"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I highly recommend Four Seasons Landscaping & Hardscape. David and his team did an outstanding job on several projects around my home. They repaired an older brick chimney, applied a protective sealant, installed a new chimney cap/lid, repaired crumbling bricks on both the side and front of my home, and installed a French drain along the side of the house. From start to finish, David was professional, knowledgeable, and transparent. He took the time to clearly explain the process, outline expectations, and answer any questions I had. Communication was excellent throughout the project, and I always knew what was happening and why. The team was efficient, hardworking, and respectful of my property. Their attention to detail and quality workmanship were evident in every aspect of the job. Everything was completed as promised, and the results exceeded my expectations. If you’re looking for a contractor who is reliable, skilled, professional, and communicates well, I highly recom"

"We thought we had a sinkhole but Corbin determined it was a huge, old septic tank! In one day it was fixed. He communicated well and tried hard to repair grass spots that equipment dug into as well as smoothing out the fill dirt. We wouldn’t hesitate to hire again."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

After you successfully remove your boulder, you have a few options for what to do to get rid of it. You can rent a dumpster if your yard has many boulders or if you’re planning a larger project. You can even save the boulder and reuse it elsewhere on your property to save on landscaping costs. A few ideas include using the boulder as a natural, abstract statue, breaking it into smaller pieces to line your garden bed, or offering it to a landscaping company that could reuse it for another project.

A joint utility trench, or joint trench, is a long, buried ditch on a property that contains two or more utility lines rather than running the lines in multiple trenches. Some utilities, like gas and electric or electric and communication lines, are better suited to joint trenching, while others, like water and sewer, are not allowed to be in the same trench.

You can bury underground electrical wire six inches deep—but only if you use a rigid metal electrical conduit. For rigid, non-metallic conduits, bury the wire at least 12 inches deep. If using an underground feeder cable rated for direct burial, you'll need to place it at least 18 inches deep, as it has no conduit for extra protection.

A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock.

Underground downspouts refer to the sections of downspout extensions that lead away from your home and gutter system. While they cost more than traditional extensions, they can provide several benefits, such as less frequent damage and no need to move them for lawn care tasks. Whether they're worth it or not depends on your budget at installation time and how much convenience they'll add to your situation.
