"We had a wonderful experience working with DiVerdi Site Solutions. Our property had a very wooded and uneven side and back yard that felt unusable, and we weren’t sure where to begin. Rob was incredibly helpful from the start—he took the time to walk the property with us, explain what was possible, and help us identify the best way to accomplish our goals. He communicated clearly throughout the entire process and made sure every step was followed through exactly as planned. The transformation has been amazing. Rob cleared and excavated the heavily wooded side yard and turned it into a safe, open, and usable space where our kids can play. He also leveled off the back yard, which is now functional and enjoyable instead of sloped and difficult to use. Rob was professional, efficient, and respectful of our property. The quality of his work exceeded our expectations, and the end result has made a huge difference in how we use and enjoy our yard. I would highly recommend!"

"Rafael and his crew did an outstanding job getting our yard ready for the winter. The yard is spotless, they trimmed plants, even cut grass that we hadn’t asked them to do. Fast, very efficient, and good people to work with."

"Blue Costa Landscape & Construction, LLC installed a concete border around a storage area and build a draining system in the backyard. We had an idea of what we wanted, but they had some good recommendations which significantly enhanced the overall project we had in mind."

"This fall we replaced our house foundation. Amazonia Landscape did the excavation work and coordinated the concrete work. We had several home improvement projects but Amazonia Landscape was the only contractor who started the project on time. The team finished the work quickly regardless of difficulties. One day there was a shower all day. I thought Andre will not come, but when I got home at 6:30 pm, the excavation was almost done (the team were still working in rain). Some of the digging work was under existing house which was temporarily supported by lally columns. The team did a careful job in this dangerous area and didn't cause any damage our house. Andre always responded to our requests. He brought a pump to remove the water under the ground. I said the pump was not quiet enough. The next day he bought a new electric pump that doesn't produce any noise. He also gave me a big discount for the additional work (demolition, disposal, and house reinforcement) that was not included in the original contract. I would highly recommend Amazonia Landscape because of their hard work, professionalism, and timely response to customer's requests."

"The best money we've spent on our home outside - went from overgrown & overwhelming - to a magazine cover. A true transformation. I now understand all the 5star reviews - he works all jobs himself, w/ a little help from immediate family (no crew). He loves what he does, takes the time to do things right, listens / checks-in to be sure we are happy with decisions along the way. I went with every suggestion made. Eventually, I gave full reign with a 'surprise me' response to his suggestions :-). I would trust him to do any landscaping job. Would recommend to my mother! I now LOVE pulling into our driveway now - looks stunning!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

If you don’t wish to dig it out and convert it into a finished basement, you can still encapsulate your crawl space to protect it from damage for an average cost of $5,500. Finishing a crawl space beyond this isn’t really worthwhile, as the low ceilings mean you won’t be able to use the area as living space.

Excavations take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time it takes to excavate an area depends on the size of the area, the type of soil, the type of excavator, and even the time of year, since winter can make digging up the ground more difficult.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

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.

Downspouts should be buried at least 5 to 10 feet away from your foundation. This can vary depending on your local building codes, soil type, and property slope. The main goal is to ensure water is directed away from your foundation.
