"Jon was initially brought out to help us find a solution for the excessive amount of water collecting in our backyard.  We interviewed many contractors for the job, because this was the third time we were having someone come ?fix? the drainage issues. I was impressed with Jon immediately, not only were his ideas new, but he seemed to truly listen to the issues.  He was ultimately hired, because he was easy to communicate with, I felt comfortable telling him my likes and dislikes. 
During the excavation of the patio, Jon expressed his concern regarding the magnitude of water that was emitting from the soil.  I was impressed that Jon took it upon himself to bring a soil expert out to evaluate the soil and ensure that he was taking the proper steps in managing our problem.  Further, Jon went above and beyond the agreed upon scope of work by grading our backyard and creating swails to navigate the water into the newly installed drains.  Similarly, Jon added an additional French drain under the patio that was not discussed prior to the project. 
Approximately half way through the project, Jon approached me with a foreseeable problem with the design we had agreed upon.  He presented the problem and followed it up with a solution, which I appreciated.  I loved his idea of a retaining wall and knew that it was a necessity given the water issues we?ve been having.
 
There were a few hurdles, as expected with any contractor.  The first being that there was a need for more materials than expected, and while I was frustrated at the additional cost, there was no way Jon could have foreseen the problem.  The second issue centered around the shape of the patio, while we?d always discussed a semi-circular shape, he suggested we change it to a rectangular shape to increase the square footage of the patio.  While I appreciated his insight, I wish we would have discussed it at an earlier meeting.  The third, and final issue, was the length of the retaining wall.  Although the wall was decided last minute, I was under the impression that the wall was going to stop at one particular location, when instead it expanded further than thought.  I was pleasantly surprised by the length of the wall, however, it spanned the intended walkway.  Thankfully, my husband had noticed and informed the crew before they started bonding the materials.  The crew politely took apart the wall and we all decided on a solution at the last minute. 
I was so thankful for Jon and his two team members.  I felt comfortable expressing my concerns throughout the project and felt like Jon went out of his way to address and fix them.  He and his team were polite, considerate and often times we wouldn?t even know they were at the house working.  We have every intention to bring Jon and his team back to help us complete our backyard.  While there were some hurdles, we are extremely happy with the end product of the job and we HIGHLY recommend Hutchins landscaping!

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Landscape edging is more DIYable than trenching. You can DIY your own digging projects, but proceed carefully and only with proper knowledge of the equipment and appropriate safety measures in place. Keep in mind the project's scope and estimate how long it will take you to do it on your own. While you can certainly save money by DIYing home improvement projects, you can’t exactly hide an unfinished—or worse, ruined— landscaping job from the neighbors. It’s always safer to call an excavation pro near you to get an estimate.

The time it takes to build a pool—and dig out the area—varies based on the pool size and type. A professional excavator will take between four and eight hours to dig a pool. The process will take longer if they encounter large boulders or tree roots. Keep in mind that this is a small part of the process in the long run. You will need between eight and 12 weeks to build a pool from start to finish, including the time to apply for permits.

Because decomposed granite is a durable material, a crushed rock or gravel base is optional as long as the DG is properly installed and compacted. However, installing a base is a good idea because it will ensure proper drainage and stability and act as a weed suppressant (although you may still occasionally have to pull weeds). Installing an adequate base can also increase the durability of driveways and walkways. If you forego the paver base or gravel underneath, line the area with landscaping fabric to avoid weeds.

Excavations take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time it takes to excavate an area depends on the size of the area, the type of soil, the type of excavator, and even the time of year, since winter can make digging up the ground more difficult.

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.
