"I have worked with Hutchins Landscape since 2016, not long after we moved into our property in Durham. My lawn is gorgeous thanks to the year-round care of Jon Hutchins and his crew. I cannot thank Jon enough for the MANY ways he has improved our property: landscape design; an array of beautiful plantings that flower during different seasons throughout the year; a seven-station irrigation system; a rock patio in the back yard; a fence for the property; and low-voltage landscape lighting. Any time I have requested service, Jon and his wife Carmen have always promptly responded. They are kind, professional, and personable. It is clear that they really care about their customers and take pride in their business. I cannot recommend them more highly--they are the best!"

"I would highly recommend Sweetgrass Landscaping. They removed an 80’ dying hedge that was full of invasive plants/vines, monkey grass, etc. They worked as a team and completed the job in 3 hours - including clean-up. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire them again!"

"Kyle and his team at Envision lawn care have maintained my lawn this spring. Their rate was a bit less than other companies, but much better customer service and attention to details."

"Clearly Leveled Up was great. They arrived on time and started working right away. The workers, Mike and BJ were very professional. They were courteous and very easy to converse with. They did exactly what we asked for and we love it !!! Wish we could have sent the photos of the work but the system keeps telling us the file was too large."

I needed a quick retaining wall repair on a oreexisting patio that another company had done and Braylon was able to expertly take over the job and work within my budget and creat a beautiful outdoor space. I am already lining him up for 2 more large jobs for me becasue of my faith on him."

"Great company and team to work with. We requested a retaining wall for the front of our home, metal edging for the sides and back, some intensive weeding/mulching, and some concrete pavers to install in one section. It was a complex job, but the Soto team was very well priced. More importantly, they are incredibly honest. Rigo reached out early and let me know we could save a huge amount of money if we ordered the pavers and river rock on our own, since the company would order in bulk quantities larger than we'd actually need. Then, when it was time to install they brought a huge team in and finished the entire process within a day and a half. The whole team was kind and patient with me (I know very little about landscaping) and it was a very comfortable process. Multiple neighbors have already reached out impressed with the quality of work! They fully deserve a 5 star and I'll be sure to call them for future landscaping needs too."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The cost to drill a well varies, with a national average of around $5,500 for a 150-foot well. However, prices can fluctuate significantly based on several factors, including your location, the required well depth, geological conditions, local regulations, and the specific drilling methods used. For the most accurate cost assessment, it is best to research and get quotes from local well-drilling professionals in your area.

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.

Yes, you can technically make a crawl space liveable, but the only way to do so is by converting it into a basement. While some crawl spaces are big enough to walk through and store large items, they lack appropriate insulation and space to be liveable.

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.

You should dig 3 to 6 inches deep for plastic edging. Dig as wide as you need to fit your plastic edging into it—2 inches is usually sufficient.
