"I needed three dead dogwood trees cut down and removed. They were very prompt in reaching out to me and discussing what my needs for tree removal were. Dylan came out and looked at the trees later that week and was back the next to complete the job. He did a fantastic job and exceeded my expectations! I would definitely recommend them for any tree removal or landscaping needs! I'm going to have him come back out next spring to trim my azaleas! Thanks so much for your help and great service!!!"

"Respess Brothers Tree Service were OUTSTANDING, PROFESSIONAL, CONCISE, and TIMELY!! They completed the service - removing two big trees (one very large pine tree in the backyard) and 5 large bushes in the front -- with their new machine so efficiently and safely! We were so impressed with their expertise in figuring out how to remove our trees which would have taken much longer. We HIGHLY recommend their services and they get the job done!"

"AH Concrete did a great job on our patio extension. Alberto was very friendly and professional, and communicated very well throughout the whole process. Our concrete is smooth and looks very nice. He also did a great job cleaning up, going above and beyond by working in the rain to clean up our backyard. His price was very reasonable, and I would recommend AH Concrete if you need concrete services."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

If you don’t have a crawl space but have a partial basement you want to make deeper, you can expect to spend a little less—between $40,000 and $90,000 on average. However, if you’re not adding new finished square footage, you won’t see much in the way of ROI.

Downspouts should be buried at least 5 to 10 feet away from your foundation. This can vary depending on your local building codes, soil type, and property slope. The main goal is to ensure water is directed away from your foundation.

A walk-behind trencher can cut through roots as long as they’re not too thick, making a project much easier than digging with a shovel and other hand tools. Assess your terrain and the number of trees in the surrounding area to determine if a walk-behind trencher will ease the job. Digging a trench by hand is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive. 

Hardscaping often requires preparation of the ground in the area where the feature is being installed. This can include digging, compacting, and leveling the soil, ensuring adequate drainage, and removing any existing plants. The extent of preparation needed will depend on the type and size of the hardscaping feature being installed.
