"Brothers Contracting and Landscaping is FABULOUS to work with! They tore out our old, unsafe deck and replaced it with one twice the size and much, much sturdier. The also replaced our worn out front porch and shed doors and built completely new doors, as well as remodeling our damaged floor in our master bathroom and installing new fabulous flooring. They accomplished all this in about 3 1/2 weeks! On time, on budget, and with EXCELLENT workmanship. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND BROTHERS!"

"Jonathan was very professional, arrived on time and did an excellent job with our project. He finished the project in the timeline he specified even though he did the entire thing by himself. I am extremely pleased with the work he did and would definitely hire him again!"

"Greenmen landscaping did an amazing job on our backyard landscaping. I felt like I was on HGTV! We recently purchased a new home that desperately needed an overhaul in the backyard. It is now the perfect oasis for our family and small children and pup! We couldn’t be happier with the work performed. The crew was always professionally and tidy. There was so much work to do but the team worked diligently and the project was complete within about a week. Thank you Greenmen landscaping!"

"We hired William to remove a wood arbor/pergola that was part of the house's original construction. We are extremely pleased with the professionalism, speed, finish work, and communication throughout. William and Camilla were on site to supervise their crew and ensure no detail was overlooked. We can't tell the original structure was ever there. In addition, we were given suggestions regarding other needed maintenance. We will definitely contact this company first for future projects. Very nice people to work with."

"Daniel and his team did an amzing job replacing our worn out lawn with beautiful Zorro Zoysia. From my first phone call requesting an estimate and throughout the entire project, Daniel and his team were clear and concise with their communications and professional with all aspects of the install. We couldn't be happier with the results. No surprises, just 5 STAR service!"

"Hard working, outstanding work. They explained what they were going to do. Contacted us a few days before the job to confirm they are coming. They pay attention to the smallest details, and talk with us while doing the work. Plus they gave a good price, much lower than the nearest competitor."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The rules and regulations regarding groundwater use vary between states. To find out if you can dig a well on your property, you’ll have to consult these regulations, address any compliance requirements, and get the appropriate permits. It’s also important to check that your intended location has the right geology and water table to support a well.

Yes, chipmunk holes may have two or more entrances. Chipmunks can create an entire network of burrows. Having multiple entrances makes it easier for them when trying to escape from a predator, such as a snake, or if an entrance collapses due to flooding. Each entrance leads to the nesting chamber underground, which is where the chipmunk spends the majority of its time sleeping.

If you don’t wish to dig it out and convert it into a finished basement, you can still encapsulate your crawl space to protect it from damage for an average cost of $5,500. Finishing a crawl space beyond this isn’t really worthwhile, as the low ceilings mean you won’t be able to use the area as living space.

Hard soil could be a sign of overly dry dirt, either from poor drainage or drought. It's important to test the nutrient levels, density, and drainage capacity of your soil to see if it's absorbing water properly. Begin by adding a light layer of water and observing how long the soil retains moisture. If you experience a good deal of runoff, you may need to aerate your lawn, apply a wetting agent, or hire a professional for a closer look.

We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.

Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.
