"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!"

"Attention to Detail You Can Feel The finishes were flawless, but it was the behind-the-scenes quality that really impressed us. Every wall is straight, every cabinet soft-closes perfectly, and every light is exactly where it should be. You can tell they care deeply about the details."

"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

Slab foundations are more affordable than crawl spaces because they require minimal excavation, as the slab sits directly on the ground or on footers that only sink a few feet into the ground. Crawl spaces require excavation of the entire footprint of the home to several feet below the surface. Not only does that mean higher labor costs, but more materials are necessary for the concrete foundation walls.

Water lines are buried at various depths, depending on the type of line. For example, most sprinkler lines are buried between four and 12 inches underground. On the other hand, water mains usually sit between one and 3 feet below ground. However, they can go even deeper in cold climates to prevent freezing.

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.

Most states do not require excavation companies to hold specific licenses, but many require at least a contractor’s license. Additionally, heavy equipment operators require a special commercial equipment license to operate machinery required for excavation. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to confirm that an excavation company you’re considering hiring is fully licensed. You should also make sure that the excavation team is fully insured before allowing them to work on your property.

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.
