"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."

"Win Tech just completed a roughly 3 day project for me. I initially called them to 'clean up' my plants/shrubs/trees - but after talking to Brian I asked them to go farther. As a fairly recently divorced woman living alone - my property had started to slide. Brian's vision and his amazing team of workers took over and totally brought my property back to life!! Everything from the original trimming I had called them about - to resealing my driveway, fixing/cleaning my fountain and putting in all new brick borders that perfectly matched my house color. It looks amazing! He did many 'extra' touches that meant a lot too - including adding a palm to my beach area, adding some sod and fixing my lanai door (that always clunked). Brian has a great eye for detail and knows just how to handle a project. I will definitely call them again - and highly recommend them..."

"The garden beds and lighting look amazing. The new sod will be good once the old grass catches up to the new grass. The edging of the garden beds makes them stand out against the lawn and the overall curb appeal is improved a millionfold."

"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."

Customers say: Quick response

"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

Slab foundations are more affordable than crawl spaces because they require minimal excavation, as the slab sits directly on the ground or on footers that only sink a few feet into the ground. Crawl spaces require excavation of the entire footprint of the home to several feet below the surface. Not only does that mean higher labor costs, but more materials are necessary for the concrete foundation walls.

The time it takes to build a pool—and dig out the area—varies based on the pool size and type. A professional excavator will take between four and eight hours to dig a pool. The process will take longer if they encounter large boulders or tree roots. Keep in mind that this is a small part of the process in the long run. You will need between eight and 12 weeks to build a pool from start to finish, including the time to apply for permits.

Water lines are buried at various depths, depending on the type of line. For example, most sprinkler lines are buried between four and 12 inches underground. On the other hand, water mains usually sit between one and 3 feet below ground. However, they can go even deeper in cold climates to prevent freezing.

The average cost for pool excavation is $2,500. This cost can range from $450 to $4,500, depending on the pool shape and size, time of year, and any need to move buried utilities. 

When excavating for your pool, you might have to move existing utilities. You can expect to pay an additional $15 to $25 per linear foot to move gas lines. To move a septic system, it’ll cost an additional $2,000 to $20,000. A pool that is 10 feet by 12 feet averages $450 to excavate, and a 20-foot-by-40-foot pool averages $3,020.

It can take several weeks for the ground to settle after removing a tree, and the soil under larger, more mature trees can take months. The deeper the tree has been ground under the soil, the longer it will take to settle. However, this extra depth can help you plant new landscaping sooner because you’ll have more space for fresh soil.
