"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."

"I hired A Little Finesse Landscape & Design to update my front lawn. Joab Allen and staff did a very professional job of removing the old bushes & designing and planting new flowers , upgrading the sprinkler system, & placing white decorative stone around the shrubs. The job was completed on time and staff did a super job of cleaning up the area. I have received compliments on the finished job from my neighbors. I would highly recommend hiring A Little Finesse Landscape & Design to anyone wishing to modernize their lawns."

"Mark Tomberg Irrigation & Landscaping was a one stop shop completing paver installation, planter boarder installation, installing schrubs all around my home and a complete irrigation system for the planters and lawn. Marks crew showed up on time and worked hard every day thru completion. Mark stopped by at least once a day to check on his crew and resolve any issues that may have come up. I would recommend Mark Tomberg for any landscaping and irrigation project."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

There is no standard depth for burying a septic tank; they are typically buried anywhere from 4 inches to 4 feet underground. The final depth depends on several factors, including the depth of your main sewer line, the height of the bedrock, soil type, local regulations, and the property's landscape. If you plan to grow grass or plants over the tank, a depth of at least 4 to 6 inches is recommended. Deeper tanks can be more difficult to locate, but a septic professional can help find it for you.

Yes, you can excavate in the winter, but it might make the job harder. Frozen ground is harder to dig, and snow or ice can make the work site more hazardous. A contractor may need special equipment and techniques, such as ground-thawing methods, to break through frozen soil. Although winter excavation is possible, it may take longer and be more costly than excavating during warmer months.

Underground downspouts refer to the sections of downspout extensions that lead away from your home and gutter system. While they cost more than traditional extensions, they can provide several benefits, such as less frequent damage and no need to move them for lawn care tasks. Whether they're worth it or not depends on your budget at installation time and how much convenience they'll add to your situation.

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.
