"YHS installed french drains, regraded both sides of the house, pulled out 5 over grown bushes, removed ground cover and pea gravel, and level the front yard/laid seed. This was a large job and they did a great job. They were professional and very responsive. The pea gravel on the west side of my yard had caused issues with root growth on the bushes I intended to save. Juan let me know immediately, and luckily all the bushes survived and will be much happier in the dirt that replaced the pea gravel."

"Jose and his crew completely rebuilt our stone patio and wall that was falling apart, and surrounded it with redone landscaping. We are thrilled with the result. Jose has an eye for design. He makes good suggestions and sees possibilities we did not. He used high quality materials and plants and was careful not to damage the surrounding area. I highly recommend him."

"I am located in Kansas City and needed a contractor to fix a drain at a real estate property I am responsible for in Illinois. Without me being onsite AKDK held communication, followed through with preliminary asks, gave me a reasonable quote, and kept up with our office process and was a pleasure to work with the entire way though. Thank you kindly. I was concerned about being so far away and these types of things can quickly go sour. But he restored my trust and got the job done in excellent fashion."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

If you don’t have a crawl space but have a partial basement you want to make deeper, you can expect to spend a little less—between $40,000 and $90,000 on average. However, if you’re not adding new finished square footage, you won’t see much in the way of ROI.

Because decomposed granite is a durable material, a crushed rock or gravel base is optional as long as the DG is properly installed and compacted. However, installing a base is a good idea because it will ensure proper drainage and stability and act as a weed suppressant (although you may still occasionally have to pull weeds). Installing an adequate base can also increase the durability of driveways and walkways. If you forego the paver base or gravel underneath, line the area with landscaping fabric to avoid weeds.

Directional drilling is complex and requires training to use the advanced machinery. It can be challenging to monitor the position of the drill since there’s no direct line of sight. Directional drilling can also be more expensive with a cost of $10 to $30 per linear foot compared to $5 to $12 per linear foot for trenching. 

Yes, an excavation company is the best option for land grading and yard leveling. General landscapers might be able to tackle these projects, but an excavation company will do a better job because they’re used to operating the necessary heavy machinery. Landscapers might opt to do the work manually, which takes much longer and could cost you more in labor fees. Finally, excavation companies will understand local regulations and know when you need permits to legalize the work, while a landscaper might not.

Chipmunks dig their burrows about three feet deep and up to 30 feet long. The entrances can be two inches wide or more. Chipmunks are fiercely protective of their burrows and use them to protect the nuts and seeds they gather for the long winters.
