"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 recently had a wood fence installed by Marshal landscaping LLC and am beyond thrilled with the final product!!! Adam, Kris and Devon were extremely helpful, attentive and knowledgeable. Adam and Kris made great recommendations when I was not sure of what to do or what decision to make. They also repaired part of a link fence and completed a roof for for the bird seeds I put out. They made this whole process smooth and stress free for me. This experience was outstanding and I am highly satisfied with the outcome. I cannot say enough good things about Adam and his company. They exceeded my expectations, I HIGHLY recommend them and will definitely use them again!"

"Darla and her crew did a large landscaping project for us that required bark, trees and plants to be removed from several areas around our house as well as create a new bed in front of our pool equipment. Her vision for our yard was exactly what we wanted. We had other bids, but when Darla showed us her drawing, she was the only one that was very creative and came up with a one of a kind unique plan. She was at our house every day working hard along side her crew and stayed late each day. We could not be more pleased with our beautiful new plants, trees and the rock selected for our beds. Several people in our neighborhood asked her for her business card after seeing how our landscaping turned out. She was absolutely a pleasure to work with."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can technically make a crawl space liveable, but the only way to do so is by converting it into a basement. While some crawl spaces are big enough to walk through and store large items, they lack appropriate insulation and space to be liveable.

It takes one hour to dig a 10-foot trench by hand. Use a trenching shovel with a sharp tip and a long head. Plan for more time if your soil is heavy or rocky. Consider renting a trencher if you’re digging a long or deep trench or if you have challenging soil or terrain. 

Drilled wells have a pipe sticking up that’s covered in a plastic or metal casing. On the other hand, a dug well will look like a big hole in the ground and is more similar to what you’d see in a fantasy or Western movie. If you want to be sure, contact the city for documentation on your property’s construction and excavation history. 

If you have a broken sprinkler pipe underground, there will be some signs you can easily spot to locate it and take action. These include leaks, water spouts, flooding, consistently damp areas on your lawn, low water pressure, and grass around the sprinkler head that’s taller and darker than anywhere else in the yard. 

If there are no obvious signs of a broken pipe, you can use tools such as water leak mics, leak noise loggers, audio devices that record leaks, and acoustic testing links. 

Broken pipes can lead to uneven watering, plant damage, and higher utility bills. The longer you wait to fix them the more the repair cost may be.

The average cost of excavation is approximately $3,200, with typical projects ranging from $500 to $15,000. Depending on the contractor, you may be charged between $50 and $200 per cubic yard or an hourly rate of $40 to $180 for an excavation specialist. The total cost is influenced by several factors, including the project size, the amount of soil to be removed, and the soil's condition. Hard soil, tree roots, or excessive rocks and clay can increase the price, potentially adding $200 to $1,200 to the final bill. Other factors that can drive up costs include the presence of nearby structures that complicate the work or tight spaces that require manual excavation instead of heavy machinery.
