"He was very easy to work with. He saw the vision of what was needed and did it to perfection. He is very fair with his estimate and stayed with price quoted. Ask several times durning job if it was to our satisfaction and he also did a couple of other things that were not on his list but made the place look better. We are so happy with him that we have ask him to come back after the build and finish off the yard with seeding and whatever else is needed. ."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

If you’re planning to dig on your property, you’ll need to check for underground utility lines. Call the national call-before-you-dig 811 number. Once connected to an operator, you can schedule a site visit to mark underground lines. This way, you won’t accidentally dig into pipes and can cause major (read: costly) issues.

Yes, most services include site leveling and foundation work. Confirm with your contractor for specifics.

Hardscaping often requires preparation of the ground in the area where the feature is being installed. This can include digging, compacting, and leveling the soil, ensuring adequate drainage, and removing any existing plants. The extent of preparation needed will depend on the type and size of the hardscaping feature being installed.

Completion time ranges from days to weeks, contingent on project size, environmental conditions, and regulatory approvals.
