"The owners always went above and beyond and were always a phone call away if I had concerns. I have used them for many years without a complaint and since selling my property and moving I miss them terribly. They [and their staff] were always professional, happy to assist, educated in their line of work and eager to help. I had a large yard (3+ acres) and housed developmentally disabled as well as elderly clients. I always felt secure when they were there my residents were safe. The yard was always done to perfection and everyone that saw it (neighbors and state agencies included) complimented them. They were also timely showing on a regular weekly schedule and would update me if something came up that was out of their control. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

"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.

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

There are many ways to cut through roots when digging, especially if your trencher doesn’t seem to be removing the roots. First, use a shovel to expose the roots. Then, use gardening shears to clear out smaller roots or a reciprocating saw to remove larger plant roots. If you plan on keeping the plant, avoid cutting any roots over 2 inches thick.

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.

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.

A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock.

The easier way to find buried sprinkler lines is to use the plan from the professionals who installed the system. If you don’t have professional plans, listen for running water on your lawn when you turn on the system. You may also spot wet areas, giving you an idea of where the heads are. Once you find the sprinkler heads, you’ll likely be able to connect the dots between them, revealing the system below.
