Q: Can I DIY trenching or edging?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;t exactly hide an unfinished&mdash;or worse, ruined&mdash; landscaping job from the neighbors. It&rsquo;s always safer to call an excavation pro near you to get an estimate.</p></div>

Q: Why is slab more affordable than a crawl space?

• <div><p>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. </p></div>

Q: How do I handle project delays or unexpected issues?

• <div><p>Maintain open communication and address issues as they arise, ensuring contract terms cover potential delays.</p></div>

Q: How do I locate buried sprinkler lines?

• <div><p>The easier way to find buried sprinkler lines is to use the plan from the professionals who installed the system. If you don&rsquo;t have professional plans, listen for running water on your lawn when you turn on the system. You may also spot wet areas, giving you an idea of where the heads are. Once you find the sprinkler heads, you&rsquo;ll likely be able to connect the dots between them, revealing the system below. </p></div>
