"Sean Farrell Excavation was hired to do over our driveway. Sean clearly reviewed all the materials, steps involved, and hours that the crew would be at our property. The work was meticulous and on time. Reviewing the steps beforehand left us with no surprises and we were able to plan our day to day around it. We were thrilled with the finished results. Sean took the time to listen, relay it to his crew and deliver a gorgeous driveway. We even got a phone call when work was completed to make sure we were happy, something that rarely happens from a company owner these days. I would highly recommend him and his crew for any similar work."

"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!"

"Jerry worked with me to design and install front and backyard gardens with a beautiful stone patio and stone paths. His work is excellent and he knows his materials. He checked in with me along the way about decisions that needed to be made, even though that part was a bit stressful. I also appreciated his team because they were friendly and worked well together (and strong to deal with super rocky soil). We love walking the gardens several times a day and neighbors often stop to admire the beauty of the flowers and trees. We highly recommend Stonewall Pro."

"We had WS Builders install a cedar privacy fence around the perimeter of our yard. They did an excellent job building the fence to follow a curve in the corner of our property along with a gate on the opposite end. They were very responisve in our initial communications and a professional crew to work with, completeing the job within one day. I would recommend them to anyone."

"Diego told me last November he would be here at the beginning of this season and he kept his word. He designed a walkway and veneer for the front of my house that I could not have imagined. The landscaping ideas and suggestions were right on target. His team is respectful and hard working and I recommend them highly. The job exceeded my expectations!"

Customers say: Quality work

"Great company! Showed up on time. Got the job done quickly and efficiently. I did have to sweep the driveway afterwards, but they had shoveled off all dirt/stone that was piled there). I was really impressed that one of the crew filled me in on each step and feel they have excellent communication, as I like to know and be shown what is going on step-by-step and not many workers do that. I will use them again should I need work. I will recommend them to others."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can technically make a crawl space liveable, but the only way to do so is by converting it into a basement. While some crawl spaces are big enough to walk through and store large items, they lack appropriate insulation and space to be liveable.

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.

A crawl space can be as little as 42 inches below the grade of your house, but this is not always recommended in flood-prone areas. At a minimum, there must be at least 16 inches of clearance between the ground and the floor joists to access the space in an emergency.

Yes, most services include site leveling and foundation work. Confirm with your contractor for specifics.

You should dig 3 to 6 inches deep for plastic edging. Dig as wide as you need to fit your plastic edging into it—2 inches is usually sufficient.
