"Indy at Golden Willow listened to what we needed and worked promptly to share plans and reasonable estimate. The work was done within a week, and I was surprised to come home to see all done within a day, cleaned up, and exactly as we discussed."

"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

You can dig 60 to 80 linear feet by hand per day depending on the depth. Digging a 100-foot trench by hand will take you two work days, but it can take longer if you have heavy or rocky soil. If you’re digging a deep trench or one that’s over 100 feet, consider renting a mechanical trencher, such as a walk-behind or ride-on, or calling a pro for help. 

If you don’t wish to dig it out and convert it into a finished basement, you can still encapsulate your crawl space to protect it from damage for an average cost of $5,500. Finishing a crawl space beyond this isn’t really worthwhile, as the low ceilings mean you won’t be able to use the area as living space.

Yes, you can excavate in the winter, but it might make the job harder. Frozen ground is harder to dig, and snow or ice can make the work site more hazardous. A contractor may need special equipment and techniques, such as ground-thawing methods, to break through frozen soil. Although winter excavation is possible, it may take longer and be more costly than excavating during warmer months.

Above ground pools are not buried in the ground. Typically, above ground pools are semi-permanent. One reason they’re more affordable is that you don’t have to dig for an inground pool and pour concrete or another material. However, you can choose to install a semi inground pool, which is a hybrid between the two.

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.
