"I recently hired Greg and his crew for tree work at my property, and I am extremely satisfied with the results. Greg was highly responsive to my request for a quote, promptly scheduled a visit to assess the job, and provided a very competitive price. The work involved trimming three trees — one in the front yard and two in the backyard — to clear them from the roofline. Although there was a slight delay on the day of the job due to unforeseen complications, Greg and his team arrived ready to work and completed the project as scheduled. They ensured all debris was thoroughly cleaned up, leaving the yard in excellent condition. Overall, Greg and his team exceeded my expectations with their professionalism, efficiency, and attention to detail. I will certainly be using their services again for any future tree work. Thank you, Greg and team!"

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.

Some two-in-one tools and machines do both jobs, and those could be the right solution for smaller residential projects. However, the phrase “use the right tool for the job” definitely applies to digging. For the best results, get two separate tools for your trenching and landscape edging projects or call a pro to take care of everything for you.

If you don’t wish to dig it out and convert it into a finished basement, you can still encapsulate your crawl space to protect it from damage for an average cost of $5,500. Finishing a crawl space beyond this isn’t really worthwhile, as the low ceilings mean you won’t be able to use the area as living space.

Downspouts should be buried at least 5 to 10 feet away from your foundation. This can vary depending on your local building codes, soil type, and property slope. The main goal is to ensure water is directed away from your foundation.

Concrete blocks are the cheapest way to base a shed. However, the space in between allows critters to go under, burrow, and even damage your shed’s frame. For a more pest-proof option, consider building a shed base with gravel or paver stones. Both options are fairly affordable and easy enough for a DIY project. For gravel, you can build a wooden frame to contain the loose material.
