"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."

"Had a mess in my backyard along the river and a overgrown firepit. Curtis transformed the riverbank and installed a series of incredible steps going down to the river. Next he took the old firepit and created a new one with crushed granite. Now a perfect backyard setting. Would be glad to share before and after pictures."

"They did an excellent job of cleaning up. My yard looks really wonderful right now, but they've got to come back and lay the landscape Escape Fabric and The Mulch, but they did such a great job. Everything they've done so far. I'm sure they'll do a good job on the fabric of the most. I mean, they're just really hard workers and really pleasant. Really nice to work with, I just sort of, never had a nicer group of people work for me. And especially Sante Luna. He's just such a delight. He's just very patient with an 81-year-old lady and explains things. And he's just wonderful. I said that he they have a lot of services, and I will be happy to use them over and over because they're so outstanding. They're hard workers and do a great job. They just do absolutely. They're high, very hard workers. They do a great job. They're very pleasant in Ba They're very reasonably priced. And they have. They do many things, so I will have them back over and over because they are so good. And I'm so excited to find them a widow and, I need help with my yard and they do everything imaginable. So praise God that I found them."

"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 recently had N.M.T. Companies install a septic system, and I can't say enough good things about our experience. From the moment I sent them our septic design, I received a fair and competitive quote very quickly. Brennen and Anna were fantastic to work with and went above and beyond to make sure our project stayed on schedule. We were in the process of selling our home, so timing was incredibly important. They worked through bad weather, coordinated permits, handled multiple inspections, and kept us informed every step of the way. Their communication and professionalism made what could have been a stressful project feel easy. Not only did they do outstanding work, but they're genuinely great people. You can tell they truly care about their customers. As a thoughtful surprise, they even gave our entire family company T-shirts after the septic was completed. If you're looking for an honest, hardworking company that stands behind their work, I highly recommend N.M.T. Com"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Yes. A metal detector is one of the quickest and easiest ways to find your septic tank. However, metal detectors can be too expensive (costing upward of $300 in some cases), and not everyone has a metal detector just lying around. If that’s the case for you, you can also take a long metal rod and poke it into the ground at regular intervals until you hit something—likely your septic tank lid.

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.

Almost any kind of home can have a wine cellar or cabinet installed. You’ll need an area where a concrete floor can be put in, along with the necessary insulation, climate control, and ventilation systems. If you think of yourself as an aspiring sommelier, an underground wine cellar may be ideal, but it will cost significantly more. 

What you choose to install really depends on your budget and how many bottles you’re looking to store.

Digging out a basement takes anywhere from a few days to a few months. Most projects take at least two to five weeks, but it could take several months if you encounter obstacles. This project takes longer if you need to brace or raise your home before the excavation. Digging out a basement in new construction can take as little as three days.

Most professional excavation teams will charge between $8 and $15 per cubic yard. Calculate the cost by finding the volume of your pool—width x length x depth—and dividing it by 27. Then, multiply the price by the cubic yards from your equation. Budget for complications like a rocky lawn, hard-to-access pool area, or high local labor prices.
