"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."

"I hired Hackford to remove two massive trees, stamp grind, and hallway all debris. I also had them remove dead shrubs, trimmed the front shrubs, and raise the canopy of a tree. The crew took a day and a half and were courteous and efficient. I was very pleased with how good the yard looked. I'd hire Brandon for future jobs and I highly recommend them."

"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."

"MWB Outdoor did an amazing job. Very professional and hard working. They are very methodical and maintain safety in every aspect of the job. Before the job was over Angie’s list called me and asked a couple of questions—then created a review in my name rating MWB with a 3 star and stated job wasn’t complete. This is my only review and if there was a rating higher than 5 MWB would get it."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Prior to excavation, you should prepare the dig site and call 311 before you sign anything.

To get your site ready for excavation, you should move anything in the area that isn’t affixed to the land. You can save money on the excavation by removing hardscaping, including walkways, decks, concrete patios, and paver patios.

Before you carry out any digging, you should call 311 to confirm that there are no utility lines running through your excavation site. Skipping this step could lead to severe injury and property damage if your excavator hits a water, sewage, or gas line.

Trenches are typically 12 to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, the required depth depends on the specific project and local ordinances. For example, a French drain may need to be 18 inches deep, while a water pipe might require a depth of 24 inches and a drainage pipe 36 inches. Your city or county may have specific regulations, so it's wise to consult with an excavation professional to determine the correct depth for your project.

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.

To drill a shallow well, you may be able to use a drive well point. This is a tapered point that is driven into the ground. A drill bit at the end of PVC pipe may be another option to consider. A lot of the cost depends on what tools are available near you.

How deep your septic system needs to be into the ground depends on several factors. In extremely cold environments, the tank needs to rest below the maximum frost line, which can be up to six or eight feet deep. The standard burying depth for most systems is between a few inches and four feet below ground level. Depth can also depend on the slope of the landscaping and other property variables.
