"I had a retaining wall done by Outdoor Aesthetix, and I couldn’t be happier with the work! It’s been two winters now, and it still looks just as solid and perfect as the day it was finished. The team was super diligent, paid attention to every detail, and made the whole process easy. Plus, they were really professionals always up for a chat while getting the job done right. Even when I needed to reach out afterward, it was no hassle at all. If you’re looking for quality work and great service, I highly recommend them!"

My name is Nick Rewey, and I am the owner of Kase Outdoor Services. Before establishing my business in 2022, I spent five years driving trucks overnight. However, upon learning of my wife’s pregnancy with our son, Kasen—after whom the business is named—I recognized the need to pursue a different path that would allow me to be more present with my family. I have always been passionate about working outdoors and assisting others.

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

It takes one hour to dig a 10-foot trench by hand. Use a trenching shovel with a sharp tip and a long head. Plan for more time if your soil is heavy or rocky. Consider renting a trencher if you’re digging a long or deep trench or if you have challenging soil or terrain. 

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.

Maintain open communication and address issues as they arise, ensuring contract terms cover potential delays.

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.
