"When we purchased our rental, the prior owners had taken out all of the foundation plantings and landscaping, leaving only a sunken front walk, gravel around the perimeter, and two trees in the front yard. Unfortunately, when replacing the sewer line, an incompetent plumber killed our beautiful old maple and the crabapple started to die, too. Moreover, during the purchase inspection, we'd been advised to lower the level of dirt around the foundation, and we had learned that the shape of the terrain was contributing to water in the basement during heavy rains. The front lawn was a weedy, lumpy mess with a pile of wood chips from the dead maple. Enter Prestige Landscape & Design, who I found through Angi.com. I discussed our issues with Ben, who visited the property to assess what needed to be done and followed up with a plan/layout along with pictures of the hardscape materials to be used. All in all, he removed the gravel and dirt around the foundation, sealed the foundation, installed new window wells, installed a drainage system, re-contoured the land, buried the gutter downspouts and sump pump outlet while integrating them into the drainage system, reseeded the lawn, replaced the front walk and door step, and planted a beautiful assortment of perennials, shrubs, and trees. Oh, and he hauled away all the mess that was there before. Doesn't it make you tired just reading all this? Well, according to my tenant, Ben and his small team were tireless at their efforts. Ben was hardworking and considerate, and even the neighbors got to know and like him over the three weeks that he did the work. And the final result was beautiful and impeccable. I feel so fortunate to have found Ben and Prestige Landscape and Design, and if I need future work done, I know who to call!"

"Xtreme Excavation and Grading was fantastic, my sewer pipe was backing up so i ran a camera and come to find out it was packed full with roots and waste, so I googled up some companies and got a couple quotes but the I called and spoke with Brandon (the owner of Xtreme) and him and his guys didn’t waste any time!! He told me the price (which was extremely reasonable nearly half as much as the other 2 places i called) came out the next day and fixed my issue, Very friendly and knowledgeable and they did great work!! I will definitely be keeping them in mind for future needs"

"It went great. They exceeded my expectations in the work and the time it took to do it. Although they primarily specialize in tree removal they did a great job removing brush and the stuff in the brush."

"I have had them out twice now, to side my house and then my garage. They are very professional and they do outstanding work. They are also helpful when making a decision you are not sure about. Their cost is very reasonable compared to other well known companies I had called. They also give free estimates. I would highly recommend them for your next siding project."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

It’s possible to transplant trees as tall as 50 feet when an experienced tree planting service uses the right equipment. However, a tree with a trunk larger than two or three inches in diameter needs to be handled by a professional in order to yield successful transplanting results. Consulting a tree planting professional is the best way to tell if your large tree can be safely transplanted.

There are several different factors that influence how long it takes to excavate. For a foundation, it could take anywhere from three days to three weeks. It can take even longer if you face weather-related delays or an inaccessible site that’s riddled with boulders and rough terrain. It may also take longer if you have clay soil, which is more difficult to dig.

Trenches are typically 12 to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, the required depth depends on the specific project and local ordinances. For example, a French drain may need to be 18 inches deep, while a water pipe might require a depth of 24 inches and a drainage pipe 36 inches. Your city or county may have specific regulations, so it's wise to consult with an excavation professional to determine the correct depth for your project.

Most residential basements are 8 to 10 feet deep. You can dig deeper depending on building codes, but it does become more difficult. You’ll likely need to install stronger foundation walls and additional supports to handle the increased load. Depending on the water table, you may also need a water management system. Clay soil can support a deeper foundation than sandy soil. A structural engineer will be able to tell you the maximum, feasible depth.

No, fire blight does not survive free in the soil but instead is carried through insects, animals, rain, or wind during the spring. Keep in mind that it can also spread on tools, which is why you should always disinfect them in between cuts.
