Tom the owner is class act. I really felt comfortable with this guy because he explains everything very well. My first experience with them went well that I called them again. My basement was leaking pretty bad, probably had $15,000 worth of damage.
Tom came out on a Sunday, we walked around the house and he explained to me why my concrete walls were cracking, showed me gutter problems, my grade was too low and water drained towards house, basement well drains were plugged, basement wells were too short.
Tom and his team dug around house with a bobcat type skidster, they patched cement walls, put tar on, installed vapor barrier sheets on walls, cleaned down to tile, added drain cloth and rock, installed a tube to surface so a Plummer can scope my tiles, removed short window wells and installed taller wells. He raised the grade of the ground on both sides of the house about 6 inches so the water will drain away from the house. The job took a couple days, they cleaned up nicely, Tom made recommendation and did some extra work for a minimal extra amount of money to do the job right. Tom told me if I ever had any more leaks call him but he thinks this should do the job.
UPDATE: Quite a bit of snow melted, usually water is gushing in the basement, this time my basement was dry as a fresh diaper! :) Nice work Tom

Hired to put a driveway flood drain in - concrete work is AWFUL - looks like a 3 yr old applied it with their hands randomly all over. Already crumbling apart. Highly doubt the drain will do what its supposed too. Does not appear to be pitched properly at key point. Next rainfall...
Do not hire. Unprofessional. Came to my home twice to work on a clogged drain. First team tapped a hole into the line and did a partial clearing. The second guy, who by the way mentioned that he wasn’t even a plumber at the end of his work, tapped a hole into a different section of the same...

The concrete floor along the wall and a trench to my existing sump pump had to be dug up and drain tile etc put in. This was done. The concrete that was relayed sloped almost two inches. This would make it impossible to put base boards back up. Mr Burke was contacted and set up an appointment...

FNJ Landscaping Services has long been leading valued clients to understand the chance of having that dream design for their outdoor spaces for many years.
"The quality of the work was poor, the sod was laid and not rolled out which is preventing the sod from catching and causing the lawn to look uneven, the grass seed/ dirt was spread sporadically over the front lawn without focusing on the bare spots which was the ultimate goal of the seeding. (for treatment/solution to holes in the lawn to promote grass growth in those areas.) Also there was very little grass seeds or dirt spread to back lawn. I brought this to Kevin's attention and he said he would take care of it and that he ran out of dirt, also his response to my calls or e-mails was not timely or not at all. I called and text him on several occasions requesting that he comes to complete the job and he never showed up to complete the job as promised. I also feel the additional cost he charged ($1500) to lay 4 to 5 rolls of sod for 20 ft. x 24 ft. area (480 sq. ft.) , was over priced and he took advantage of me and I am a victim of price gouging. His initial quote he gave me was 3400 (for the seeding, retainer wall removal, aeration, power raking, cutting the grass, plant 1 bush) but I just noticed he has put 3500 on the contract so even in that instance I paid him $100 more than what was agreed upon. The contract that he wanted me to sign was very extensive and "construction focused" and did not address everything we had discussed for this project. It basically was an agreement to ensure payment and cover himself if I did not pay. When I noticed the contract did not list line by line description of the scope of the work I brought that to his attention and asked him to include what the job would intel ( work order) listing what we had talked about. He told me he would bring it when he came to do the job. I didn't receive anything, but he had already came to to start the job. By the time he finally came to start the job I had received a warning from the village due to my grass had grown more then 5 inches waiting for him to come and take care of cutting the grass when he was to start the project. The overall communication and follow up with this company is not good and they do not provide detailed scope of work orders even when requested."

FAQs for french drain service projects in Kouts, IN
Landscapers typically charge $25 to $50 per person per hour, which equals around $50 to $100 per hour for a two-person crew. These rates can vary depending on your location, the size of staff needed for the job, and overall job type. For example, a larger crew will be needed for structural additions and hardscaping versus planting flowers.
When it comes to landscapers, licensing laws vary. Landscaping architects are required to be licensed in all 50 states, whereas traditional landscaping contractors are not typically required to hold a certification. You’ll likely be working with a landscaping contractor for most residential projects. If you are redesigning your whole yard or adding in hardscape features, you will work with a landscaping architect at some point during the project. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local landscaper guidelines.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
The cost to install a drain pipe is $600 on average, but the total can range between $150 and $2,000. Some cost factors that influence your project price include the type of drain, the area’s accessibility, the proximity of existing drain lines, and whether you’re installing a new drain or replacing an old one. Replacing the p-trap or s-trap under a single fixture will usually cost around $150, while replacing a main drain pipe can cost well over $2,000.
Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.

We highly recommend leaving the work of replacing drain pipes to a professional plumber. Drain pipes are a key part of your plumbing system, and making mistakes during the installation or even using the wrong size pipes for your specific fixture can lead to an elevated risk of leaks and clogs. Additionally, drain pipes prevent harmful sewer gas from entering your home, so hiring a professional plumber is essential to keeping the risk of leaks and clogs low and avoid reducing your indoor air quality.

From average costs to expert advice, get all the answers you need to get your job done.
Drain pipe replacement costs depend on a variety of factors. Use this guide to learn how much drain pipe replacements cost based on the pipe’s material, location, and more.
We break down the cost to remove bamboo, which is slightly higher than other forms of tree removal. It's a difficult DIY task because of bamboo's hardy underground roots.
While similar, comparing dirt versus soil comes down to what's inside the material, its usefulness, and how it performs, depending on how you intend to use it.
