"Joel did a great job turning some raw undeveloped land into a beautiful up hill driveway. The job involved rebuilding a stone wall, tree stump excavation, sculpting over 250 yards of soils into gentle slopes and finishing the job by spreading gravel for the new driveway. Joel is a master at working an excavator and has excellent work ethics. I am looking forward to having him back to do the next round of work on my property."

"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."

"Rafael and his crew did an outstanding job getting our yard ready for the winter. The yard is spotless, they trimmed plants, even cut grass that we hadn’t asked them to do. Fast, very efficient, and good people to work with."

"Rodolfo and his crew were great to work with, and his crew and associates did a fine job on our upstairs rental apt. Work included insulation, new windows on the sunporch, repairs of water damage in the bathroom, painting of the entire apt (colors chosen by Rodolfo - the place looks great!), and other work as needed. We are glad we found Pro Performance Construction to do the job!"

"Blue Costa Landscape & Construction, LLC installed a concete border around a storage area and build a draining system in the backyard. We had an idea of what we wanted, but they had some good recommendations which significantly enhanced the overall project we had in mind."

"This fall we replaced our house foundation. Amazonia Landscape did the excavation work and coordinated the concrete work. We had several home improvement projects but Amazonia Landscape was the only contractor who started the project on time. The team finished the work quickly regardless of difficulties. One day there was a shower all day. I thought Andre will not come, but when I got home at 6:30 pm, the excavation was almost done (the team were still working in rain). Some of the digging work was under existing house which was temporarily supported by lally columns. The team did a careful job in this dangerous area and didn't cause any damage our house. Andre always responded to our requests. He brought a pump to remove the water under the ground. I said the pump was not quiet enough. The next day he bought a new electric pump that doesn't produce any noise. He also gave me a big discount for the additional work (demolition, disposal, and house reinforcement) that was not included in the original contract. I would highly recommend Amazonia Landscape because of their hard work, professionalism, and timely response to customer's requests."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

A joint utility trench, or joint trench, is a long, buried ditch on a property that contains two or more utility lines rather than running the lines in multiple trenches. Some utilities, like gas and electric or electric and communication lines, are better suited to joint trenching, while others, like water and sewer, are not allowed to be in the same trench.

Some two-in-one tools and machines do both jobs, and those could be the right solution for smaller residential projects. However, the phrase “use the right tool for the job” definitely applies to digging. For the best results, get two separate tools for your trenching and landscape edging projects or call a pro to take care of everything for you.

Sewer lines can be buried anywhere from 18 inches to 8 feet deep, with a common average depth between 18 and 30 inches. The exact depth depends on local factors like climate and soil type. In colder regions, pipes must be buried deeper (below the frost line) to prevent freezing, sometimes as deep as 8 feet. The digging depth can also impact the cost of sewer line replacement. To find the specific depth for your property, you can check the building plans for your system, which should be on file with your city or local sanitation department since permits are required for installation.

Professional installers often include a deep layer of crushed gravel under permeable pavers to allow more runoff to soak through into the soil below. Many installations will include multiple layers of gravel, with coarser aggregate at the base and finer aggregate that sits on top of that bottom layer. Above the gravel, you’ll often find coarse sand that helps reduce paver shifting over time. Some permeable paver designs include a water collection system set into the gravel layer to route runoff to a safe area for disposal.

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.
