Brandon Hall, specializing in quality caretaking while servicing and managing properties in the Central and Midcoast Maine Area. We can do just about anything with the outside of your home; building curb appeal and increasing the value! Whether you're away on vacation, a snowbird, or needing a watchful eye on your home/camp, I am there to help and keep peace of mind.

"I suspected they were charging me for plows that they were not doing but could never count. I would?ve been fine with some overcharges if the job had been done in a timely manner, but at times it wasn?t. When asking if they were on their way one evening after a night snow they never responded to me, but did come and plow soon after. The following year I sent them an email when my spouse and I both got laid off and they also didn?t bother to respond. Shortly after that, it snowed and I was charged for plows, long after I had canceled?but yet my driveway hadn?t even done! So that confirmed my suspicions. When I emailed them back again, there was also no response. No apology or anything. Lack of communication and bad track of plowing. Beware!!"

With over 10 years of experience, we pride ourselves on reliability, excellent communication, integrity, and high-quality work. Our expertise in the trade ensures that we deliver exceptional results, and we are committed to keeping you well-informed throughout your project. We look forward to the opportunity to earn your business and trust!

"I had a previous contractor hired to do a major landscaping project. After three weeks and 3-6 people here on the days they were here they weren't even halfway complete, and after failing to report work through the code office, I let them go and hired Talbot & Son. Kyle and a one part time person were not only able to correct the major structural errors done by the previous contractor, but he completed the job in 8 working days. He kept me informed of every decision and gave me a heads-up when the topography would require us to modify the plan. He kept me informed with every step to make sure I understood the options. Along with painters I had earlier this spring, Kyle has the best work ethic of anyone I've ever hired. He is meticulous, honest, and extremely hard-working. This is the kind of person you want to hire for landscaping projects. Don't settle for second best. Hire Kyle Talbot if you want it done right."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Downspouts should be buried at least 5 to 10 feet away from your foundation. This can vary depending on your local building codes, soil type, and property slope. The main goal is to ensure water is directed away from your foundation.

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.

It is a common belief that excavation is easier or less costly when done in the summer or when the ground is not frozen. Seasons have little effect on when excavation can occur; however, inclement weather can prolong the duration of the job and potentially increase costs. For this reason, those in rainy climates may opt for seasons with milder weather.

The completion timeline for an in-ground swimming pool project typically ranges between 8 to 12 weeks, depending on weather conditions, the complexity of the design, and any unexpected ground conditions encountered during excavation.

Yes, trenchers can go through gravel. Gravel is made up of smaller, softer rocks that certain trenchers are able to cut through. Just be sure to use a rock wheel trencher or chain trencher, both of which are made to cut through rocky landscapes and gravel pathways without dulling the teeth or chain.
