"We needed some major work on our driveway and had reached out to a company. After almost 5 weeks of almost no communication I gave up and found Anthony. He did such an incredible job. He kept us informed of every step of the way. He spent time going over every thing that was going to be done, how it was to be done and he kept his word. He let us know every day when he would be here and he worked all day. He is intelligent and solved all the issues we were dealing with. We would definitely hire Anthony again. He is fair priced, very personable and does an excellent job. "

PD Plumbing & Restoration is a complete plumbing service. When other company's say "we leave that to the professionals" ,we are the professionals. We are family owned with over 47 years combined experience. We offer true 24 hours a day, 7 days a week plumbing service.

"The first task or replacing a toilette for a remodeled bathroom went excellent, I got more for my money than I spent. They were very professional and courteous. Later when I got them over to assist in stopping a leak for the vanity sink I put in, they came out with no problem and worked for about 10 minutes and installed parts I couldn't get. The sink still leaked. Since then, they've been scheduled twice to come out and work on this "Guaranteed" repair and they've not kept the appointments. I've left many, many, many messages, and if I do get a real person, they hang up. I don't know what the problem is, but I do have numerous plumbing tasks in the future, and at first, I wanted to use them for all the tasks in the old houses and the new one I'm building, but now, I doubt if outside the small claims courtroom I'll ever see them again."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock.

No, a ditch isn’t a trench. A ditch is an open, relatively shallow channel that’s carved out of the ground and used for drainage purposes. In contrast, a trench is a deeper excavation that’s entirely underground. Trenches have many uses, including gas lines, sewage systems, and electrical wiring. Unlike trenches, ditches don’t get filled back in with dirt after they’re dug.

A mini excavator can dig between 5 and 11 feet deep, depending on the type and size of the mini excavator. Mini hydraulic excavators are more powerful and can reach deeper into the earth, but electric models have a more limited range. Mini excavators over two tons in size are also more powerful and able to dig as deep as 11 feet.

The cost to drill a well ranges, but for a well that’s roughly 150 feet deep, you could spend approximately $5,500. However, prices can fluctuate substantially due to factors like geological conditions, local regulations, and variations in drilling methods. For a more precise quote tailored to your location, research local well-drilling professionals in your area.

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.
