We are booked out for this calendar year! Welcome to Habiscapes where we pride ourselves in the creation of distinctive and nature-friendly outdoor spaces. Habiscapes will work with you to create a xeric landscape that will reduce water consumption and maintenance by utilizing beautiful, indigenous plantings. These water-wise and fire-safe landscapes incorporate special designs that showcase drought tolerant shrubs, trees, grasses, perennials and stone. Our landscapes are guaranteed to attract local wildlife, including birds, bees and butterflies, into your gardens and natural areas. We are typically booked months in advance so please plan accordingly...we do not install concrete curbing, driveways or walkways but opt to work with natural stone or paver products.

"We tried getting few quotes from different landscaping company and had hard time getting commitments on their calendar for over a year until we found Michael from Habiscapes. He was very professional, knowledgeable, organized, trustworthy and easy to work with. [*** Link removed ***] After reviewing the landscaping design in September, we got on his calendar for first week in June and he was spot on to start the work as planned. Michael gave excellent design suggestions to work on our project with native plants, habitat, steep slope design and keeping the budget in mind. Michael’s entire crew was very professional starting with his team supervisor James and rest of the crew Taylor and couple other guys, Who all did an extraordinary job. They all were always sharp on time in the morning at 8:30 am and packed up sharp at 4:30 pm giving us heads-up on the work planned for the next days and where we were on the schedule. This helped me and my husband plan our work schedules etc. They all worked hard moving huge boulders from the front to the back slopes, setting large few feet wide stepping stone slabs steps carefully so they do not damaged out front driveway. They did complete sprinkler work and setup vegetable beds. They completed our project as planned and updating us as they went where the sprinklers were and how to maintain the new landscaping for long term. They left our property and our neighborhood clean without leaving any mess. Couple of our neighbors were also impressed and already have started to work with Michael on their landscaping projects. Writing reviews is not my thing, but this crew were fabulous and deserve highest recommendation that anyone would be looking in a great landscaping company. I am already planning to work with them on my back patio paver project next. Thank you Michael and crew!!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Trenching is a specific kind of digging. Trenching means digging a depression in the earth that’s deeper than it is wide, often with heavy machinery. Digging refers to any kind of removal of earth in order to create a human-made depression, hole, or cut in the earth’s surface. You can dig with big tools or even with just a hand shovel.

Trenches are typically 12 inches to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, your city or county may have specific ordinances that clarify the dimensions needed for the project. For instance, a water pipe may need to be 24 inches deep, but a drainage pipe may need to be 36 inches deep.

Some two-in-one tools and machines do both jobs, and those could be the right solution for smaller residential projects. However, the phrase “use the right tool for the job” definitely applies to digging. For the best results, get two separate tools for your trenching and landscape edging projects or call a pro to take care of everything for you.

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.

Digging out a basement takes anywhere from a few days to a few months. Most projects take at least two to five weeks, but it could take several months if you encounter obstacles. This project takes longer if you need to brace or raise your home before the excavation. Digging out a basement in new construction can take as little as three days.
