"I contacted Travers to have a chimney removed, some general demo (walls brought down to the studs) and a large amount of yard work (clearing a largely overgrown yard) on a home I recently purchased. With a large amount of work to tune up this house in a short window leading up to summer, time was of the essence. I spoke with Alex in their office several times leading up to the work. She was extremely helpful and responsive. She helped coordinate some of Mike's time for an estimate. While I initially called exclusively about removal of the chimney, the scope of the job grew after talking to Mike and understanding all the work they could do. After agreeing on full scope and price, Mike was able to schedule my job in on less than a weeks notice. I met the team day 1 at the house where they arrived right on time. All the guys on the team were friendly, professional and instilled confidence. I was shocked at how fast the progress was on the chimney. Day 2 the focus shifted to the yard while some of the team was still doing work in the house. They moved at break neck speed yet methodically and highly coordinated. They left after two days - There wasn't a single scratch on the old hardwoods I was hoping to preserve despite moving TONS of brick and mortar where the hearth once sat. They leveled the yard everywhere they removed trees and bushes with only patches of no grass being the only evidence work had even been done. They also patched the roof, somehow match up the pattern of a 20 or so year old roof so it appears a chimney never existed. I had never worked with Travers before and reviews online were the only reference I had to go on in hire them. I was cautiously optimistic they were the right company, but then they blew away my expectations! I will absolutely leverage them again for future jobs and strongly encourage others to call Travers as well. If your job needs to be done in a timely fashion and you want to maintain quality - this is the company to call."

"I had a fence in my backyard that was deteriorating. I contacted them and they came out quickly, gave me an estimate and fixed it within the week. The owner was really friendly and even offered to do some fix-ups on my house for the same price!"

"The work performed was not only landscaping but also junk removal. The outstanding customer service started with the pleasant receptionist Michelle. She was very patient in helping me get booked for service. Abdul, who performed my service, was very helpful with his recommendations. He had totally transformed my disastrous, brush filled yard, into a beautifully landscaped area. He definitely has a strong passion for his work and is also very customer oriented. We will definitely keep his services! Very happy with his work. I would strongly recommend him! God bless him and thank you Abdul!"

"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

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.

The cost to repair a crawl space runs between $1,500 and $15,000, depending on the extent of the damage. Major flooding or water repairs can cost up to $10,000 for removal and repairs. If you simply need to clean your crawl space, expect to pay between $2,000 and $6,000 for a major cleanout. Replacing a crawl space beam due to rot or damage can cost between $1,500 and $5,000, while removing and replacing damaged insulation costs between $1,000 and $4,000.

A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock.

Trenches are typically 12 to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, the required depth depends on the specific project and local ordinances. For example, a French drain may need to be 18 inches deep, while a water pipe might require a depth of 24 inches and a drainage pipe 36 inches. Your city or county may have specific regulations, so it's wise to consult with an excavation professional to determine the correct depth for your project.

Hardscaping often requires preparation of the ground in the area where the feature is being installed. This can include digging, compacting, and leveling the soil, ensuring adequate drainage, and removing any existing plants. The extent of preparation needed will depend on the type and size of the hardscaping feature being installed.
