"Quickly stated, I strongly recommend LA Landscaping! They are quick, courteous, thorough and hard working. Now for the longer story… I was called shortly after posting my request for yard clean up on Angi’s List. The next morning Mike came by to give me an estimate on my project. We walked around and discussed in detail what I needed done and what they could do. The next day a crew of 6 using hedge trimmer, chainsaw, weed wacker, leaf blower, loppers, hatchets, wheelbarrow and tarps attacked my unruly yard. To be more specific my Yews were overgrown, I had weed-trees growing in my peonies and lilacs, and white mulberries growing in my chain link fence. I had notified my neighbors of the work I would be having done and not at all surprisingly they too asked for yard clean ups. I am sooo very happy with the end results. I took before and after pictures."

"Impressed by how very professional the entire team is. Placed an add for guttering to come and repair guttering that was incorrectly put on by original builder. Was immediately contacted, by Branch Out Gutters and a bid was given and scheduled an appointment within a week. The installation team was very professional and when they were finished the area was clean. I truly appreciate this company and will highly recommend them to anyone."

"I have known this man for most of my life, he has always been very helpful and been there for others if they have needed help with anything. He is very responsible and a very kind person. I know he is honest and very hard working and I would recommend him for hire. He has spread gravel for one of my family members and did a very nice job."

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. 

Yes, chipmunk holes may have two or more entrances. Chipmunks can create an entire network of burrows. Having multiple entrances makes it easier for them when trying to escape from a predator, such as a snake, or if an entrance collapses due to flooding. Each entrance leads to the nesting chamber underground, which is where the chipmunk spends the majority of its time sleeping.

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.

Excavations take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time it takes to excavate an area depends on the size of the area, the type of soil, the type of excavator, and even the time of year, since winter can make digging up the ground more difficult.

Depending on the severity of the freeze and the method used, thawing frozen underground pipes can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours. Applying heat directly to the pipe using heat tape, infrared lamps, or hot water jetting can speed up the process. However, patience and careful monitoring are key to avoiding pipe damage.
