"Junior and his crew did a wonderful job on my yard at a reasonable price. The yard needed to be flattened, top soil added and sod installed. The job was done when promised, nothing was left for me to clean up, and it looks great! High points: Communication, professionalism, friendliness and skill. Highly recommend RRR LLC. I will definitely use them again for various household projects."

"J.E.M Landscaping did an incredible job on my front and back yard for the final cut and clean-up before winter. Everything looks so neat and refreshed! The lawn is perfectly trimmed, the edges are sharp, and they made sure all the leaves and debris were completely cleared out. They were professional, efficient, and clearly take pride in their work. It feels great heading into winter knowing my yard is in such great shape. I highly recommend J.E.M Landscaping to anyone looking for dependable, high-quality landscaping services!"

"George is a amazing guy. Very punctual, says what he is doing very clearly and more importantly performs quality work. He will give a clear estimate and is flexible with any acceptable changes that we did not initially think abojt. I did my kitchen refinishing and some basement demolition work through him: both of these turned out very good and I am satisfied with Georges service. I will be repeating for any future needs"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

To drill a shallow well, you may be able to use a drive well point. This is a tapered point that is driven into the ground. A drill bit at the end of PVC pipe may be another option to consider. A lot of the cost depends on what tools are available near you.

A walk-behind trencher can cut through roots as long as they’re not too thick, making a project much easier than digging with a shovel and other hand tools. Assess your terrain and the number of trees in the surrounding area to determine if a walk-behind trencher will ease the job. Digging a trench by hand is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive. 

It takes one hour to dig a 10-foot trench by hand. Use a trenching shovel with a sharp tip and a long head. Plan for more time if your soil is heavy or rocky. Consider renting a trencher if you’re digging a long or deep trench or if you have challenging soil or terrain. 

Concrete blocks are the cheapest way to base a shed. However, the space in between allows critters to go under, burrow, and even damage your shed’s frame. For a more pest-proof option, consider building a shed base with gravel or paver stones. Both options are fairly affordable and easy enough for a DIY project. For gravel, you can build a wooden frame to contain the loose material.

Most residential basements are 8 to 10 feet deep. You can dig deeper depending on building codes, but it does become more difficult. You’ll likely need to install stronger foundation walls and additional supports to handle the increased load. Depending on the water table, you may also need a water management system. Clay soil can support a deeper foundation than sandy soil. A structural engineer will be able to tell you the maximum, feasible depth.
