"I hired Joshua Home Repair to install a new kitchen sink faucet, install a grab bar in my half bathroom, and to apply a sealant to my wood furniture on the front porch. Joshua and his assistant did a thorough and complete job for all projects. Installations were done according to plan and instructions and my porch furniture is ready for the upcoming summer, fall, and winter weather. Joshua and his assistant cleaned up all trash and carried it away. They were both courteous and respectful of me and my home. I do recommend Joshua Home Repair and I do plan to hire them again as I and my daughter both have other projects that we want done. Thank you Joshua Home Repair for your service."

"Mauricio and his team did an outstanding job of removing old rose bushes and replacing them with dwarf red oak Hydrandas. Then they raked up the debris and removed it. The front of my home looks terrific now."

"We were contacted first by NC Landscape and Waterproof. They were very thoughtful and understanding of our project and offered to do more than we originally planned but their explanation made complete sense and we are glad we had them do our full planting job instead of just the excavation. We will certainly be working with them again!"

"Needed fencing installed to keep groundhogs from taking up residence under our deck. Brady came up with a creative and complete solution that made sure the varmints were out and would not return. Would use again."

"Rivera Landscape exceeded my expectations! We had a major backyard project that included retaining walls, sod install, placing river rock around our pool and fire pit area, and mulch border around the fence. They completed everything ahead of schedule. Their work ethic is impressive and hard to come by this day and time. The crew always showed up when they said and were pleasant to do business with. They are my go-to crew from now on. Iâ ve already referred 3 of my family members to them. Thank you Rivera!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The cost to repair a crawl space runs between $1,500 and $15,000, depending on the extent of the damage. Major flooding or water repairs can cost up to $10,000 for removal and repairs. If you simply need to clean your crawl space, expect to pay between $2,000 and $6,000 for a major cleanout. Replacing a crawl space beam due to rot or damage can cost between $1,500 and $5,000, while removing and replacing damaged insulation costs between $1,000 and $4,000.

Most residential basements are 8 to 10 feet deep. You can dig deeper depending on building codes, but it does become more difficult. You’ll likely need to install stronger foundation walls and additional supports to handle the increased load. Depending on the water table, you may also need a water management system. Clay soil can support a deeper foundation than sandy soil. A structural engineer will be able to tell you the maximum, feasible depth.

No, a ditch isn’t a trench. A ditch is an open, relatively shallow channel that’s carved out of the ground and used for drainage purposes. In contrast, a trench is a deeper excavation that’s entirely underground. Trenches have many uses, including gas lines, sewage systems, and electrical wiring. Unlike trenches, ditches don’t get filled back in with dirt after they’re dug.

No, fire blight does not survive free in the soil but instead is carried through insects, animals, rain, or wind during the spring. Keep in mind that it can also spread on tools, which is why you should always disinfect them in between cuts.

Yes, most services include site leveling and foundation work. Confirm with your contractor for specifics.
