"Y&C landscaping did several projects in my yard such ans installed a fence, repaired a fence, build a timber playground area using wood chips . They also are replacing sprinkler heads that needed to be moved due to the project. The entire crew was hard-working, respectful and neat. The price was very fair and I am already considering them for a project for next year. Highly recommend."

"Russell and his crew were top notch and professional from estimate to job completion. It's challenging to find a contractor that is flexible, responsive, and expert at what they do and they exceeded all of our expectations. They did a large excavation project on our front yard that set the table for a follow on large landscaping project and they executed the work beyond requirements. His team were even sweeping our driveway that they barely used at the completion of work! We will be using them for upcoming masonry work because we've seen all we need to see from Russell and his excellent crew. It's a rare opportunity for us to speak so glowingly about a contractor or craftsman and we're glad to do it."

"Rony and his team are fantastic. They did a complete overhaul of my lawn from soil to sod, trimmed trees and added hardscape. It looks fantastic. Price was reasonable. Crews were great. Work was done FAST. And they accommodated my last minute changes. These days, every home service pro is super busy and stretched thin. I am so glad I was patient and waited for Rony and his team."

"There are not many left who will do traditional lawn seeding - stripping, loam, seed, and rake. I had almost 1/2 my lawn redone. The work crew was great and responded to requests without having to "call the boss" - we worked it out together how the large areas should be done. It was quite wet so asked them to come back and re-rake and smooth the loam out better - no problem."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Chipmunks dig their burrows about three feet deep and up to 30 feet long. The entrances can be two inches wide or more. Chipmunks are fiercely protective of their burrows and use them to protect the nuts and seeds they gather for the long winters.

Yes. A metal detector is one of the quickest and easiest ways to find your septic tank. However, metal detectors can be too expensive (costing upward of $300 in some cases), and not everyone has a metal detector just lying around. If that’s the case for you, you can also take a long metal rod and poke it into the ground at regular intervals until you hit something—likely your septic tank lid.

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.

If you’re planning to dig on your property, you’ll need to check for underground utility lines. Call the national call-before-you-dig 811 number. Once connected to an operator, you can schedule a site visit to mark underground lines. This way, you won’t accidentally dig into pipes and can cause major (read: costly) issues.

Depending on the severity of the freeze and the method used, thawing frozen underground pipes can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours. Applying heat directly to the pipe using heat tape, infrared lamps, or hot water jetting can speed up the process. However, patience and careful monitoring are key to avoiding pipe damage.
