"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. "

"It went well. When the excavator was working, I didn't really understand when he asked if we wanted to "feather" the uneven ground around the pool- so now we have a lot of ground without the grass that was there because the feathering was put over top of the grass - killing it. Overall, I would recommend C&D's. They were very responsive every step."
"Below is the portion of the email sent to me by Waterproofing Inc. explaining what work they would do and the cost: "Steve suggests waterproofing you entire front wall (20 feet) and installing one sump pump. The price would be $2400. Here is what he would do: Remove concrete about 18 inches wide depending on how wide the footing is. Excavate trench starting at 11 inches deep graded to 18 inches at sump well. Install gravel bed 2 inches in trench. Install plastic plate (Miradrain) across footer and up 18 inches. Install 4-inch perforated flexible ADS drain pipe. Fill in with gravel. Excavate sump well hole 22 inches wide and 36 inches deep. Install 5-inch gravel bed in sump well hole. Install plastic sump well (18 inches wide and 30 inches deep. Install 1/2 Horsepower Zoeller sump pump in sump well. Bolt down lid on well. Run discharge line out wall far enough so water does not recirculate, up to a maximum of 10 feet. Repour concrete to original thickness up to 3 inches. All debris is removed from house and the floor is broom swept. Lifetime guarantee against water in contracted area and a five year warranty on sump pump." I did not hire Waterproofing Inc. because out of the three estimates I received for the above work, Waterproofing Inc. was the most expensive on this particular occasion."
It can take several weeks for the ground to settle after removing a tree, and the soil under larger, more mature trees can take months. The deeper the tree has been ground under the soil, the longer it will take to settle. However, this extra depth can help you plant new landscaping sooner because you’ll have more space for fresh soil.
Consultation with the local government helps identify necessary permits, avoid project delays or legal issues, and protect project integrity.
The best type of soil to build on is a mixture of sand and clay, known as loam soil. Loam soil has the best combination of these soil types to build a foundation on. The clay particles help with water retention, so it won’t erode like sandy soil might, and the sandy particles help with drainage, so you won’t see unsafe soil expansion or have an increased risk of leaks from water sitting against your foundation.
Digging a well can cost between $20 and $25,000,depending on your needs. If you’re looking to dig a well yourself, all you need is a shovel. If you’re looking to have a well drilled by a professional, you can expect to pay around $15 to $30 per foot. The total cost of drilling a well will average to $5,500.
The best method for digging a trench depends on the scope of the project. For a short, shallow trench (less than 2 feet deep) in light, soft soil, digging by hand may be sufficient. However, digging by hand is labor-intensive, so consider the effort required. A machine trencher is the better option for longer trenches (over 100 feet), deeper ones, or when dealing with difficult soil conditions, such as rocky or hard ground, or obstructions like tree roots. A machine can save significant time and energy in these situations.
