"I hired Leomarda Landscape to weed, edge & mulch 5 medium to large sized garden beds. Not only was Nigel & his crew prompt, but they worked quickly and efficiently and completely cleaned up when they were finished. The job they did was excellent, and even better his pricing is extremely reasonable. He will definitely be my landscaper for all future jobs. I highly recommend him!"

"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."

"Cameron replied very quickly to my request for a quote (he emailed me the morning following my request). He was quite flexible with regards to meeting me as I work Mondays through Friday. We set up a date for late Thursday. Wednesday he emailed me and stated he could come by that night if it was convenient for me, which it was. When we met he quoted me a price which was acceptable to me. Then he went right to work mowing my field. As a note, my field (which was quite large) had not been attended to for 2 years and the grass in most of the areas appeared to be at least 12 inches high. Even though it started to rain he continued mowing and was done in an hour. My field looks great. Cameron was very pleasant. If I need additional mowings during the summer I plan on getting in touch with him again. And I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to other people."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

The time it takes to build a pool—and dig out the area—varies based on the pool size and type. A professional excavator will take between four and eight hours to dig a pool. The process will take longer if they encounter large boulders or tree roots. Keep in mind that this is a small part of the process in the long run. You will need between eight and 12 weeks to build a pool from start to finish, including the time to apply for permits.

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.

Preparation involves site assessment, clearing debris, grading surfaces, and compacting soil to support stable construction.
