"A representative came out an reviewed what we needed, The crew came out the following week and worked continuously trimming shrubbery, clearing leaves, trimming out dead debris (recent cold caught several things), took out some old shrubs, laid pine straw, and miscellaneous items. The yard looked transformed. Would recommend this service and the price was excellent. John and his crew were very professional, Plan to have another project in the Spring."

"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!"

"I hired them to address a leakage at the back of my house. They did a ton of work. Digging the foundation out, new drainage pipes, french drain. Water sealer, water deflector on the foundation. Re grading the yard. The end result was fantastic, leak is stopped. They will work with me answer my questions and make sure what I asked is addressed. Communication is great as well. This is a hidden gem type of contractor. I will definitely hire them again for my future yard works."

"Salazar replaced two separate retaining walls at my residence, demolishing and removing old/inadequate brick walls and replacing with proper full size blocks and capstones. In addition, they added a small concrete pad adjoining my Ssltillo patio and installed matching tile. Their work is very high quality and exhibits superb craftsmanship and care. I highly recommend them !"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Professional installers often include a deep layer of crushed gravel under permeable pavers to allow more runoff to soak through into the soil below. Many installations will include multiple layers of gravel, with coarser aggregate at the base and finer aggregate that sits on top of that bottom layer. Above the gravel, you’ll often find coarse sand that helps reduce paver shifting over time. Some permeable paver designs include a water collection system set into the gravel layer to route runoff to a safe area for disposal.

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.

A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock.

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.

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.
