"They came out quickly to provide an estimate and got the work done within a few weeks. They did a great job and Ed & Tim are great guys. Any time we reached out with a question they got back to us quickly and answered all our questions. I would recommend them without hesitation."

"Blend and his team finished a big demo & haul away job in half a day. We had a 30+ year old deck and gazebo with wood rot in our backyard that desperately needed to go. He and his guys dismantled everything down to the soil and left without a trace of debris. Plus they carefully preserved our electrical connection. I highly recommend the Ferreti team for demo and junk removal, they were friendly and communicative throughout the job as well. 5 stars!"

"We are very pleased with the work. Oscar did a great job in coming up with a beautiful 3D design for the patio and helping in selecting the right material. The crew was very professional and hardworking and they completed within the timeframe that was set. Great communication through the project and cleanliness post project. I would highly recommend them for brick and pavers projects."

"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

Yes, you can install a trench drain if you already have concrete in your yard or garden. While it can complicate some aspects of the job and slightly run up the cost, it is doable. Residential trench drains can be easily retrofitted to outdoor areas with concrete without having to remove excessive amounts of your patio, pool area, or decorative walkways.

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

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.

Errors in site preparation can lead to structural failures or appear costly midway. Professionals ensure detailed, reliable home base development layouts.

Slab foundations are more affordable than crawl spaces because they require minimal excavation, as the slab sits directly on the ground or on footers that only sink a few feet into the ground. Crawl spaces require excavation of the entire footprint of the home to several feet below the surface. Not only does that mean higher labor costs, but more materials are necessary for the concrete foundation walls.
