"Terry and his crew arrived ready to tackle many challenges that came with building my new deck. Faced with constant rain, more than a few changes to plans, and difficult terrain to navigate his equipment around, Terry never told me he couldn't do something. Creative Landscape is exactly that, "CREATIVE"! My new, upper and lower deck are finished. Terry was able to take mine and my wife's vision and build it. I have much more work to be done still. Creative Landscape will be doing all of my landscaping work."

"Totally satisifed with the project. Discovered the same crew worked on a deck of a member of the church I attend. Talked to him, and he was also totally satisfied with his project. Although there were weather issues, we worked through that and the deck turned out more than expected. I have and will continue to recomend this contractor to anyone who is in search of a general contractor. I had a couple of small projects that need done other than this main one, and they accomidated me with no issues. Hard workers, cared about the finished project as much as I did. Thank you."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The easier way to find buried sprinkler lines is to use the plan from the professionals who installed the system. If you don’t have professional plans, listen for running water on your lawn when you turn on the system. You may also spot wet areas, giving you an idea of where the heads are. Once you find the sprinkler heads, you’ll likely be able to connect the dots between them, revealing the system below.

Digging out a basement takes anywhere from a few days to a few months. Most projects take at least two to five weeks, but it could take several months if you encounter obstacles. This project takes longer if you need to brace or raise your home before the excavation. Digging out a basement in new construction can take as little as three days.

Trenching is a specific kind of digging. Trenching means digging a depression in the earth that’s deeper than it is wide, often with heavy machinery. Digging refers to any kind of removal of earth in order to create a human-made depression, hole, or cut in the earth’s surface. You can dig with big tools or even with just a hand shovel.

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 should dig 3 to 6 inches deep for plastic edging. Dig as wide as you need to fit your plastic edging into it—2 inches is usually sufficient.
