"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."

"LARRY arrived on the afternoon of the day I called. He reviewed the 7 steps going from our lower deck to the ground,. He explained what it would take to make the fix, what materials he would use and his estimate which was very fair. As agreed, he returned two days later with his son Jacob and in no time at all repaired the fault as well as adding new materials to prevent any any future failure. They are both seasoned carpenters with decades of experience between them. Our steps are better than when new. 5 Stars arenâ t enough to relate our gratitude and satisfaction."

"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!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Errors in site preparation can lead to structural failures or appear costly midway. Professionals ensure detailed, reliable home base development layouts.

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.

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.

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.

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.
