"I highly recommend Elson. Noah, Nick, and Derek were very professional, helpful, and willing to listen to questions and requests. We have MANY different hedges, shrubs, and trees. They trimmed each, as well as cut down the hostas. They also ground three stumps, added dirt, grass seed, hay. They cleaned up (and, believe me, there was much to clean) very well and hauled away the rubbish. I would highly recommend this company. Their price is very fair for their quality of work."

"Mike and Johnny did a great job! They gave a good quote and said they could start the following week. They did the job faster than quoted and were very meticulous with the details. They were even on their hands and knee wiping dust off our floors before they left each day. Already looking at hiring for another project we are working on!"

"Viviano was quick to respond to my initial inquiry. He came for an estimate within 24 hours and provided a detailed written plan with cost breakdown by the end of business the same day. Very competitive pricing. I initially just wanted power wash and staining of my 30-year-old fence. Viviano included repairs to the popped nails, replacing boards and even a fence post. No additional charges along the way. They are very communicative and professional Viviano also showed his heart on the first day he was at my home by bringing up my garbage cans! The workmanship was outstanding customer & service excellent. I highly recommend this company!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Professional installers often include a deep layer of crushed gravel under permeable pavers to allow more runoff to soak through into the soil below. Many installations will include multiple layers of gravel, with coarser aggregate at the base and finer aggregate that sits on top of that bottom layer. Above the gravel, you’ll often find coarse sand that helps reduce paver shifting over time. Some permeable paver designs include a water collection system set into the gravel layer to route runoff to a safe area for disposal.

Chipmunks dig their burrows about three feet deep and up to 30 feet long. The entrances can be two inches wide or more. Chipmunks are fiercely protective of their burrows and use them to protect the nuts and seeds they gather for the long winters.

Maintain open communication and address issues as they arise, ensuring contract terms cover potential delays.

Digging a bush up by the roots is the most natural DIY method for removing a bush stump. Start by identifying the shrub type and revealing its roots. Cut the shrub to its base and loosen the soil, ensuring no utility lines are nearby. Optionally, treat the base with herbicide, then dig around the roots and cut a circle around the shrub using various tools. Dig a trench, cut the base of the root ball, and finally fill the hole to prevent regrowth. This thorough process ensures complete removal without damaging surrounding areas.

To drill a shallow well, you may be able to use a drive well point. This is a tapered point that is driven into the ground. A drill bit at the end of PVC pipe may be another option to consider. A lot of the cost depends on what tools are available near you.
