"Called ahead of time and came on time. Very friendly staff. and did a wonderful job cutting and removing the trees. They also took the above ground oval pool apart and removed it. They also added top soil where the pool was located and will be coming back to add more top soil to complete the job. I have have no complaints as the job was performed in an excellent manner. Would recommend their services as Mike knew exactly what had to be done."

"I hired Pro Landscapes to demolish and remove an old shed in my backyard that was rotting and falling apart. Once I contacted them, the owner of the company reached out very quickly and set up an appointment to come and look at the shed. He was friendly and honest, he offered me the cheapest way possible to get the work done, he actually told me the more expensive job I had in mind probably wasn't the way to go, very honest. I am very happy with the work David's company did, they were fast, professional, and kind. And they even hauled away some trash for me that was not in the contract. I'd highly recommend this company for any yard or demolition projects, they will figure out a way to make the price fit the job. Thanks again!"

"Very well. The staff was on time, cleaned the flower beds, moved dirt to various beds, mulched, put down landscape ties, and more. They were very professional and knowledgeable of what needed to be done. I plan to hire G&G Landscaping again for other landscaping needs. Job well done! Many thanks to G&G for making my flower beds beautiful again!"

"J&W did a wonderful job building my brick steps and concrete walk way to the front of my home. A quick quote and a great price considering the current market for bricks and concrete. Mr. Brown went the extra mile and I will be utilizing this company next week to replace the side entrance steps. I highly recommend!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

If you don’t wish to dig it out and convert it into a finished basement, you can still encapsulate your crawl space to protect it from damage for an average cost of $5,500. Finishing a crawl space beyond this isn’t really worthwhile, as the low ceilings mean you won’t be able to use the area as living space.

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.

If you have a broken sprinkler pipe underground, there will be some signs you can easily spot to locate it and take action. These include leaks, water spouts, flooding, consistently damp areas on your lawn, low water pressure, and grass around the sprinkler head that’s taller and darker than anywhere else in the yard. 

If there are no obvious signs of a broken pipe, you can use tools such as water leak mics, leak noise loggers, audio devices that record leaks, and acoustic testing links. 

Broken pipes can lead to uneven watering, plant damage, and higher utility bills. The longer you wait to fix them the more the repair cost may be.

The easier way to find buried sprinkler lines is to use the plan from the professionals who installed the system. If you don’t have professional plans, listen for running water on your lawn when you turn on the system. You may also spot wet areas, giving you an idea of where the heads are. Once you find the sprinkler heads, you’ll likely be able to connect the dots between them, revealing the system below.

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.
