"My patio wall was leaning and the blocks were crumbling. The patio pavers were full of moss and weeds. The patio steps had just been redone a year ago by another company but sand had been used as a base and after settling, they were no longer level and developing a tripping hazard. Joe recognized construction errors in both the wall and steps. My backyard had a large area along a fence where soil had washed away and grass wouldn't grow. What I appreciated about Joe was his interest in what my vision was and then offering his creative ideas for what could be done. Joe cut down a full-grown evergreen and a shrub that had become unsightly. He trimmed other trees and removed branches that were brushing against the house. Vitak Landscaping gave me a beautiful patio and backyard! The crew is a pleasure to work with - hardworking, with an eye for detail and quality work. I highly recommend this crew and company!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

How deep your septic system needs to be into the ground depends on several factors. In extremely cold environments, the tank needs to rest below the maximum frost line, which can be up to six or eight feet deep. The standard burying depth for most systems is between a few inches and four feet below ground level. Depth can also depend on the slope of the landscaping and other property variables. 

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

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.

The rules and regulations regarding groundwater use vary between states. To find out if you can dig a well on your property, you’ll have to consult these regulations, address any compliance requirements, and get the appropriate permits. It’s also important to check that your intended location has the right geology and water table to support a well.

Yes, professional installations include trenching or borehole drilling required for ground loops.
