"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

The physical constraints of hand-drilling a well limit the depth you can achieve. Manually digging with picks and shovels may only lead to shallow wells of up to 60 feet in depth. To reach greater depths, you need more specialized equipment. The diameter of your well and the tools you’re using will determine how far down you can dig.

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.

Above ground pools are not buried in the ground. Typically, above ground pools are semi-permanent. One reason they’re more affordable is that you don’t have to dig for an inground pool and pour concrete or another material. However, you can choose to install a semi inground pool, which is a hybrid between the two.

Yes, professional installations include trenching or borehole drilling required for ground loops.

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.
