"Would be tough to find another company that works so hard with great pricing and top notch work. They installed a paver patio with a tv wall with a fire pit and sitting wall. They also added in a walkway with landscaping and sodded the rest of the yard. Their work is phenomenal! I can’t say enough about the crew but they put their all into your project to make sure you’re very happy!"

Customers say: Quality work

"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."

"Victor Toro's men came this morning and did a wonderful job digging up old evergreens. They cleaned up after with a leaf blower and broom. I ran to Home Depot and bought four small bushes and they planted them in the place of the old bushes. They are reasonably priced, polite hardworking men. I will be hiring them again!! So thankful to find, through Angi, a good reliable landscaping company."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

A crawl space can be as little as 42 inches below the grade of your house, but this is not always recommended in flood-prone areas. At a minimum, there must be at least 16 inches of clearance between the ground and the floor joists to access the space in an emergency.

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. 

Skunk digging looks like a series of small, cone-shaped holes on a lawn or around the perimeter of a home, porch, deck, or shed. The holes that skunks dig when searching for grubs tend to be no more than four inches in diameter and may be up to four inches deep.

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.

To locate an underground downspout, you should start by identifying where the above ground gutter drains. Look for an entry point, such as a pipe or elbow leading into the ground. Follow the surface path for signs like depressions, landscaping disruptions, or wet areas after rain. You can use a metal detector or plumber’s snake to trace the pipe underground. For deeper pipes, a professional locator tool or camera inspection may be necessary. Visual markers or utility maps can also guide the search.
