"The project went very well. My property suffered a double discrepancy situation. I received a higher than usual water bill. At the same time, found water flowing from underneath the entrance to our driveway. Water line failure. So the fix is, two birds one stone so to speak. Since the meter was still ticking when Billy arrived, he located the water leak and decided to bypass the leak entirely with new equipment. That way, we both had time to figure out our next steps to repair while the water meter was not consistently running. Then, he brought in excavation equipment, demolished and removed the debris that same day. Even with a slight weather delay, the project was done timely, and at the end we were very satisfied with the finished effort. Billy kept me well informed with text and photo messages. He bid this project within my budget and we got started right away. I would recommend Mr. Hays expertise and have already to MacDill AFB contracting personnel."

"George Brown and his team are the best tree removal crew we've ever hired. We were already huge fans of George because we were customers of his former lawn service business for years. It was hard saying goodbye to George in his lawncare capacity back a few years ago as he was truly the best and we really liked who he was as a person as well. We needed some very large trees removed from very close to the house recently and knew that George was the one to call. WOW, George and his crew did an incredible job!! They’ve got all the right heavy equipment and highly skilled staff who work in sync with one another in the process. They're the most efficient, skilled tree removal specialists we’ve ever hired and George truly goes the extra mile for his customers. All the “fallout” debris was cleaned up and hauled off afterward, the stumps were ground and the area around where they did the work was leveled and just beautiful. George is a man of integrity and kindness with an unparalleled work ethic. He’s found that in the staff he’s hired to work for him as well. George’s price is right, too! Someone you can trust to do the job right, all the way around!"

"It is hard to find good help but when you do it is absolutely necessary to complement them and also refer them to others. I hired Ascend Property Services to complete multiple jobs this summer. They removed and installed flooring (LVP), painted interior and exterior of house, pressure washed and completed multiple handyman jobs in multiple houses. I have never been more pleased with hired help. My contractor is Ryan Hardy and he will provide you with timely professional service. His exceptional performance is by far the best I have ever experienced over the past few decades. Please give him a call for your next project. You will be very pleased with the results."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

It’s possible to transplant trees as tall as 50 feet when an experienced tree planting service uses the right equipment. However, a tree with a trunk larger than two or three inches in diameter needs to be handled by a professional in order to yield successful transplanting results. Consulting a tree planting professional is the best way to tell if your large tree can be safely transplanted.

Concrete blocks are the cheapest way to base a shed. However, the space in between allows critters to go under, burrow, and even damage your shed’s frame. For a more pest-proof option, consider building a shed base with gravel or paver stones. Both options are fairly affordable and easy enough for a DIY project. For gravel, you can build a wooden frame to contain the loose material.

Consultation with the local government helps identify necessary permits, avoid project delays or legal issues, and protect project integrity.

You should dig 3 to 6 inches deep for plastic edging. Dig as wide as you need to fit your plastic edging into it—2 inches is usually sufficient.

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.
