"I hired Outdoor Visions to install almost 60 trees as a privacy hedge. Austin was friendly and very communicative, and he and his crew did a great job. They showed up on time, finished quickly, and cleaned up afterwards. I will definitely be hiring them again in the future!"

"Overall, we were pleased with our fence install. Russell was upfront and straight forward beginning with our fist conversation. He and his team were communicative and kept us up to date. There was a hiccup with the install due to his team being over zealous but Russell owned the situation and worked until everything was resolved. We will definitely consider Anderson Atlanta for future home improvement projects."

"Stonehenge got involved in the project after shoddy work by another company. They had to rip out a fire pit, retaining wall and cement stone 15’x 20’ deck, haul it off and start from scratch. They rebuilt everything, built a hand rail and railing around the deck. They also Installed a lighting system as well as designed and built 2 sidewalks with inlaid stone on both the sidewalks and deck. The work was completed as promised in a timely manner. I would not hesitate to use them again."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

If you’re planning to dig on your property, you’ll need to check for underground utility lines. Call the national call-before-you-dig 811 number. Once connected to an operator, you can schedule a site visit to mark underground lines. This way, you won’t accidentally dig into pipes and can cause major (read: costly) issues.

After you successfully remove your boulder, you have a few options for what to do to get rid of it. You can rent a dumpster if your yard has many boulders or if you’re planning a larger project. You can even save the boulder and reuse it elsewhere on your property to save on landscaping costs. A few ideas include using the boulder as a natural, abstract statue, breaking it into smaller pieces to line your garden bed, or offering it to a landscaping company that could reuse it for another project.

If you don’t have a crawl space but have a partial basement you want to make deeper, you can expect to spend a little less—between $40,000 and $90,000 on average. However, if you’re not adding new finished square footage, you won’t see much in the way of ROI.

Underground downspouts refer to the sections of downspout extensions that lead away from your home and gutter system. While they cost more than traditional extensions, they can provide several benefits, such as less frequent damage and no need to move them for lawn care tasks. Whether they're worth it or not depends on your budget at installation time and how much convenience they'll add to your situation.

Septic drain lines (or leach lines) are typically buried between 18 and 36 inches underground, and should be at least 6 inches below the surface. These pipes are perforated and surrounded by filtering materials like sand or gravel. Burying the lines at this depth helps minimize odors and allows bacteria and other biological processes in the soil to effectively treat the wastewater. Burying lines too close to the surface can cause issues unless the soil is very compact and stable.
