"I highly recommend this company for any project you might need done. Our lot had to be cleared of 100 pine trees before the construction of our dream home could begin. They have done an amazing job in every phase of the construction, They have excellent work ethics and have kept in regular contact with us to make sure that everything is exactly how we want it to be, even when I changed my mind All of the subcontractors have done a great job in a very timely manner. They are courteous and professional, and truly seem to enjoy their work. Every detail of our new home is exactly how we wanted it and better, both inside and out. Except for a few minor things that I wanted added we knew exactly how much each thing would cost including the cost of my wants before doing them. We were right on budget. They told us that they built our home as though it were their own home. I rate them a 5 in every category and recommend them for any job, large or small"

"He was a really nice man, followed up almost instantly from this format, was at my house a few hours later with a quote. Came and removed the tree to my specifications. I wanted the wood chips but wasn't there before they left to ask for them. I would definitely use them again if I have another huge tree that is going to blow over."

"Tony had done some clean up in our yard in the spring and did an excellent job. We asked him to redesign an area in the front yard that was pretty wild. He had suggestions but respected our requests as well. The finished project was done in a professional and timely fashion. The work is well done and priced competitively. We will definitely keep Tony at the top of our list for landscaping projects."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Slab foundations are more affordable than crawl spaces because they require minimal excavation, as the slab sits directly on the ground or on footers that only sink a few feet into the ground. Crawl spaces require excavation of the entire footprint of the home to several feet below the surface. Not only does that mean higher labor costs, but more materials are necessary for the concrete foundation walls.

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.

If you have a broken sprinkler pipe underground, there will be some signs you can easily spot to locate it and take action. These include leaks, water spouts, flooding, consistently damp areas on your lawn, low water pressure, and grass around the sprinkler head that’s taller and darker than anywhere else in the yard. 

If there are no obvious signs of a broken pipe, you can use tools such as water leak mics, leak noise loggers, audio devices that record leaks, and acoustic testing links. 

Broken pipes can lead to uneven watering, plant damage, and higher utility bills. The longer you wait to fix them the more the repair cost may be.

It takes one hour to dig a 10-foot trench by hand. Use a trenching shovel with a sharp tip and a long head. Plan for more time if your soil is heavy or rocky. Consider renting a trencher if you’re digging a long or deep trench or if you have challenging soil or terrain. 

The best method for digging a trench depends on the scope of the project. For a short, shallow trench (less than 2 feet deep) in light, soft soil, digging by hand may be sufficient. However, digging by hand is labor-intensive, so consider the effort required. A machine trencher is the better option for longer trenches (over 100 feet), deeper ones, or when dealing with difficult soil conditions, such as rocky or hard ground, or obstructions like tree roots. A machine can save significant time and energy in these situations.
