"Outstanding customer service. Excellent communicator. Kept me informed about when he was available and actually offered to come a few days early since he finished another job. The job was to level a 30x40 area so I could install a large wooden swing set. There was about a 20" drop from front to back. He cut the back and filled the front so he didn't have to bring in any new fill or haul any away. This saved a lot of money. When he was done it was within a 1/2". He made sure by checking it with a rotating laser. He has new and well maintained equipment and state of the art tools. I've been in construction for 40 years. Believe me, this guy knows his stufff."
"We worked with Jared to renovate our laundry room and sunroom, which included adding them to our houseâ s HVAC, significant plumbing and electrical updates, adding cabinetry, as well as all new cosmetics (tile, paint, wallpaper, etc.) and appliances. We love how the space turned out and that it really feels like a cohesive part of our home now. Their work is high quality, and communication was clear with fast response time. We would definitely recommend!"
"Hired them to clear property lines for a fence install. They did such an amazing job that I then hired them to clear out the interior property. They exceeded my expectations and were so helpful and communicative during the entire process. I plan on bringing them back for further jobs on the future. Excellent service."
"It has worked out so well for me and my family. And yeah, please do it all day. Please let me know if I can help. Please let me know when I get home, and I will be home in the next few days. Please let me know when I can get you. Please let me know when I get back. Please let me know if I need anything else. Please let me know if I can get you a text or text me or text or call me when I can."
"Matt installed a large engineered retaining wall for me and landscaped my entire property. It all came out better than I could even have imagined. He is great to work with and would definitely hire him again."
Your contractor should handle dust control during the project. It's best to speak with your contractor beforehand to check if they plan to cover your furniture, protect your vents, or use fans to redirect dust. Eliminating drywall dust is a particularly large challenge during construction, so always take this into account during your planning phase.
While you can save some money by digging your own pool, you may end up paying more in construction equipment rental fees in the long run. You could, however, focus your DIY energies on lowering the cost of leveling your lawn for your pool or filling in surrounding landscaping after construction.
In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even for projects that only involve grading or yard leveling. Permit requirements depend on your local government and the scope of the project, but they are especially common for significant digging or work that could affect utilities or public property. These permits help protect the local topography and prevent drainage issues. An experienced excavation company will typically know whether permits are needed and can often handle the process of pulling and closing them for you. You can also verify permit requirements by contacting your local building department and describing your project.
Professional installers often include a deep layer of crushed gravel under permeable pavers to allow more runoff to soak through into the soil below. Many installations will include multiple layers of gravel, with coarser aggregate at the base and finer aggregate that sits on top of that bottom layer. Above the gravel, you’ll often find coarse sand that helps reduce paver shifting over time. Some permeable paver designs include a water collection system set into the gravel layer to route runoff to a safe area for disposal.
Errors in site preparation can lead to structural failures or appear costly midway. Professionals ensure detailed, reliable home base development layouts.
