Customers say: Quick response

"More work was done than allowed to fill in spot. Including trim bushes, trim palm trees, lay sod in an area in back yard, power wash driveway and garden curbing. Restore garden lights to original status. Rain held up a lot and took longer to complete but eventually it all got done as promised."

"Watsons Irrigation did a great job on preparing the area and laying the sod. They did exactly what I wanted done and it looks fantastic. I worked with Braxton who was friendly, helpful, professional and so were the workers. They got the job done in a timely manner. I would definitely hire them again for any job!!"

"Alex and his team took great pride in their work and took a general concept and made it a reality. We asked for a “wow” factor and got it. They were on time, pleasant, and kept their work area cleaned up (as well as could be done during landscaping). They didn’t leave our job to complete another one. They stayed on it until it was done. They extended our lanai, installed a Pergola, built a water fountain and a stone kitchenette for the Blaze Grill, added landscaping, curbing, and lights. Every person who has seen it is amazed. It is truly spectacular."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Professional installers often include a deep layer of crushed gravel under permeable pavers to allow more runoff to soak through into the soil below. Many installations will include multiple layers of gravel, with coarser aggregate at the base and finer aggregate that sits on top of that bottom layer. Above the gravel, you’ll often find coarse sand that helps reduce paver shifting over time. Some permeable paver designs include a water collection system set into the gravel layer to route runoff to a safe area for disposal.

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.

Excavation and grading are both generally necessary for designing your foundation, and leveling the ground where your foundation will go. These steps can also prepare the area by removing vegetation and anything else that could interfere with your home’s foundation.

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.

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.
