"I was unsure of what I wanted to do with my front area, but I was sure I needed change. EBP provided me with different ideas and plant choices that they recommended. I could not be happier with the changes that we decided to make! Not only did they go above and beyond with customer service, and friendliness, but they did an amazing job transforming my front area. I am so excited to see my front lawn every time I pull into my driveway."

"Dean was very professional. He came out. He assessed the area. He gave me some ideas of what type of palm tree to replace the one I had, which was totally burnt by the frost we had here in Winter Haven. I found a palm I really liked, and Dean searched high and low to get me this specific one. He was determined to find it to satisfy his customer, which would be me. His crew was extremely clean no mess was left behind. I am very happy with my new palm. I would definitely recommend this company. Thanks again Dean for all your hard work."

"I had an inground pool demolition. Very pleased with work and especially that they left the area clean. Kayla the office manager is super sweet. They were very accommodating when I requested they cut the pool pump out and also dispose of it. I would recommend and I would hire them again."

"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!"

"James was incredible. I needed irrigation ran approximately 200 yards and had no idea where to start. He was able to give me a quote in a day and start working almost immediately. I was so impressed with his communication and how quickly he was able to compete the job. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for excavation services."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The best method for digging a trench depends on the scope of the project. For a short, shallow trench (less than 2 feet deep) in light, soft soil, digging by hand may be sufficient. However, digging by hand is labor-intensive, so consider the effort required. A machine trencher is the better option for longer trenches (over 100 feet), deeper ones, or when dealing with difficult soil conditions, such as rocky or hard ground, or obstructions like tree roots. A machine can save significant time and energy in these situations.

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.

How deep your septic system needs to be into the ground depends on several factors. In extremely cold environments, the tank needs to rest below the maximum frost line, which can be up to six or eight feet deep. The standard burying depth for most systems is between a few inches and four feet below ground level. Depth can also depend on the slope of the landscaping and other property variables. 

Most residential basements are 8 to 10 feet deep. You can dig deeper depending on building codes, but it does become more difficult. You’ll likely need to install stronger foundation walls and additional supports to handle the increased load. Depending on the water table, you may also need a water management system. Clay soil can support a deeper foundation than sandy soil. A structural engineer will be able to tell you the maximum, feasible depth.

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.
