Customers say: True professional

"They did a fantastic job for me. After speaking with them they came right out. Power washed, repaired, painted and sealed driveway and walk-ways. Power washed entire home, repaired and secured roof, painted shutters and trim around steps and doors. Trimmed the overgrown palm tree. Very professional and personable and great to work with. Received lots of compliments and would highly recommend them. Great job and many thanks."

"The landscaping in my yard got really messy, overgrown and out of control. I hired TrueVine to trim and clean it all up. They did an awesome job. I'm very pleased with the outcome. You can tell they take pride in their work. Good people too. I highly recommend them."

"CFEB did a great job on our new roof. Isaiah guided us through the process with helpful advice and was very responsive in answering questions and giving updates. CFEB was able to work within our deadline and the job was finished on schedule. I would highly recommend CFEB and especially Isaiah and his team."

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I was looking for a landscaping company to replace some dead palms, and Hackford Landscaping came highly recommended-and now I completely understand why. Branden texted me back right away and showed up the very next day exactly as promised. From the start, he demonstrated real knowledge and professionalism. As we walked through the project, he not only understood what I needed but also offered thoughtful ideas to enhance my garden that I hadn’t even considered. His crew arrived on schedule, and every single person was professional, kind, and courteous. You could genuinely see the pride they take in their work - they went above and beyond to make sure everything was done right. Branden and his team are truly exceptional local landscapers. I was so impressed that I’ve already hired them again for another project. Highly recommend!"

"I don't as a rule post to review sites as there maybe extenuating circumstances as to why something may have happened. But in this case I am so happy with East Coast Land I want to let you know that this is a great company. Simply put, the do what they say they are going to do. Without any intervention from me. I am so impressed with the response and work ethic. They went far beyond what I had expected. I had to do nothing. They did it all. I will tell you honestly that this company is the gold standard that other contractors should aspire to be. I will not hesitate to use them again for any work that they can do for me."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

You can dig 60 to 80 linear feet by hand per day depending on the depth. Digging a 100-foot trench by hand will take you two work days, but it can take longer if you have heavy or rocky soil. If you’re digging a deep trench or one that’s over 100 feet, consider renting a mechanical trencher, such as a walk-behind or ride-on, or calling a pro for help. 

Some two-in-one tools and machines do both jobs, and those could be the right solution for smaller residential projects. However, the phrase “use the right tool for the job” definitely applies to digging. For the best results, get two separate tools for your trenching and landscape edging projects or call a pro to take care of everything for you.

Yes. A metal detector is one of the quickest and easiest ways to find your septic tank. However, metal detectors can be too expensive (costing upward of $300 in some cases), and not everyone has a metal detector just lying around. If that’s the case for you, you can also take a long metal rod and poke it into the ground at regular intervals until you hit something—likely your septic tank lid.

Depending on the severity of the freeze and the method used, thawing frozen underground pipes can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours. Applying heat directly to the pipe using heat tape, infrared lamps, or hot water jetting can speed up the process. However, patience and careful monitoring are key to avoiding pipe damage.

Most states do not require excavation companies to hold specific licenses, but many require at least a contractor’s license. Additionally, heavy equipment operators require a special commercial equipment license to operate machinery required for excavation. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to confirm that an excavation company you’re considering hiring is fully licensed. You should also make sure that the excavation team is fully insured before allowing them to work on your property.
