"C2G was excellent during the entire process. they had a quote to my in less than 24 hours and promptly answered my questions when I called them. Once I selected them they were able to schedule the job just a few days out and I could not have been more satisfied with the outcome. The two workers who did the job were knowledgeable and respectful. In over 20 years of home ownership I would have to say this was the best experience I ever had with a home contractor."

"We needed the lawn leveled, dirt added, fertilizer and seed put down. This team was amazing! They started early, didn't stop, and did it with a smile on their face on an extremely hot day. I was also impressed at how they cleaned up after themselves, and recommended other items, like removing some tree branches to ensure sun got it to help the grass grow. I was quoted double by others. They showed up two days after I was quoted, and agreed and got it all done in a day. I will use them for everything I need in the future!!"

"I hired Edison for a small 1,000 sq ft backyard landscaping project in South Boston. He did a great job of listening to what I wanted, making recommendations, explaining different aspects of the project and completing it quickly. He neither oversold nor undersold and responded quickly to my questions with detailed suggestions, but always deferring to my decisions in the end. The finished product was very well-done and an amazing newly landscaped backyard."

"Marc went above and beyond when installing a yard drainage system in our side yard. He was quick to give us a competitive quote, easy to work with, and got a complicated job done fast. I would highly recommend him for homeowners looking to modify the slope and or drainage plan for their plot."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Depth is not a qualifying component of evacuation. Any human-made cut, cavity, or depression in the earth’s surface is considered excavation. The hole from excavation can be any size, shape, or depth. Excavation is used to create foundations, reservoirs, drainage ditches, and roads. Long, narrow excavations are called trenches and are often used for underground utilities.

Almost any kind of home can have a wine cellar or cabinet installed. You’ll need an area where a concrete floor can be put in, along with the necessary insulation, climate control, and ventilation systems. If you think of yourself as an aspiring sommelier, an underground wine cellar may be ideal, but it will cost significantly more. 

What you choose to install really depends on your budget and how many bottles you’re looking to store.

No, you typically cannot use metal detectors to find your sewer line. Most sewer lines are made of non-metallic materials such as PVC, clay, or cast iron, which are not detectable by standard metal detectors. Metal detectors are designed to locate metallic objects, so they won't be effective for identifying the path of a non-metallic sewer line. To locate your sewer line accurately, it's best to use other methods.

In the United States, a depth of 36 inches (three feet) for underground water lines is the accepted industry standard. This depth varies from location to location based on local conditions. In areas with colder winters, they may be buried deeper to prevent frozen well water pipes : This is usually at least six inches below the frost level. The International Plumbing Code calls for a minimum of 12 inches below grade.

It can take several weeks for the ground to settle after removing a tree, and the soil under larger, more mature trees can take months. The deeper the tree has been ground under the soil, the longer it will take to settle. However, this extra depth can help you plant new landscaping sooner because you’ll have more space for fresh soil.
