"Jon was AMAZING, and our backyard has been transformed from a dog-centric wasteland to a place for entertaining and relaxation. Jon is an artist who has great ideas about how to transform your space into something functional AND beautiful. He is a perfectionist with an eye for the small details. He is also extremely patient; our ideas and goals developed over the course of the project. He was flexible and always contributed great ideas and feedback based on his many years of experience. Working with Jon was the highlight of our summer-- not only because we have enjoyed our new outdoor space but also because we truly enjoyed spending time with him.

15 employees. No subs. Cost is determined by the job. No travel charges. No service charge. May contact through e-mail.

"I called them for an estimate back in March 2025. Decided to go with them after getting multiple quotes. I called to schedule their services in July and for the last four months I had to call them to see when they would be coming out. The last time I spoke to them was October 27. When they were supposed to come out and do the driveway but no one ever came and I got no phone call. I had to call them the next day and they said that they were short staffed and weather was an issue for them. They said that they would call me back in a few days to schedule another date and that was several weeks ago. I have attempted to call several times to get a driveway scheduled and they can?t call me back but somehow when I have called them, they?re able to change their voicemail. Not a professional company and greatly lacks communication. "

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Yes, chipmunk holes may have two or more entrances. Chipmunks can create an entire network of burrows. Having multiple entrances makes it easier for them when trying to escape from a predator, such as a snake, or if an entrance collapses due to flooding. Each entrance leads to the nesting chamber underground, which is where the chipmunk spends the majority of its time sleeping.

Trenchers can dig holes as narrow as 4 inches or as wide as 4 feet. Check the specifications of the trencher you rent or buy to determine how wide it will cut into the landscape. Better yet, let the excavation company know how wide you’d like the trench to be, and they can help you choose the right trencher for the job (or do it for you).

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.

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

It’s possible to transplant trees as tall as 50 feet when an experienced tree planting service uses the right equipment. However, a tree with a trunk larger than two or three inches in diameter needs to be handled by a professional in order to yield successful transplanting results. Consulting a tree planting professional is the best way to tell if your large tree can be safely transplanted.
