"I just wanted to say thank you for the great job you did replacing my septic system. It’s clear you take a lot of pride in your work. You handled everything from start to finish with professionalism and care, and the end result looks fantastic. It’s not easy finding someone who’s dependable, hardworking, and honest — but you checked every box. I really appreciated how you kept me informed throughout the process and made sure everything was done right. I’d highly recommend Frank Farms and Excavating to anyone who needs septic or excavation work. You did excellent work, and it shows."

"Tyler from T&I was the very first to respond to my estimate queries. He had a very reasonable offer for me that afternoon. And was even willing to get started that same day. Unfortunately I was still at work when he came, but I told him he could get started without me. He took it upon himself to go ahead and mow the entire 1/4 acre lot, even trimmed the bushes, and he had no guarantee that I was going to pay the bill. He took a huge leap of faith on me, and his graciousness was extraordinary. Iâ m thrilled to know my lawn is now in his care this summer."

"Tom did a great job and when he was done he did several extra things that he thought would help that were not originally discussed for no extra charge. He helped solve a drainage problem behind my house."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

The easier way to find buried sprinkler lines is to use the plan from the professionals who installed the system. If you don’t have professional plans, listen for running water on your lawn when you turn on the system. You may also spot wet areas, giving you an idea of where the heads are. Once you find the sprinkler heads, you’ll likely be able to connect the dots between them, revealing the system below.

Landscape edging is more DIYable than trenching. You can DIY your own digging projects, but proceed carefully and only with proper knowledge of the equipment and appropriate safety measures in place. Keep in mind the project's scope and estimate how long it will take you to do it on your own. While you can certainly save money by DIYing home improvement projects, you can’t exactly hide an unfinished—or worse, ruined— landscaping job from the neighbors. It’s always safer to call an excavation pro near you to get an estimate.

Consultation with the local government helps identify necessary permits, avoid project delays or legal issues, and protect project integrity.

Trenchers can dig holes as narrow as 4 inches or as wide as 4 feet. Check the specifications of the trencher you rent or buy to determine how wide it will cut into the landscape. Better yet, let the excavation company know how wide you’d like the trench to be, and they can help you choose the right trencher for the job (or do it for you).
