"Let me just say up until now, I was happy with this company. This is what happened to me. It all centers around a transformer, we provided for the tech in case he needed it. Well, it turns out he installed it improperly and it blew the transformer and the new controller. So now they gaslight us , and proceed to tell me, that I said my husband installed it, no I did not ever say that. I said that it had been replaced once and it was a new part. So one thousand dollars later, here I am, being called a liar, and having words put in my mouth, plausible deniability I guess. Anyway, I advise if you provide parts, document, take pictures and or video, and have the tech sign a list of parts installed. Now, I have totally lost trust in anyone I hire to do work on my home, thanks for that. And I will now have to find a new company to work with near me, and that is not easy to find. I got screwed by another company, that's another story"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.

Drilled wells have a pipe sticking up that’s covered in a plastic or metal casing. On the other hand, a dug well will look like a big hole in the ground and is more similar to what you’d see in a fantasy or Western movie. If you want to be sure, contact the city for documentation on your property’s construction and excavation history. 

Above ground pools are not buried in the ground. Typically, above ground pools are semi-permanent. One reason they’re more affordable is that you don’t have to dig for an inground pool and pour concrete or another material. However, you can choose to install a semi inground pool, which is a hybrid between the two.

Professional installers often include a deep layer of crushed gravel under permeable pavers to allow more runoff to soak through into the soil below. Many installations will include multiple layers of gravel, with coarser aggregate at the base and finer aggregate that sits on top of that bottom layer. Above the gravel, you’ll often find coarse sand that helps reduce paver shifting over time. Some permeable paver designs include a water collection system set into the gravel layer to route runoff to a safe area for disposal.
