"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!"

"David did a great job on my driveway, it was really messed up with concrete that was poured by another company and not smoothed out right. After David and his helper were through my driveway looked great!! I would recommend this company to anyone that needs any work that they specialize in. David is a good Christian man and a sweetheart, very nice and polite. His helper (sorry, I didn't get his name) is very nice and polite also. Thanks David for your help and if I need anything else done, I will give you a call."

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Richie and his team at Sanford's Landscaping to add a new deck and fire pit area to my cabin, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome! From start to finish, Richie was incredibly professional, attentive, and transparent. His expertise and eye for detail were evident in every aspect of the project. The craftsmanship of the deck is top-notch, with every board perfectly aligned and the finish flawless, truly complementing the natural beauty of my cabin's surroundings. The fire pit area is an absolute dream come true – it's beautifully constructed with just the right aesthetic to match the rustic vibe of the cabin while offering functionality and safety. Richie and his team were punctual, clean, and organized, making the whole process stress-free. They respected my property and left the construction site tidy each day. The project was completed on time and within the agreed budget, which was very reasonable for the quality of work provided. I highly recommend Sanford's Landscaping to anyone looking to enhance their outdoor living space. Richie's commitment to quality and customer satisfaction is unmatched. If you're in the market for a reliable, skilled, and courteous contractor, look no further than Richie and his team at Sanford's Landscaping. Thank you, Richie, for transforming my cabin’s outdoor space into a stunning retreat!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The best type of soil to build on is a mixture of sand and clay, known as loam soil. Loam soil has the best combination of these soil types to build a foundation on. The clay particles help with water retention, so it won’t erode like sandy soil might, and the sandy particles help with drainage, so you won’t see unsafe soil expansion or have an increased risk of leaks from water sitting against your foundation.

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.

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.

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.

Trenches are typically 12 to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, the required depth depends on the specific project and local ordinances. For example, a French drain may need to be 18 inches deep, while a water pipe might require a depth of 24 inches and a drainage pipe 36 inches. Your city or county may have specific regulations, so it's wise to consult with an excavation professional to determine the correct depth for your project.
