"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."

"Excellent communication and a quick response for our quote! Brennan is professional but also makes you feel super comfortable and relaxed as he has a chill demeanor. We called other companies for this project too and none of them were anywhere near as communicative as NMT. Highly recommend!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

You can dig 60 to 80 linear feet by hand per day depending on the depth. Digging a 100-foot trench by hand will take you two work days, but it can take longer if you have heavy or rocky soil. If you’re digging a deep trench or one that’s over 100 feet, consider renting a mechanical trencher, such as a walk-behind or ride-on, or calling a pro for help. 

A perc test can take anywhere from one to eight hours to complete. The total time depends on factors like the amount of excavation required, the depth and width of the holes, and whether multiple test holes are needed. For a single hole, the process of filling it with water and monitoring the drainage rate usually takes less than an hour. Professionals can often complete the entire test in a single day. While it's possible to get results the same day, some companies may take a few days to provide the official report.

Dumpsters work best on hard, study, and level surfaces made of asphalt, stone, or concrete. If the surface is uneven or too soft, the dumpster could get stuck or tip over when filled. Keep in mind that you must obtain a dumpster permit to keep it on a city street in many areas.

Errors in site preparation can lead to structural failures or appear costly midway. Professionals ensure detailed, reliable home base development layouts.

Chipmunks dig their burrows about three feet deep and up to 30 feet long. The entrances can be two inches wide or more. Chipmunks are fiercely protective of their burrows and use them to protect the nuts and seeds they gather for the long winters.
