"Very knowledgeable. Very hardworking. Workers like this are not easy to find. I was extremely pleased after having been in the landscape business myself for 22 years they did it exactly as I pictured. Very hard to find someone who will do this type of work correctly."

"After Andrew built the ramp and deck extensions off of our existing decks in the spring of 2015, we hired him in May 2016 to clean, seal and stain the decks and ramp. We had concerns about drips and splatter onto the house and areas below the decks. Andrew eased our concerns and assured us he would tarp everything off and put plastic on the house to prevent and splatter and drips. Everything turned out great and there were no drips or splatter! Andrew's communication and professionalism were fantastic throughout all phases of the project. We highly recommend Andrew and his team."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

In the United States, a depth of 36 inches (three feet) for underground water lines is the accepted industry standard. This depth varies from location to location based on local conditions. In areas with colder winters, they may be buried deeper to prevent frozen well water pipes : This is usually at least six inches below the frost level. The International Plumbing Code calls for a minimum of 12 inches below grade.

No, a ditch isn’t a trench. A ditch is an open, relatively shallow channel that’s carved out of the ground and used for drainage purposes. In contrast, a trench is a deeper excavation that’s entirely underground. Trenches have many uses, including gas lines, sewage systems, and electrical wiring. Unlike trenches, ditches don’t get filled back in with dirt after they’re dug.

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.

Depth is not a qualifying component of evacuation. Any human-made cut, cavity, or depression in the earth’s surface is considered excavation. The hole from excavation can be any size, shape, or depth. Excavation is used to create foundations, reservoirs, drainage ditches, and roads. Long, narrow excavations are called trenches and are often used for underground utilities.

Underground downspouts refer to the sections of downspout extensions that lead away from your home and gutter system. While they cost more than traditional extensions, they can provide several benefits, such as less frequent damage and no need to move them for lawn care tasks. Whether they're worth it or not depends on your budget at installation time and how much convenience they'll add to your situation.
