"I was very satisfied with the service provided. I felt the individuals involved were very professional and pleasant to deal with. They came to site and provided a thorough estimate on paper before starting project. They communicated by internet with photos to keep me informed of progress of project. They returned phone calls promptly. They cleaned up area nicely and planted grass seed when project was complete. They obviously make an effort to keep customers happy."

"Musson Landscaping did a fantastic job at our family cottage. We have struggled for years to have grass grow in the shaded areas as we have large pines that don't let in much light. Musson came out on a Sunday and spent most of the day at the property. They completed the job in the same day and I couldn't be happier with the results! It's been about 6 weeks and we now have a full lush lawn to enjoy. Very prompt, professional, and will return your phone call!"

"I needed some work done on a fusebox. The electrician arrived in a timely manner. He was very nice, helpful, professional, and actually did some other stuff I needed done, but was afraid to ask about because I wasn't sure I could afford it. I would call again for service in a heartbeat!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.

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.

The rules and regulations regarding groundwater use vary between states. To find out if you can dig a well on your property, you’ll have to consult these regulations, address any compliance requirements, and get the appropriate permits. It’s also important to check that your intended location has the right geology and water table to support a well.

Almost any kind of home can have a wine cellar or cabinet installed. You’ll need an area where a concrete floor can be put in, along with the necessary insulation, climate control, and ventilation systems. If you think of yourself as an aspiring sommelier, an underground wine cellar may be ideal, but it will cost significantly more. 

What you choose to install really depends on your budget and how many bottles you’re looking to store.

You should dig 3 to 6 inches deep for plastic edging. Dig as wide as you need to fit your plastic edging into it—2 inches is usually sufficient.
