"I called Colton on a Wednesday, he came and looked at my driveway on Friday. He was super easy to talk to, very knowledgeable, and accommodating. He explained my options and helped me decide the best option for my situation. He came the next Thursday and completed the job in one long, hard worked day. He did a great job and I would give him 10 stars if I could."

"Dan was very professional. He was easy to deal with. He cleaned up everything after himself even out into the hall. I needed some fast service and he made sure he got to my project the very next morning. He is someone I would like to have come back to home and do other projects. I highly recommend this company."

"Terrafirma reached out promptly, set up a time to visit the property and provide a quote. The project was to install a french drain from our gutters to the front of yard. We had an idea, but they provided another idea that was much better. They arrived on the day agreed upon, completed the project, added additional grass seed, watered and cleaned up. I also asked about another project I had, and they completed that in the same day for a very fair price!! Highly recommend!"

"I couldn’t recommend this landscaping company more! From start to finish, they were professional, reliable, and seriously talented. They took the time to listen to exactly what I wanted and turned my vision into something even better than I imagined. The attention to detail really stood out—everything from the layout to the finishing touches was done with so much care. They showed up on time, communicated clearly, and made the whole process easy and stress-free. My yard looks completely transformed, and I’ve gotten so many compliments already. If you’re looking for a team that genuinely takes pride in their work and delivers amazing results, this is the one to go with!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

You can bury underground electrical wire six inches deep—but only if you use a rigid metal electrical conduit. For rigid, non-metallic conduits, bury the wire at least 12 inches deep. If using an underground feeder cable rated for direct burial, you'll need to place it at least 18 inches deep, as it has no conduit for extra protection.

Digging a well can cost between $20 and $25,000, depending on your needs. If you’re looking to dig a well yourself, all you need is a shovel. If you’re looking to have a well drilled by a professional, you can expect to pay around $15 to $30 per foot. The total cost of drilling a well will average to $5,500.

Septic drain lines (or leach lines) are typically buried between 18 and 36 inches underground, and should be at least 6 inches below the surface. These pipes are perforated and surrounded by filtering materials like sand or gravel. Burying the lines at this depth helps minimize odors and allows bacteria and other biological processes in the soil to effectively treat the wastewater. Burying lines too close to the surface can cause issues unless the soil is very compact and stable.

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.
