"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!"

"Exelent service and quality from woodchuck land management crew! They guys showed up on time and got straight to work. Being as I am in a neighborhood everything is real tight and thereâ s not much room to mulch/grind trees and brush, they crew left my property looking 100xâ s better than they found it. Would strongly recommend WLM to anyone that is wanting to add REAL value to their property."

"Water’s concrete did an awesome job of replacing our driveway! Blaine and his entire crew were extremely thorough with a keen eye on detail. The timing of this project was exceptional as the weather conditions were so unpredictable… they waited just long enough for everything to dry up and temperatures to rise to an acceptable level prior to even beginning the job. We couldn’t recommend a company more than Water’ concrete for your concrete projects. Thank you so very much for all your hard work and very competitive pricing! K&D"

I take pride in offering honest, quality and reliable work.\nI was raised by a master plumber and started working in the trades when I was about 5 years old. Now, over 25 years later, I have learned to manage large projects by myself. I have extensive experience in residential and commercial plumbing service work but I have grown to love landscaping and property maintenance. The instant gratification of working with earth is much more satisfying.\nMowing, Landscape Remodel, Custom Decks & Fences, Ponds/Waterfalls, Seasonal & Storm Cleanup, Tree Trimming/Removal. \n\nIf you would like to support a local, family owned business that offers top quality service, Peace of Mind Property Maintenance is ready to go!

"I had a bad problem with water runoff and erosion due to the slope of the yard. This creating a bigger issue as it had washed away a lot of the dirt in and around my privacy fence making it loose and unstable. Ortiz Landscape did an owtstanding job with following up with calls. Mr. Ortiz himself was very helpful and had great information for me when he came out to the house to look at the job. He and the company did exactly what we discussed doing by putting in a couple of "catch bassings" and piping and rocks around the fence with concrete to help direct the water to the catch basing. He even came out again to check everything to make sure all was done correctly and to our satisfaction."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

How deep your septic system needs to be into the ground depends on several factors. In extremely cold environments, the tank needs to rest below the maximum frost line, which can be up to six or eight feet deep. The standard burying depth for most systems is between a few inches and four feet below ground level. Depth can also depend on the slope of the landscaping and other property variables. 

The cost to repair a crawl space runs between $1,500 and $15,000, depending on the extent of the damage. Major flooding or water repairs can cost up to $10,000 for removal and repairs. If you simply need to clean your crawl space, expect to pay between $2,000 and $6,000 for a major cleanout. Replacing a crawl space beam due to rot or damage can cost between $1,500 and $5,000, while removing and replacing damaged insulation costs between $1,000 and $4,000.

In the United States, a depth of 36 inches (three feet) for underground water lines is the accepted industry standard. This depth varies from location to location based on local conditions. In areas with colder winters, they may be buried deeper to prevent frozen well water pipes : This is usually at least six inches below the frost level. The International Plumbing Code calls for a minimum of 12 inches below grade.

The digging depth will depend on the size of the trencher you use. Even smaller units can dig up to 4 feet deep, which is plenty for a DIY job. However, much larger trenchers can reach a depth of 18 feet and are better used by a team of pro contractors, not a single DIYer. As with all home improvement projects, use the right tool for the job and proceed with caution.

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