"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."

"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."

"Louie contacted me within a few hours of my request. He quoted the job on Saturday and was on the job on Tuesday.The demolition of my very dangerously damaged garage went well, and even though we experienced thunderstorms and tornadoes during the demo, Louie finished the job the next morning. His pricing ,expertise and attitude are quite commendable.He will be my only call for any excavation or heavy contractor work."

"Tracy and his team designed and built a firepit and sitting wall, around our patio. We were impressed with the quality of work performed, the attention to detail and the results exceeded our expectations. As we move forward with other hardscape and landscape projects, Integrity will be our choice. Tracy truly is a "man of integrity" and he is deeply committed to providing the customer a quality project. I would highly recommend!"

"Prior lawn service did not show up this year. By the time I found out, my yard should have been mowed at least twice. Josh with Lawn View called me within minutes. He was out the next day to mow and trim. As high as the grass was prior to Lawn View's service, the yard looked great after Lawn View's service. Grass was evenly cut with virtually no cut grass lumped laying on top; so no worry about cut grass killing my lawn!"

"Hector was amazing from start to finish. Prompt and shows up himself to estimate the work, which was much more reasonable than the 2 other quotes we received, and does a great job through until the end. I have used him three times (for clients anbd myself) and has been consistent every time. He listens, gives quotes quickly, and schedules the repair promptly. Could not recommend more highly, he will be my sewer and septic guy for the long-term!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

Digging a bush up by the roots is the most natural DIY method for removing a bush stump. Start by identifying the shrub type and revealing its roots. Cut the shrub to its base and loosen the soil, ensuring no utility lines are nearby. Optionally, treat the base with herbicide, then dig around the roots and cut a circle around the shrub using various tools. Dig a trench, cut the base of the root ball, and finally fill the hole to prevent regrowth. This thorough process ensures complete removal without damaging surrounding areas.

There are several different factors that influence how long it takes to excavate. For a foundation, it could take anywhere from three days to three weeks. It can take even longer if you face weather-related delays or an inaccessible site that’s riddled with boulders and rough terrain. It may also take longer if you have clay soil, which is more difficult to dig.

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.

Depth is not a qualifying component of evacuation. Any human-made cut, cavity, or depression in the earth’s surface is considered excavation. The hole from excavation can be any size, shape, or depth. Excavation is used to create foundations, reservoirs, drainage ditches, and roads. Long, narrow excavations are called trenches and are often used for underground utilities.
