"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."

"This job was just initially a tree trimming to handle the overgrowth on our property line, but they went above and beyond! The tree trimming went exceptionally well with all the tools and expertise they brought to get the job done efficiently and effectively, but they didnâ t stop there. There were vines and brush entangled in the trees that we were not even aware of that they handled with ease, but even with all that extra work they still went above and beyond by bringing in additional equipment! They brought in a mini excavator to clean up the site and made it look like it has always been this beautiful!!! We are beyond grateful for all of the hard work they did, the due diligence to go the extra mile, and the willingness to ensure that we did not have to do any â post jobâ cleanup like we have experienced in the past with other contractors. Because of the exceptional job they did, we are looking forward to employing them for additional work around our property. Highly recommend for way more than tree trimming and they have the equipment to do far more! Looking forward to working with them again!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

There is no standard depth for burying a septic tank; they are typically buried anywhere from 4 inches to 4 feet underground. The final depth depends on several factors, including the depth of your main sewer line, the height of the bedrock, soil type, local regulations, and the property's landscape. If you plan to grow grass or plants over the tank, a depth of at least 4 to 6 inches is recommended. Deeper tanks can be more difficult to locate, but a septic professional can help find it for you.

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.

Concrete blocks are the cheapest way to base a shed. However, the space in between allows critters to go under, burrow, and even damage your shed’s frame. For a more pest-proof option, consider building a shed base with gravel or paver stones. Both options are fairly affordable and easy enough for a DIY project. For gravel, you can build a wooden frame to contain the loose material.

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.

Preparation involves site assessment, clearing debris, grading surfaces, and compacting soil to support stable construction.
