"Efrain responded quickly, showed up when he said he would, explained how he would fix the retaining wall (including adding drainage so no future problems arose) and was very communicative. He completed the job when he said he would and it looks wonderful. I would wholeheartedly recommend him based on my experience. Rarely do I find it enjoyable to work with someone on home repair, but he was excellent!"

"I received at least 3 estimates from Angie. Dan from AKDK followed up right away and was the most specific and fair in his estimate. He started on the day he said, came promptly each time he said he was coming, and worked with my tenant's schedule. The men worked hard at several different indoor commercial projects, dealing with unique in- the- field challenges. The project consisted of drop ceilings, new lighting and switches, some wiring, moving walls (drywall and plaster), flooring, electrical, painting, etc. They performed each job well, to my satisfaction. The men cleaned up after each day with their own equipment (previous contractors used some of my tools and broke my vacuum!). I was so pleased, I actually looked for other projects I had been putting off for them to take care of. I highly recommend Dan and AKDK Services. When the job is complete, I will be looking into their cleaning services as well. How refreshing! I have owned several properties over the years and have experienced several service providers, some so happy to get rid of. AKDK stands apart. Thank you, Dan! (I will say I did not know them beforehand and received no renumeration for this review)."

"Great company ! Tyler was a pleasure to work with. He was on time and finished the job when he said he would. Tyler took the time to understand exactly what we were looking to accomplish. I would highly recommend vision 313 for any and all tree / land clearing/ land management projects you have."

"A friend recommended Titan to me for a small excavating job I needed done at my commercial property. I worked with Brian on the project and everything went flawlessly. They showed up on time and did a great job. I was very impressed with the clean up after they finished. Since then, I signed a snow plowing contract to plow all of my properties."

"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!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Most states do not require excavation companies to hold specific licenses, but many require at least a contractor’s license. Additionally, heavy equipment operators require a special commercial equipment license to operate machinery required for excavation. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to confirm that an excavation company you’re considering hiring is fully licensed. You should also make sure that the excavation team is fully insured before allowing them to work on your property.

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.

The physical constraints of hand-drilling a well limit the depth you can achieve. Manually digging with picks and shovels may only lead to shallow wells of up to 60 feet in depth. To reach greater depths, you need more specialized equipment. The diameter of your well and the tools you’re using will determine how far down you can dig.

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.

You do not have to dig footers for a deck as long as it meets local code and holds up to weather in your area. If you live somewhere that experiences high winds and earthquakes, you may need to dig for your deck posts. Deck blocks, post anchors with base plates, and helical pile systems are the three no-dig deck post options you can choose from if local code permits.
