"Eric and his crew did a very good job cleaning up overgrown shrubs and removing dead & diseased plants. Replaced 4 existing shrubs, lilacs and diseased royal magnolia. Disposed of all material and finished the job the same day."

"Hired for tree removal, block wall upgrade, remove garden, install sod, tree removal and trimming of another tree. Excellent service, and fair pricing. They cleaned up after work was done even in the street where trucks for debris were stationed. Workers worked very hard and were very nice and did a great job. Mariano, the owner was willing to help out with things I forgot to mention at the bidding process and all work completed in the designated time. I would hire them again."

"We hired HLL to remove mulch and replace it with larger rock. Jack and his team were amazing. They were polite, efficient and considerate. They listened to what we wanted and we are very happy with the completed project. An added bonus was the meticulous clean up after the project was completed. We highly recommend Hartigan Lawn and Landscaping."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

If you have a broken sprinkler pipe underground, there will be some signs you can easily spot to locate it and take action. These include leaks, water spouts, flooding, consistently damp areas on your lawn, low water pressure, and grass around the sprinkler head that’s taller and darker than anywhere else in the yard. 

If there are no obvious signs of a broken pipe, you can use tools such as water leak mics, leak noise loggers, audio devices that record leaks, and acoustic testing links. 

Broken pipes can lead to uneven watering, plant damage, and higher utility bills. The longer you wait to fix them the more the repair cost may be.

A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock.

Yes, chipmunk holes may have two or more entrances. Chipmunks can create an entire network of burrows. Having multiple entrances makes it easier for them when trying to escape from a predator, such as a snake, or if an entrance collapses due to flooding. Each entrance leads to the nesting chamber underground, which is where the chipmunk spends the majority of its time sleeping.

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.

Hardscaping often requires preparation of the ground in the area where the feature is being installed. This can include digging, compacting, and leveling the soil, ensuring adequate drainage, and removing any existing plants. The extent of preparation needed will depend on the type and size of the hardscaping feature being installed.
