"I had used Leisure Lawn in the past for approximately 10 years or more and had to stop due to my finances. My lawn started looking really bad and I called them to start up service again. I was thrilled up until now. I had a burned spot in my lawn, the large area does not have the best soil, but green grass was growing there previously. I called to ask for someone to come out to check on it. The gentleman came (unannounced,) I was told it was because of my poor soil conditions. I called back a few days later to talk about this again as other spots have appeared. I was told the same thing. These other spots are in the middle of my healthy lawn that has great soil. I was told to look around at my neighbors lawns, they are the same!! (are you kidding me?) Well, they are not the same and the only difference are the chemicals used on my lawn!! He said the rain this weekend will fix it. If it needs “fixed” then there is something wrong!! I asked for something to be done and he refused. I asked to speak with the owners and he said they were not available for two weeks. My frustration is not only with my lawn, but with the attitude of the a general manager just throwing away my loyal business after so many years. If my business isn’t valuable enough to negotiate a solution, then my decision to take my business elsewhere was a good one."

Land Surveying questions, answered by experts

Prior to excavation, you should prepare the dig site and call 311 before you sign anything.

To get your site ready for excavation, you should move anything in the area that isn’t affixed to the land. You can save money on the excavation by removing hardscaping, including walkways, decks, concrete patios, and paver patios.

Before you carry out any digging, you should call 311 to confirm that there are no utility lines running through your excavation site. Skipping this step could lead to severe injury and property damage if your excavator hits a water, sewage, or gas line.

You will find a collection of licensed land surveyors in your area. Your real estate agent or construction manager may also be able to recommend a trusted professional. When speaking with prospective pros in your area, ask the land surveyor if they are licensed in the state, have liability insurance, and can quote you a fee before starting.

The small lines on the tape measure either indicate inches, fractions of an inch, or centimeters and millimeters. On the imperial unit side (aka the inches side), the longest lines indicate inches, followed by the next shortest lines that indicate a half-inch, and then the quarter, eighth, and sixteenth-inch. On the metric side, the lines break down meters, centimeters, and millimeters.

There are a couple of ways you can determine the depth of your well. One method is to use a device called a well sounder. This tool has a long measuring tape containing a sensor to alert you once the end reaches the water. 

Or you can DIY it by using a long tape measure with a half-filled bottle of water attached to it. Lower the tape measure into your well. Once you feel tension on the tape, you’ll know the bottle has reached your static water level. This will give you an approximate idea of your well’s depth.

Soil testers and licensed excavators are often the professionals you hire if you need a perc test. In some cases, structural engineers will also be able to conduct the test for you. In many municipalities, you’ll need your professional on-site to dig and fill the holes with water, as well as a representative from your local building department or health department. That representative is the individual who will determine whether your test passes or fails.
