"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

Trenches are typically 12 to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, the required depth depends on the specific project and local ordinances. For example, a French drain may need to be 18 inches deep, while a water pipe might require a depth of 24 inches and a drainage pipe 36 inches. Your city or county may have specific regulations, so it's wise to consult with an excavation professional to determine the correct depth for your project.

To locate an underground downspout, you should start by identifying where the above ground gutter drains. Look for an entry point, such as a pipe or elbow leading into the ground. Follow the surface path for signs like depressions, landscaping disruptions, or wet areas after rain. You can use a metal detector or plumber’s snake to trace the pipe underground. For deeper pipes, a professional locator tool or camera inspection may be necessary. Visual markers or utility maps can also guide the search.

The best method for digging a trench depends on the scope of the project. For a short, shallow trench (less than 2 feet deep) in light, soft soil, digging by hand may be sufficient. However, digging by hand is labor-intensive, so consider the effort required. A machine trencher is the better option for longer trenches (over 100 feet), deeper ones, or when dealing with difficult soil conditions, such as rocky or hard ground, or obstructions like tree roots. A machine can save significant time and energy in these situations.

A crawl space can be as little as 42 inches below the grade of your house, but this is not always recommended in flood-prone areas. At a minimum, there must be at least 16 inches of clearance between the ground and the floor joists to access the space in an emergency.

Yes, most services include site leveling and foundation work. Confirm with your contractor for specifics.
