"Alberto from Bison Landscaping was extremely easy to work with from the very beginning when he examined the work I needed completed. He provided a very detailed cost estimate to fix my retaining walls in my backyard. He was very understanding, took precise measurements, and provided options to replace the damaged RR ties that formed my backyard landscaping retaining walls. Other contractors provided estimates without measurements which I found very odd. Alberto was thorough and provided multiple pictures of stone walls he installed for other clients. It was very easy for us to choose exactly what we wanted installed. He and his team battled some very poor weather when work first began, but made quick progress in removing all RR ties and tree roots. They also installed drainage piping and gravel along the walls' foundations. The team cleaned the entire work area and the project took only one week! We are so happy our backyard wall is fixed and looks great! We highly recommend them!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

A crawl space can be as little as 42 inches below the grade of your house, but this is not always recommended in flood-prone areas. At a minimum, there must be at least 16 inches of clearance between the ground and the floor joists to access the space in an emergency.

The rules for trenching and excavation include setting up and following safety protocols, learning how to use tools and machines properly, and ensuring there is a safe exit for all workers. Keep heavy equipment and materials away from the edge of the hole or trench. Call the 811 dig line before starting any excavation or trenching project to ensure you don’t hit any electrical or gas lines.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

Above ground pools are not buried in the ground. Typically, above ground pools are semi-permanent. One reason they’re more affordable is that you don’t have to dig for an inground pool and pour concrete or another material. However, you can choose to install a semi inground pool, which is a hybrid between the two.

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