"Happy Handyman LLC in my opinion the best contracting company I have ever used. They installed a roof on an existing out of square building and did a magnificent job. Dealing with Tracy, the owner, was an absolute pleasure. Her crew was very knowledgeable, courteous, professional and respectful. I will definitely hire then again and am informing my friends of there excellent work. I recommend them to everyone!"

"Jeff and his crew were fantastic!! We couldn't have had a better experience. Jeff worked with us on design and made suggestions that enhanced the project. As we made revisions to the scope of work, Jeff was timely in modifying the quote and was so patient with us while we worked out the details! He quoted a start date and started on that date and worked daily until the project was complete. The crew was respectful of our property and that of our neighbors. The landscaping turned out beautiful! We were working from home during the entire project and didn't once see a corner cut. Additionally, Jeff had creative solutions so some existing drainage problems and offered those along the way. Graceful Gardens was amazing and I am thrilled to recommend them."

"Atlas tree Service did a terrific job digging a French drain, replacing a dead holly tree, and trimming up a large oak tree for me. The drain is working beautifully and the sod looks beautiful. I would recommend them highly."

"Brad and Bruce did a nice job on my additional gravel parking area. It did take extra day due to family emergency but they were very careful not to damage my existing concrete driveway. They got to my job inside of a week which was great. They did everything that I expected and my family does this for a living in Florida so I knew what it should look like. Thanks guys for moving that fallen tree."

Excavating FAQs, 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.

Yes, you can install a trench drain if you already have concrete in your yard or garden. While it can complicate some aspects of the job and slightly run up the cost, it is doable. Residential trench drains can be easily retrofitted to outdoor areas with concrete without having to remove excessive amounts of your patio, pool area, or decorative walkways.

Completion time ranges from days to weeks, contingent on project size, environmental conditions, and regulatory approvals.

The time it takes to build a pool—and dig out the area—varies based on the pool size and type. A professional excavator will take between four and eight hours to dig a pool. The process will take longer if they encounter large boulders or tree roots. Keep in mind that this is a small part of the process in the long run. You will need between eight and 12 weeks to build a pool from start to finish, including the time to apply for permits.

Yes, you can excavate in the winter, but it might make the job harder. Frozen ground is harder to dig, and snow or ice can make the work site more hazardous. A contractor may need special equipment and techniques, such as ground-thawing methods, to break through frozen soil. Although winter excavation is possible, it may take longer and be more costly than excavating during warmer months.
