"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."

"Sasha Pilyavskiy and the team at H&H Landscaping did a stellar job on our very complex, double patio and hill gardens project. They were highly professional, very accommodating, and easy to work with through out the project. They really listened to us, gave us exactly what we wanted, and even taught me about the plants and their care. Sasha's degrees in art, design, and ecological landscaping, and his extensive knowlege of plants made him the perfect designer for our challenging project. Sasha wrote detailed plans and drawings explaining exactly how they would convert our steep hill into curved edge patios which fit organically into the hill on two different levels. Highly skilled stonesmiths created a curved wall (despite a heat wave) which supported the patios and looked similar to the very old stone walls we had nearby. The H&H team also created an S-shaped stone staircase which suited the curve of the hill beautifully. The beautiful plants H&H helped us choose are thriving!"

"I discovered WS Builders Corp through Angie's List while searching for a contractor to renovate our family room. Our project involved modernizing a space dominated by an outdated brick wood-burning fireplace and 1980s-style built-ins. We aimed to transform it with a horizontal electric fireplace, custom fluted built-ins for the TV, hidden shelving for electronics, and stylish open shelving with LED lighting. Prior quotes from other contractors seemed inflated, but when I connected with Wladimir from WS Builders, he provided a fair estimate that aligned perfectly with my expectations and the materials' costs. We promptly signed the contract, and work began without delay. Wladimir estimated about 35 days for completion, and impressively, the team finished in just 30 days despite some minor design tweaks along the way. The craftsmanship displayed by Jose, Wladimir's masterful carpenter, was nothing short of exceptional. He meticulously crafted everything from drawers to shelves to the elegant fluted details above the fireplace, transforming our wall into a true work of art. Jorge, the electrician, skillfully installed the LED lighting and concealed all cables behind the TV, maintaining a clean and polished look throughout. The painter ensured a flawless finish, meticulously covering the ceiling, walls, and newly installed shelves. The transformation from the initial state to the finished result is remarkable; even my 18-year-old son commented that it resembles a page out of a design magazine, and I wholeheartedly agree. I extend my deepest gratitude to Wladimir and his team for not only bringing my vision to life but surpassing all expectations. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to quality craftsmanship are unparalleled. Encouraged by their exceptional work, we promptly engaged WS Builders for a deck project following the family room renovation. I confidently recommend WS Builders Corp to anyone seeking superior craftsmanship at a fair price and delivered precisely on schedule. Wladimir's responsiveness and clear communication throughout the project further underscore their reliability and commitment to customer satisfaction. I eagerly look forward to collaborating with WS Builders on future projects and have no doubt in recommending them as a company you can trust for outstanding results."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The average cost of excavation is approximately $3,200, with typical projects ranging from $500 to $15,000. Depending on the contractor, you may be charged between $50 and $200 per cubic yard or an hourly rate of $40 to $180 for an excavation specialist. The total cost is influenced by several factors, including the project size, the amount of soil to be removed, and the soil's condition. Hard soil, tree roots, or excessive rocks and clay can increase the price, potentially adding $200 to $1,200 to the final bill. Other factors that can drive up costs include the presence of nearby structures that complicate the work or tight spaces that require manual excavation instead of heavy machinery.

Depending on the severity of the freeze and the method used, thawing frozen underground pipes can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours. Applying heat directly to the pipe using heat tape, infrared lamps, or hot water jetting can speed up the process. However, patience and careful monitoring are key to avoiding pipe damage.

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even for projects that only involve grading or yard leveling. Permit requirements depend on your local government and the scope of the project, but they are especially common for significant digging or work that could affect utilities or public property. These permits help protect the local topography and prevent drainage issues. An experienced excavation company will typically know whether permits are needed and can often handle the process of pulling and closing them for you. You can also verify permit requirements by contacting your local building department and describing your project.

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.

Skunk digging looks like a series of small, cone-shaped holes on a lawn or around the perimeter of a home, porch, deck, or shed. The holes that skunks dig when searching for grubs tend to be no more than four inches in diameter and may be up to four inches deep.
