Customers say: Quick response

"We were overwhelmed with downed trees during the July 2019 tornados. Neighbors had Marcos and his crew cleaning up their yard so we inquired about his service. Marcos gave us a decent and honest price-no gouging! His crew was non-stop-we had to keep asking them to take a break in the heat. Amazing! Then we had to have Marcos come back a month later for some "leaning" trees that need to come down. Again-great pricing-immediate service. Now, we wouldn't consider anyone else but Majick Landscaping!"

"Victor Landscaping is by far the best in the mid Cape area. We have used him exclusively for two years now, for our spring cleanup / mulching, fall cleanup, and lawn mowing / landscaping. After several weeks last summer seeing our yard, our neighbors soon dropped their landscaping companies and switched to Victor as well. Couldn?t recommend more highly. Affordable, dependable, and always does an excellent job."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

If you have a broken sprinkler pipe underground, there will be some signs you can easily spot to locate it and take action. These include leaks, water spouts, flooding, consistently damp areas on your lawn, low water pressure, and grass around the sprinkler head that’s taller and darker than anywhere else in the yard. 

If there are no obvious signs of a broken pipe, you can use tools such as water leak mics, leak noise loggers, audio devices that record leaks, and acoustic testing links. 

Broken pipes can lead to uneven watering, plant damage, and higher utility bills. The longer you wait to fix them the more the repair cost may be.

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.

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.

Water lines are buried at various depths, depending on the type of line. For example, most sprinkler lines are buried between four and 12 inches underground. On the other hand, water mains usually sit between one and 3 feet below ground. However, they can go even deeper in cold climates to prevent freezing.

Consultation with the local government helps identify necessary permits, avoid project delays or legal issues, and protect project integrity.
