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."

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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.

Excavating questions, answered by experts

You do not have to dig footers for a deck as long as it meets local code and holds up to weather in your area. If you live somewhere that experiences high winds and earthquakes, you may need to dig for your deck posts. Deck blocks, post anchors with base plates, and helical pile systems are the three no-dig deck post options you can choose from if local code permits.

A mini excavator can dig between 5 and 11 feet deep, depending on the type and size of the mini excavator. Mini hydraulic excavators are more powerful and can reach deeper into the earth, but electric models have a more limited range. Mini excavators over two tons in size are also more powerful and able to dig as deep as 11 feet.

We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.

Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.

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.

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.
