"I would recommend them to anyone. Was very pleased with the land clearing and when husband got home, he was well pleased also. Plan on having them back to do the rest of the property."

"The initial consultation was very pleasant. We agreed to take our shared fence down so they could access the area needing work. They would be entering from our neighbors yard. They called my husband and told them they would be starting on Oct. 9. My husband waited all day for them to arrive, no call, text , or email explaining their absence. They arrived the next day. Workers got all but concrete poured. My husband noticed they did not pull the stump out as agreed right next to where they were pouring. He contacted the leader and told him he under no circumstances did not want concrete poured until the stump was removed to avoid future damage to our new foundation. The worker said they would remove it. I got home the next day and noticed they concrete was done and the stump was still there. I also noticed they had broken some of my curbing and did not fix it. My neighbors yard was littered with leftover gravel mix, concrete and trash. They came back to collect their tools and picked up some of their trash. My husband came home and looked over their work with the lead guy. I pointed out that I was upset they had broken curbing and did not bother fixing it. He said he could come back in a few weeks to fix it. (It has been 3 weeks and it is still not fixed.) We questioned the stump still being there after we were very clear about what we wanted. He said the "cut the root that went under our foundation. In summary, they did a great job with the concrete, but left a mess for us to clean up. They broke things said they would fix them but did not . They did not follow through with what my husband said in regards to not pouring until the stump was removed."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.

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.

Because decomposed granite is a durable material, a crushed rock or gravel base is optional as long as the DG is properly installed and compacted. However, installing a base is a good idea because it will ensure proper drainage and stability and act as a weed suppressant (although you may still occasionally have to pull weeds). Installing an adequate base can also increase the durability of driveways and walkways. If you forego the paver base or gravel underneath, line the area with landscaping fabric to avoid weeds.

While you can save some money by digging your own pool, you may end up paying more in construction equipment rental fees in the long run. You could, however, focus your DIY energies on lowering the cost of leveling your lawn for your pool or filling in surrounding landscaping after construction.

To locate an underground downspout, you should start by identifying where the above ground gutter drains. Look for an entry point, such as a pipe or elbow leading into the ground. Follow the surface path for signs like depressions, landscaping disruptions, or wet areas after rain. You can use a metal detector or plumber’s snake to trace the pipe underground. For deeper pipes, a professional locator tool or camera inspection may be necessary. Visual markers or utility maps can also guide the search.
