"Justin, Lauren and crew were great to work with. We had just installed about 320 feet of fence and we were looking to install new beds that lined the perimeter of the entire backyard and front yard fence and fill them in with shrubs/perennials. We were also interested in introducing some hardscape in the form of a casual patio. Justin and Lauren produced a design document/art that showed the design proposal and listed the proposed shrubs and some beautiful irregular bluestone designs and a boulder feature, and that sold us on the project, so we went forward with it. For the entirety of the project Justin, Lauren and crew were all very approachable and forthright. Early on we identified some items that could cost extra, including some ledge. Justin was able to use his contacts with an excavation company to bring in a heavy duty drill and drill out a lot of ledge, giving us a much more level lawn. They were also able to improvise and use the boulders that got drilled out as a beautify boulder lined retaining wall. They are also now doing tree care service, and were able to prune the trees lining our backyard which was something that we've needed to do for a while and have been dragging out feet on. The crew worked long days and managed to get the project done in a little over 2 weeks, considering how many moving parts there were (irrigation fixes, heavy machinery, excavation, sod installation, shrub and perennial installation and boulder/patio installation), it was pretty awesome that they got done so quickly! I would definitely work with H & H again."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Generally, a trenchless sewer line is worth the cost. If your old system needs replacement, trenchless sewer repair or replacement can save you thousands on excavation costs. Every homeowner’s situation is different, but this method is definitely worth it in a lot of cases.

It’s possible to transplant trees as tall as 50 feet when an experienced tree planting service uses the right equipment. However, a tree with a trunk larger than two or three inches in diameter needs to be handled by a professional in order to yield successful transplanting results. Consulting a tree planting professional is the best way to tell if your large tree can be safely transplanted.

No, fire blight does not survive free in the soil but instead is carried through insects, animals, rain, or wind during the spring. Keep in mind that it can also spread on tools, which is why you should always disinfect them in between cuts.

Digging a bush up by the roots is the most natural DIY method for removing a bush stump. Start by identifying the shrub type and revealing its roots. Cut the shrub to its base and loosen the soil, ensuring no utility lines are nearby. Optionally, treat the base with herbicide, then dig around the roots and cut a circle around the shrub using various tools. Dig a trench, cut the base of the root ball, and finally fill the hole to prevent regrowth. This thorough process ensures complete removal without damaging surrounding areas.

Trenching and boring are two distinct methods for installing underground utilities. Trenching involves digging a channel using equipment like an excavator, trencher, backhoe, or shovel. While it is a simpler process, it causes significant disruption to the surface, landscaping, and surrounding ecosystems.

Boring, also known as directional boring, is a less invasive alternative that uses a drill to create a tunnel for utility lines without disturbing the surface. This method is more precise and is ideal for installations that need to go underneath buildings, roads, or bodies of water. Although boring is less disruptive, it is generally more expensive than trenching.
