job. However, much larger trenchers can reach a depth of 18 feet and are better used by a team of pro contractors, not a single DIYer. As with all home improvement projects, use the right tool for the job and proceed with caution.

Yes, most services include site leveling and foundation work. Confirm with your contractor for specifics.

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.

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.

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.
