"RK Boswell and Septic and Excavating is an awesome company. The only reason we did not hire them is because we did not have a septic pump we have an electric pump. We are new to living in a rural area and was not sure what we had. They came out, look over our system and told us exactly what we could do at no cost. Their customer service is awesome. If someone does this for us without securing a contract, I think you can trust them with the septic projects that you have."

"We were very happy with their work.  No leaks during very heavy rainstorms says it all!  They were very professional and followed up after a couple of rain storms to ensure that we had no further leak problems.  Their work was very neat, and the area they had to excavate to make the repair was very nicely graded. It was almost as if no work at all had been done in that area.  Based upon our experience, I would definitely recommend them again.

"If you need to replace your underground oil tank, then you're freaking out about the expense and possible catastrophic complications.   So do yourself a favor and call Willard.    This wonderful family company makes everything easy.    

Our very positive experience started with the initial visit by Josh.    Then company owner Billy Willard answered all our many questions.   Considering the options, we decided to purchase a Roth tank.    Not just more compact than other brands, it also has a 30-year warranty.   Willard is the only company in Virginia certified to install Roths.    

Our work was scheduled quickly.    Willard called Miss Utility and also our county -- we didn't have to do a thing.   The Roth tank fit neatly into our garage and Billy and his crew took great care with every detail of its complicated installation.    The removal of our underground tank went really well too, even though the tank turned out to be quite deep.    Frank and Josh worked very carefully to expose but not damage the old tank, and to transfer oil into the new tank.    Then the old tank was prepared so the residual oil could be pumped for recycling.    We hadn't even realized this step would take place, because Willard had made all the arrangements.   Next the tank was lifted and soil samples were taken.      Then, using a truckload of fill Willard supplied as well as the excavated soil, the enormous hole was filled, carefully graded and sown with grass seed.     

You can imagine how many heavy vehicles were in motion to accomplish all this, yet there was not the slightest damage to our fence, landscaping, driveway or house. 

Meanwhile, Tim was connecting the new Roth tank to our furnace, working with ingenuity around the maze of ducting. pipes and wires in our basement.   He wasn't satisfied until he was sure the connection was perfect.   

We thought the entire crew was awesome, and that opinion was validated when the county fire inspector approved everything they'd done.   The Willards and Josh Delaney were not just expert, they were really friendly and considerate.    It was a pleasure to have them around,  They turned what had been a huge nightmare into a perfectly executed solution.

"I have nothing but great things to say about Honey Cove Lawn and Landscape and the owner Brandon Turner. He was extremely honest about everything throughout the entire process, and boy oh boy did we have issues. His prices were spot on for our budget and there was absolutely no pressure or upsell, which was VERY refreshing. Unlike many of his competitors, he was willing to use materials that I supplied and despite all the problems (None of them caused by him), the project turned out awesome, well above my expectations.

So the details: We lived in a Townhouse and were getting ready to move. The place was literally only 1 year old, but despite its youth had a host of issues. One of those issues was the fact that the backyard was always soft and had mildew and mold growing on it. Of course being a Townhouse, the yard was small, but it prevented us from using it and enjoying the outside. Our particular lot backed up to a downward slope into woods, the builder built a 12? retaining wall so our yard was level, and then dropped off  (it was fenced) It?s hard to explain, but not too important. 

So we were moving and planning on renting the place. Having mildew in the backyard was a real hit with potential renters, so we decided to have a patio installed using paver stones. We considered doing it ourselves, but time was of the essence, so we decided to farm it out. I honestly cannot remember how I found Brandon, but I?m glad I did.

So we set up a time for him to come out so we could discuss the project. First impressions are of course paramount, and Brandon was the consummate professional.  As I stated before, there was never a hint of pressure for me to spend more money than I really needed to. He understood what we wanted, and agreed to wait for me to find some used paver stones on Craig?s List. In the end, he ended up supplying the stones for less than I was seeing on Craig?s List, but this was all my decision. Now to the issues:

So the first day was excavation. When the crew dug in, they found that the builder had cut so many corners, that all of my neighbors? downspouts were draining into my yard, under my yard, with no proper drainage (gravel, sand, spout over the side of the retaining wall, etc?). So needless to say, we found why we were having the mildew issues. Now it would have been very easy for Brandon to pay no attention to this issue and build the patio on top of the mud, collect his money and move on, but he didn?t. Despite the fact that he would have to sit and wait at work stoppage until the builder fixed the issue (over two weeks), Brandon informed me of the issue. He explained to me the problem, to most likely mitigation, as well the risk of simply moving ahead.

To make a long story shorter, the builder finally fixed the issue, and Brandon was able to finish the patio, all within my budget, and it looks great! We hired him again to do the landscaping around the patio which just made it look even better.

Bottom-line, Honey Cove Lawn and Landscape offered us an honest price, and honest assessment, and an awesome finished product. I would have no issues recommending Brandon for any project you have, he will do a great job."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The digging depth will depend on the size of the trencher you use. Even smaller units can dig up to 4 feet deep, which is plenty for a DIY job. However, much larger trenchers can reach a depth of 18 feet and are better used by a team of pro contractors, not a single DIYer. As with all home improvement projects, use the right tool for the job and proceed with caution.

Most residential basements are 8 to 10 feet deep. You can dig deeper depending on building codes, but it does become more difficult. You’ll likely need to install stronger foundation walls and additional supports to handle the increased load. Depending on the water table, you may also need a water management system. Clay soil can support a deeper foundation than sandy soil. A structural engineer will be able to tell you the maximum, feasible depth.

Excavations take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time it takes to excavate an area depends on the size of the area, the type of soil, the type of excavator, and even the time of year, since winter can make digging up the ground more difficult.

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.

Underground downspouts refer to the sections of downspout extensions that lead away from your home and gutter system. While they cost more than traditional extensions, they can provide several benefits, such as less frequent damage and no need to move them for lawn care tasks. Whether they're worth it or not depends on your budget at installation time and how much convenience they'll add to your situation.
