"Joe was responsive and followed-up to my inquiry. We had trees that needed to be removed to prevents collapsing on a very old building's roof and on power lines. Joe was careful and attentive, making sure to not to drop the trees on the roof/power lines. It took some time and finessing but he did it. We will use again for future projects."

"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."

"Tyler did an excellent job Spring cleaning my landscaping beds! Mulch removal and replacement, cutting pampas grass, trimming bushes and plants. He repaired and replaced broken sprinkler heads as well. He communicated when he would be there and how long the job would take and followed up the day before to confirm. Great job at a fair price! Will definitely be contacting Complete Home Landscaping for future work and projects!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.

Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.

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.

Yes, you can technically make a crawl space liveable, but the only way to do so is by converting it into a basement. While some crawl spaces are big enough to walk through and store large items, they lack appropriate insulation and space to be liveable.

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.

Your contractor should handle dust control during the project. It's best to speak with your contractor beforehand to check if they plan to cover your furniture, protect your vents, or use fans to redirect dust. Eliminating drywall dust is a particularly large challenge during construction, so always take this into account during your planning phase.
