"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!"

"This company did an excellent job after a large tree was removed from my front lawn. They brought their crew out early on a Monday morning leveled the ground with topsoil, put sod down, new mulch, stones and flowers where it was requested, and all finished within 4 days. They left it neat and professional looking. I would recommend them."

"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!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Chipmunks dig their burrows about three feet deep and up to 30 feet long. The entrances can be two inches wide or more. Chipmunks are fiercely protective of their burrows and use them to protect the nuts and seeds they gather for the long winters.

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.

Some two-in-one tools and machines do both jobs, and those could be the right solution for smaller residential projects. However, the phrase “use the right tool for the job” definitely applies to digging. For the best results, get two separate tools for your trenching and landscape edging projects or call a pro to take care of everything for you.

The easier way to find buried sprinkler lines is to use the plan from the professionals who installed the system. If you don’t have professional plans, listen for running water on your lawn when you turn on the system. You may also spot wet areas, giving you an idea of where the heads are. Once you find the sprinkler heads, you’ll likely be able to connect the dots between them, revealing the system below.

Trenchers can dig holes as narrow as 4 inches or as wide as 4 feet. Check the specifications of the trencher you rent or buy to determine how wide it will cut into the landscape. Better yet, let the excavation company know how wide you’d like the trench to be, and they can help you choose the right trencher for the job (or do it for you).
