"John came out to my house and listened to what I wanted done. He and his crew graded and resloped my land and got it ready for me to put in a retaining wall, fence, walkway, stairs and seed. I was more than happy with his work. It took him and his crew about 5 to 6 hours to do the work. I was so happy I had to post the before and after pictures on facebook. You'd never believe it was the same land. Thank you so much."

"Jared did an amazing job and was very thorough in his work. He prepared the site work for a retaining wall behind a newly installed pool and the attention to details in where he placed the drainage was perfect. The following week we had a tremendous amount of rain and it kept all that water well away from the pool. Took a lot of pride in the work he did for us and can not wait to work with him again on our next project!"

"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."

"Reached out to Outdoor X after getting a couple of other quotes for General Landscaping. Starling was prompt in returning my call and was clear about the Who/What/When and of course the Price. Very reasonable compared to some of the other Quotes/Terms that I was encountering. I gave Starling the go ahead for the work done. Was scheduled for 6/3/2024, I got up, went to work, came home after 4:30PM to a property I didn't recognize. Immaculate work, cleaned up the property. Definitely will be using Outdoor X for any future landscaping projects. Thank You Starling & the Crew of Outdoor X"

"This company was very thoughtful to our neighbor and stopped blowing leaves until another day due to wind conditions. I would recommend them. They came in under price and the clean up was excellent. I will use them again when the time comes."

"Minor came and gave a free estimate and when he returned a few days later, he was prompt and very professional. When the job was complete he removed all the debris and trucked it away and he left it cleaner than it was before."

"We recently hired Zacarias Tree & Landscaping to remove four very large ash trees from our properties, and we couldn't have been more impressed. The work required a crane because the trees were close to our homes, neighboring properties, stone walls and gardens. From start to finish, the crew was professional, organized and extremely skilled. It was clear that everyone knew exactly what to do, and they worked together with remarkable precision to protect the surrounding property while safely removing the trees. They arrived when they said they would, worked efficiently and left the property clean when the job was finished. We were so pleased with their work that we will also ask them to return to plant new trees. If you're looking for a company that is experienced, careful and takes pride in doing the job right, I highly recommend Zacarias Tree & Landscaping."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

The average cost for pool excavation is $2,500. This cost can range from $450 to $4,500, depending on the pool shape and size, time of year, and any need to move buried utilities. 

When excavating for your pool, you might have to move existing utilities. You can expect to pay an additional $15 to $25 per linear foot to move gas lines. To move a septic system, it’ll cost an additional $2,000 to $20,000. A pool that is 10 feet by 12 feet averages $450 to excavate, and a 20-foot-by-40-foot pool averages $3,020.

If you don’t have a crawl space but have a partial basement you want to make deeper, you can expect to spend a little less—between $40,000 and $90,000 on average. However, if you’re not adding new finished square footage, you won’t see much in the way of ROI.

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.

If you don’t wish to dig it out and convert it into a finished basement, you can still encapsulate your crawl space to protect it from damage for an average cost of $5,500. Finishing a crawl space beyond this isn’t really worthwhile, as the low ceilings mean you won’t be able to use the area as living space.

Underground downspouts refer to the sections of downspout extensions that lead away from your home and gutter system. While they cost more than traditional extensions, they can provide several benefits, such as less frequent damage and no need to move them for lawn care tasks. Whether they're worth it or not depends on your budget at installation time and how much convenience they'll add to your situation.
