"I am very satisfied with the repair work that was done on my patio pavers, the downspout burial/extensions, the laying of sod along the right side of my driveway and front street curb as well as the removal of a large 15 foot arborvitae tree and its replacement with a 4 foot tall dragon lady holly tree. What initially sold me on using Pro Landscape was the professionalism displayed by David the owner and his companies proposals to include cost edstimates which were much more detailed and easily understood than other contractors I met with. Further, when speaking with other members of his staff they were professional and friendly each time I interacted with them. I will definitely use ProLandscape again when the need arises."

"The Estimator was very nice and responded quickly to setup the visit and schedule the work for an old DC home with galvanized piping. The 2 installers (one very nice - Chris) did good work and cleaned up well, but didn't communicate the issues that popped up! This was irritating. They left although there were leaks and sewage coming through the kitchen sink when you turned on the bathroom sink etc. The installers claimed someone was scheduled to come the next morning, but that wasn't true because of the communication issues. Also, they promised a plumber would show up on the same day as the stoppage, but they never showed up or called. They apologized the next day, but my elderly mom still couldn't use her bathroom on the 2nd floor and had to go down to the basement to use the restroom for 5 days. They even mentioned that I had to pay for snaking the pipes although we had no blockage until the installers finished their work. The Estimator got an installer/repair tech Chris Hardesty (2nd Chris in the company) to snake and remove the stoppage (for free how nice) and fix all of the remaining issues. He is a great tech!!! He is the reason I gave an overall rating of a B. He was an "A" but the other service averaged to a "B". Thanks Chris!!! If you don't have an older home, then you should be fine, but if you do good luck with finding out promptly."

"They were hired initially to repair the drain field. Shortly thereafter, we discovered I needed a new tank. I don't think a new tank should have cost me $2,500 but at that point into the project, you really have no choice. After checking around, most places sell a new tank between $900-1500. Also, the extra dirt that was not used to refill the holes was left in the center of my yard along with the brick/cinder blocks from the old septic system. He did level off the mound of dirt however, it was a 5 inch mound approximately 10 ft. in diameter in the middle of my yard. I have now been shoveling dirt to try and spread it out evenly over my yard, as well as, removing the old debris. So far, the septic system is still working"

"It went extremely well! They were punctual, hardworking and professional. It was necessary to dig up my neighbor's landscaping, so they were very careful to disturb only what was necessary and to restore everything to its original condition. They even replaced her broken underground downspout extension (which was draining into my basement!) without comment or additional charge. When my neighbor accused them of causing a problem, MJ was quick to respond and the team on-site made a point of apologizing to her in person. I don't think MJ caused the problem, so I was very impressed that they "went high" to investigate the matter and, as I said, apologize for the inconvenience she felt she suffered. The work they did inside to remove mold and seal the wall was thorough and neat. The gentleman doing the work cleaned up everything and took all of his equipment and trash with him. his is especially important since he was working with strong chemicals. My contact in the office was prompt to address anything I threw her way. It was easy to make payments online. Best of all - no sign of water in the basement since they were here!!"

"I was very pleased with my experience with Boswell Septic. My job, which was a replacement of a 50-year-old collapsed system, was logistically complicated. The tank to be replaced was on a wooded slope and surrounded by old-growth Mountain Laurel and Azalea bushes. The Boswell father and son team were skilled, patient and thoughtful. To their credit, they tolerated 'advice' from all the women in my family who fretted over every inch of impact on the natural landscape, squeezing the backhoe between narrow spaces and even offering to move daffodil bulbs rather than running them over. My experience in working with Boswell is that that navigated that elusive line impeccably between professional and personable. They let us know what to expect, they had their machinery delivered the day before the work we to be done, the showed up withing the window that they told us to expect them and the did the work exactly as they said they would. I especially appreciated that all along the way of the 5-hour project, they included us in any decisions that had to be made, making suggestions and offering options (ie. whether or not to remove a tree that was close to the tank etc.). We got exactly what we paid for: good, honest, skilled work accomplished by good, honest people. It was a pleasure to work with Boswell septic."

"Very well. The crews were always prompt, professional and knowledgeable, friendly and willing to answer any questions. They transferred recoverable oil from our old tank into the new one, and filled the old tank with concrete to the inspector's specifications and satisfaction, then connected the new tank to our furnace. We had a concern shortly after installation, which was addressed straightaway to our complete satisfaction."

"They came out today to provide an estimate on fixing a frozen pipe. They ran a snake through the pipe to see if anything was in the pipe causing the clog.  They also checked our crawl space to see if they could access the pipe from that area, but unfortunately are not able to.  They're going to have to remove the siding from the house, clear out the pipe, re-insulate it and replace the siding. Their estimate of $1,200 seems like a fair price.  I especially liked the fact that they took off their shoes before entering the house.  Everyone was very professional, prompt and courteous.  I did pay them today for the snake service and inspection."

"Ace Lawn and Landscaping is why smaller businesses are the best: outstanding customer service, professionalism, and communicating with a real person!  Ace Lawn has done leaf removal for us and they do a wonderful job!  I was very impressed with the thoroughness of their work.  Flower beds were raked clean, shrubs & bushes were cleared of all leaves, neighbors property was respected.  They were also careful to make sure all of our gates were closed upon their departure--this is huge for those of us with dogs!  It is also nice that I told Jim what we could afford and he was very clear on what he could for us and worked with us on the best services for our budget.  Highly recommended!

We have been on their snow removal list for the past two years but have not had any snow to need their services.  I know they will do a thorough job and if their are any issues, I know Jim will make it right! We have had Ace Lawn evaluate some drainage issues in our landscaping too.  Jim spent quite a bit of time looking at our property and listening to our concerns.  He emailed a clear estimate within 3 days and broke it down into different areas of the yard so we could move forward as the budget permits.  Hopefully this spring!

One last thing.  What  I like the most is that I always receive quick responses from Jim by phone or email.  He really cares about his business and his customers.  That has been hard for us to find in this area so we really appreciate Jim's dedication to customers and a job done well."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Drilled wells have a pipe sticking up that’s covered in a plastic or metal casing. On the other hand, a dug well will look like a big hole in the ground and is more similar to what you’d see in a fantasy or Western movie. If you want to be sure, contact the city for documentation on your property’s construction and excavation history. 

The average cost of excavation is approximately $3,200, with typical projects ranging from $500 to $15,000. Depending on the contractor, you may be charged between $50 and $200 per cubic yard or an hourly rate of $40 to $180 for an excavation specialist. The total cost is influenced by several factors, including the project size, the amount of soil to be removed, and the soil's condition. Hard soil, tree roots, or excessive rocks and clay can increase the price, potentially adding $200 to $1,200 to the final bill. Other factors that can drive up costs include the presence of nearby structures that complicate the work or tight spaces that require manual excavation instead of heavy machinery.

After you successfully remove your boulder, you have a few options for what to do to get rid of it. You can rent a dumpster if your yard has many boulders or if you’re planning a larger project. You can even save the boulder and reuse it elsewhere on your property to save on landscaping costs. A few ideas include using the boulder as a natural, abstract statue, breaking it into smaller pieces to line your garden bed, or offering it to a landscaping company that could reuse it for another project.

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.

A crawl space can be as little as 42 inches below the grade of your house, but this is not always recommended in flood-prone areas. At a minimum, there must be at least 16 inches of clearance between the ground and the floor joists to access the space in an emergency.
