"We wanted our yard regraded, retaining walls repaired, and large boulders moved. The end result exceeded our expectations. They listened to what we wanted and offered some great suggestions. They showed up on time every day and completed the project early. Would definitely use them again and recommend them to anyone looking for a landscaper."

"I didn't like it at all. First, the guy did not look professional to me and secondly he did not work for two hours. For the main job that I wanted him to do, he started saying that he needed to break toilet and he was trying to charge me more money which I did not do. They were two people and they did not look professional and they didn't act professional either. I hired another person and he removed the toilet and did what I wanted. He removed the clogging and put it back. I wouldn't call him again. I paid them additionally to change the faucet.

"A few years ago I moved to a new house. One of my side yards was sloped quite a bit, going down to a creek. I also had a backyard that was quite rutted and unsuitable for family games. In the spring of 2020 our road was getting paved, which involved lots of extra "free" dirt being moved out of the area. I had at least 15-20 dump trucks of dirt dumped on my property. My plans were to build a retaining wall in one section and grade and reseed parts of my property. I was planning to move the dirt myself to save some dollars. However, this would have taken me three weeks or more to do because of all the roots and debris that had to be cleared. I ended up hiring Rob and in a matter of just a couple days he moved the dirt around for me and also tilled it smooth several times. All I had to do was seed the lawn and cover it with straw. For this project he worked around my time schedule the best he could. As he moved the dirt around, my family was removing roots and debris. Rob had the tools and the knowledge to help me create a more usable lawn and make it look so much better than if I would have tackled this project on my own. His price was very reasonable and fair. If I would have tried to rent similar machines to do the project myself it would have cost me more and taken longer. My sons were also grateful that I spared them many weeks of work. If I had a future project, I would not hesitate to hire Rob again."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

To locate an underground downspout, you should start by identifying where the above ground gutter drains. Look for an entry point, such as a pipe or elbow leading into the ground. Follow the surface path for signs like depressions, landscaping disruptions, or wet areas after rain. You can use a metal detector or plumber’s snake to trace the pipe underground. For deeper pipes, a professional locator tool or camera inspection may be necessary. Visual markers or utility maps can also guide the search.

Yes, chipmunk holes may have two or more entrances. Chipmunks can create an entire network of burrows. Having multiple entrances makes it easier for them when trying to escape from a predator, such as a snake, or if an entrance collapses due to flooding. Each entrance leads to the nesting chamber underground, which is where the chipmunk spends the majority of its time sleeping.

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.

The time it takes to build a pool—and dig out the area—varies based on the pool size and type. A professional excavator will take between four and eight hours to dig a pool. The process will take longer if they encounter large boulders or tree roots. Keep in mind that this is a small part of the process in the long run. You will need between eight and 12 weeks to build a pool from start to finish, including the time to apply for permits.

We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.

Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.
