"I originally hired Travers to remove an old pool that was in disrepair when I bought my house. From there I tacked on other projects including tree removal, brush/overgrowth clearing, and regrading and seeding. Each project came out exceptional. Travers will be my first call if I need more work done in the future."

"If you are looking for a tree removal company that combines skill, professionalism, and integrity, we highly recommend BSJ Tree Service. We hired them to remove 16 trees from our property including full stump removal. From the first contact they were responsive, professional and knowledgeable, they provided thoughtful advice about which trees should be removed or pruned and which ones were safe or worth keeping. The crew worked efficiently and the clean up was thorough- no unwanted debris left behind. They exceeded our expectations."

"John communicated very well during the whole job and always asked if we were happy. He has the skill and ability to do the level of detail a custom deck requires. He and his crew were always here when they said they would be and they finished the job on time. My new composite deck looks great and we would definitely hire this pro again. The neighbors watched what he can do and have also asked John to price their home improvement projects."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

To locate an underground downspout, you should start by identifying where the above ground gutter drains. Look for an entry point, such as a pipe or elbow leading into the ground. Follow the surface path for signs like depressions, landscaping disruptions, or wet areas after rain. You can use a metal detector or plumber’s snake to trace the pipe underground. For deeper pipes, a professional locator tool or camera inspection may be necessary. Visual markers or utility maps can also guide the search.

Yes, an excavation company is the best option for land grading and yard leveling. General landscapers might be able to tackle these projects, but an excavation company will do a better job because they’re used to operating the necessary heavy machinery. Landscapers might opt to do the work manually, which takes much longer and could cost you more in labor fees. Finally, excavation companies will understand local regulations and know when you need permits to legalize the work, while a landscaper might not.

Most professional excavation teams will charge between $8 and $15 per cubic yard. Calculate the cost by finding the volume of your pool—width x length x depth—and dividing it by 27. Then, multiply the price by the cubic yards from your equation. Budget for complications like a rocky lawn, hard-to-access pool area, or high local labor prices.

Preparation involves site assessment, clearing debris, grading surfaces, and compacting soil to support stable construction.

Your contractor should handle dust control during the project. It's best to speak with your contractor beforehand to check if they plan to cover your furniture, protect your vents, or use fans to redirect dust. Eliminating drywall dust is a particularly large challenge during construction, so always take this into account during your planning phase.
