"Some ornamental bushes in my front yard were damaged when they dropped the heavy branches on them. The long branches were left without cutting in half, so they were hard to move. They had to call in a 3rd party to finish the work in the back as the 1st tree trimmer did not have proper equipment. They came to do the work in time manor."

"The team was prompt and very detailed, was able to pivot and suggest little changes that improved the overall look. They reconstructed a soffit and several bathroom and bedroom walls to enhance the appearance. I asked for non textured ceilings and they are flawless. Great communication throughout the job…I will rehire again in the future!!"

to be sure that theres an very fair priced agreement inplace to know what will be accomplish with the end result is exaclty what was discussed so going into it i know as well as yourself know and agree on the exact dollar amount that is fair or lower than most only to ensure a very stress free time as well as repeat costumers is what i look to acheive. i will not take a job that would be labeled or talked about as in "slapped together quick" i just cant do that because of how i was tought as i got more serious about what i do for somone is what they have to live with as well as i do share that feeling and i dont go home at night wondering about anyhting because when i do sothing i do it right and i do it good so that whoever its for is happy with the outcome.\ni feel that if your able to explain what you need done im confedent that the result will be just that.\nif you had water damage or any type of damage to your property i will bring it back to its origal state or you may have some add ins or more depth to the job resulting in a new and inproved type of result.\nalso lets say the way things are desighned just do quite fit your style or simply just fit objects in to anymore because familys get bigger and the house stays the same . even if you know something has to change but you have no idea what to do about it thats ok we can dicuss many types of options and ideas untill you feel or find just that perfect mixture you needed. or if you just simplely need another set of hands to get a task done quickly, safly and not pay so much that your questioning to go it aloone because i can assure you well agree on what you want im there to listen and understand your hurdles and hofully end up with you going out to shop and upon your return its finished, im gone, and its already been paid! so that you can get back to your day without any issues.\n

Excavating questions, answered by experts

There is no standard depth for burying a septic tank; they are typically buried anywhere from 4 inches to 4 feet underground. The final depth depends on several factors, including the depth of your main sewer line, the height of the bedrock, soil type, local regulations, and the property's landscape. If you plan to grow grass or plants over the tank, a depth of at least 4 to 6 inches is recommended. Deeper tanks can be more difficult to locate, but a septic professional can help find it for you.

Prior to excavation, you should prepare the dig site and call 311 before you sign anything.

To get your site ready for excavation, you should move anything in the area that isn’t affixed to the land. You can save money on the excavation by removing hardscaping, including walkways, decks, concrete patios, and paver patios.

Before you carry out any digging, you should call 311 to confirm that there are no utility lines running through your excavation site. Skipping this step could lead to severe injury and property damage if your excavator hits a water, sewage, or gas line.

We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.

Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.

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.

Yes, you can excavate in the winter, but it might make the job harder. Frozen ground is harder to dig, and snow or ice can make the work site more hazardous. A contractor may need special equipment and techniques, such as ground-thawing methods, to break through frozen soil. Although winter excavation is possible, it may take longer and be more costly than excavating during warmer months.
