"After Hurricane Helene, our backyard was completely destroyed—grass wiped out, ground shifted, and constant flooding every time it rained. We spoke with multiple contractors, but none came close to the professionalism, clarity, and responsiveness we received from Leslie Monroy and the team at Englewood Hardscaping, LLC. Leslie proposed a smart and effective drainage and grading solution at a very fair price and was able to schedule the work quickly. Within days, the crew was on-site, and they completely transformed our backyard. Their work was not only high-quality and efficient, but their communication was excellent from start to finish. Englewood Hardscaping consistently went above and beyond our expectations. Of all the contractors we’ve had to work with in the aftermath of the hurricane, none have been as professional, reliable, or pleasant as this team. We are absolutely thrilled with the results and can’t recommend them highly enough."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can install a trench drain if you already have concrete in your yard or garden. While it can complicate some aspects of the job and slightly run up the cost, it is doable. Residential trench drains can be easily retrofitted to outdoor areas with concrete without having to remove excessive amounts of your patio, pool area, or decorative walkways.

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.

Excavations take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time it takes to excavate an area depends on the size of the area, the type of soil, the type of excavator, and even the time of year, since winter can make digging up the ground more difficult.

Hardscaping often requires preparation of the ground in the area where the feature is being installed. This can include digging, compacting, and leveling the soil, ensuring adequate drainage, and removing any existing plants. The extent of preparation needed will depend on the type and size of the hardscaping feature being installed.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.
