"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

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.

No, fire blight does not survive free in the soil but instead is carried through insects, animals, rain, or wind during the spring. Keep in mind that it can also spread on tools, which is why you should always disinfect them in between cuts.

To locate an underground downspout, you should start by identifying where the above ground gutter drains. Look for an entry point, such as a pipe or elbow leading into the ground. Follow the surface path for signs like depressions, landscaping disruptions, or wet areas after rain. You can use a metal detector or plumber’s snake to trace the pipe underground. For deeper pipes, a professional locator tool or camera inspection may be necessary. Visual markers or utility maps can also guide the search.

Digging a well can cost between $20 and $25,000, depending on your needs. If you’re looking to dig a well yourself, all you need is a shovel. If you’re looking to have a well drilled by a professional, you can expect to pay around $15 to $30 per foot. The total cost of drilling a well will average to $5,500.

To determine whether your homeowners' insurance will cover crawl space repair, consider the cause of the issue. Repair may be covered if the problems were caused by an event that the insurance covers, such as vandalism or a windstorm. However, companies won't cover the repair if the issues are caused by neglect or wear and tear.
