I called several providers that could seal a crawlspace seepage problem.  Brian Flanagan provided the quote for CrawlspaceSolutions after inspecting the cement floor crawlspace and walking around the house inspecting landscape drainage. I ended up with two acceptable quotes. Crawlspace Solutions was  significantly less expensive and offered more actual benefit in the combined indoor and outdoor work.

He offered several options for proceeding. At my request Brian broke out the options in his quote for:
1. Only crack injection sealing and interior drain tiling with sump pit and pump
2. Only exterior drainage correction
3. Combined if all work is to done at one time.
He also provided options for a battery back up system for the sump pump and for pouring a new floor. An additional discount was offered if work could begin on Wednesday or Thursday the following week.  I accepted all options.

The Crew arrived punctually on the Thursday and covered all floors for foot traffic, broke out the perimeter concrete, trenched and installed the tile, pit, pump, overlayed a new smooth finished floor and removed the sod, trenched, graveled, installed the external French drains to clear standing water and replaced the sod slightly raised to accommodate settling. They cleaned up all but a few smudges that were easily wiped away and were gone at the end of the day.  Brian came on Friday to check the job. My only concern was that new cement touched the bottom of the furnace ducting in one place.  They were to return the following Tuesday to install the battery backup pump, so he said the crew would come back then to cut, chip out, frame and re -cement to increase the clearance to the furnace and install a connection from the furnace depression to the drain tile. He also suggested that they would add another French drain outside and extend one installed the previous Thursday at no additional cost.

The crew arrived again on Tuesday and accomplished all of the assignments.  Brian and the crew were very easy to work with and were genuinely dedicated to making sure that they were professionally proud of and that I was pleased with the work.  I am extremely pleased with the outcome.  The warranty is for life and transferable to a new owner."

"Mike did an excellent job for us. We had him take care of a large yard that had been neglected and was overgrown. He jumped right in and had things looking good. He gets right on a job and gets it done, easy to get a hold of and always responds quickly."

"We had Patrick come out twice in the past two months. First, after the storm in July, we realized that our pump in our front yard flood control failed, resulting in our basement flooding. Patrick came out quickly to replace the pump. He knows what he's doing. He's been in the business for over 10 years, and he's a truly honest guy. The pump and the installation ran us about $500 bucks. Then, we most recently called him because we noticed a coroded pipe in our basement which was leaking. He said he was going to come out during the day, but didn't show up until dinnertime. One thing I would have appreciated if he would have just called my husband or me to let us know he wouldn't be able to make it until later.  But, it wasn't a big deal at all, the work got done and it looks great. I also appreciated when he came out to give us an estimate on the leaking pipe that he checked our pump in the front yard, without us even asking! I thought that was really nice amd showed me that he's looking out for his clients.We will definitely call McDonagh and Sons in the future.... but hopefully not too soon! :)"

"I hired the company to do a make ready [clean up & prep] on a single apartment in a building which I own in the  town where I live. I needed the property to be cleaned up so I could rent it again.  I have been a landlord for over 20 years & hadn't found a vacated property in such a mess in all my years. They did the complete interior clean-up which took about five hours. And, the complete prep of the property. they took out all the trash & junk, and cleaned up all debris left in the yard. They did such a great job with that I decided to use them for the yard maintenance also. They cleaned all my flowerbeds & got them ready for spring, placed mulch & trimmed the shrubs and flowering trees. On the inside they made everything look brand new! Cleaning the walls, painting, cleaned the carpets & stripped & polished the wood floors...making them look brand new. The appliances that stayed were cleaned inside & out. They even remembered to get all the light fixtures clean for me. Dusted all window seals & doorways. Shine mopped all they tile floors. To top it all off they even gave the bathrooms a fresh clean look by putting a new caulk seal around the tubs, sinks & shower...which gave the bathrooms a fresh face. All in all I found it to be a very stress free pleasant experience. And, I will definitely call on them for the next project because if they could do so well with a nightmare like that I'm sure the less difficult will be equally affordable and easily handled. Everything just looked so nice when they were finished. Thanks, Green Earth

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

Hedge plants are available in almost every size, from seedlings to fully mature, six-foot-tall shrubs. Planting smaller plants is much easier and more cost-effective. However, it can take years for the plants to reach maturity and create a full hedge. Garden centers and specialty retailers sometimes offer three to four-foot wide plants that you can simply plant next to each other for an instant full hedge.

If shade is a priority for you, then panting elm trees is a fine choice. A full mature elm tree has enough aesthetic appeal for some folks that it could add value to your home. 

That said, never plant elm trees too close to your home, sewer line, or sidewalks, as their roots can damage these, which can lead to costly repairs.

The most important thing to put under a rock garden is the appropriate soil. The specific soil needed will depend on the type of plants you’re growing as well as the environment you live in. You can also put non-woven or woven fabric under the rocks to add to the garden's structural stability.

The best time to plant a tree is in the spring, so the roots have time to grow into the surrounding soil before winter sets in. Some people recommend planting in the late fall. However, planting in the spring reduces the stress on the tree, as it will be emerging from dormancy, giving it the full spring and summer ahead to acclimate and put down roots into the soil.

Most bamboo can send roots down two to three feet into the ground. However, when stopping bamboo from spreading, the focus is on the runner roots or rhizomes. These roots are much shallower, staying 12 inches or less from the surface, so they’re easier to find and remove. But if you want to remove the bamboo entirely, you’ll have to dig out the full root system.
