"The planters I ordered are beautiful and well built. I purchased the smaller than 5 gallon bucket planters for my ferns for the front porch. I was having trouble with the wind blowing the plants over and the planters gave them some stability as well as beauty. I was able to put the pots the ferns came in right in the planter without replanting anything. Quick and easy! Thank you for a job well done!"

"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

Most residential basements are 8 to 10 feet deep. You can dig deeper depending on building codes, but it does become more difficult. You’ll likely need to install stronger foundation walls and additional supports to handle the increased load. Depending on the water table, you may also need a water management system. Clay soil can support a deeper foundation than sandy soil. A structural engineer will be able to tell you the maximum, feasible depth.

It’s possible to transplant trees as tall as 50 feet when an experienced tree planting service uses the right equipment. However, a tree with a trunk larger than two or three inches in diameter needs to be handled by a professional in order to yield successful transplanting results. Consulting a tree planting professional is the best way to tell if your large tree can be safely transplanted.

How deep your septic system needs to be into the ground depends on several factors. In extremely cold environments, the tank needs to rest below the maximum frost line, which can be up to six or eight feet deep. The standard burying depth for most systems is between a few inches and four feet below ground level. Depth can also depend on the slope of the landscaping and other property variables. 

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.

A walk-behind trencher can cut through roots as long as they’re not too thick, making a project much easier than digging with a shovel and other hand tools. Assess your terrain and the number of trees in the surrounding area to determine if a walk-behind trencher will ease the job. Digging a trench by hand is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive.
