"Indy & his men were just wonderful, did outstanding work on our patio, sidewalk, stoop & around our trees. We felt they were a great value for the money. They completed the job on time & within the estimate. Indy is very easy & fair to work with & I'd hire him for a 2nd job without fail."

Customers say: Quality work

"I used this landscaping business twice and both times the end result went beyond what I had imagined. I am a person who is aware of design features and studied visual art in my past, and this guy was able to exceed my own ideas. I was overly pleased at the end of both projects. It is my bet that you also will be overly pleased with, not only the quality of the work, but also the absolutely beautiful appearance of Tom's creativity. If you want your home to be a model for hardscape design on your block (as mine is now), I strongly suggest that you consider this landscaper. You will NOT be disappointed. Highly recommended."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

The cost to repair a crawl space runs between $1,500 and $15,000, depending on the extent of the damage. Major flooding or water repairs can cost up to $10,000 for removal and repairs. If you simply need to clean your crawl space, expect to pay between $2,000 and $6,000 for a major cleanout. Replacing a crawl space beam due to rot or damage can cost between $1,500 and $5,000, while removing and replacing damaged insulation costs between $1,000 and $4,000.

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.

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.

A joint utility trench, or joint trench, is a long, buried ditch on a property that contains two or more utility lines rather than running the lines in multiple trenches. Some utilities, like gas and electric or electric and communication lines, are better suited to joint trenching, while others, like water and sewer, are not allowed to be in the same trench.
