"John and Cory installed a two level granite rock wall, granite steps and brick walkway to our front door, and it looks fantastic. We were impressed with their hard work and attention to detail. Particularly valuable to us was his background in this type of work which let him recommended design and arrangement ideas for us to consider, and which made the completed project better than we could imagine on our own. John made at least three visits to view the site, discuss options and sent pictures of similar projects. This assured we agreed on what would be done up front so there were no surprises. During the project he daily described what he was doing and the next steps. The granite blocks for the wall were carefully placed for the right look by individually hand splitting, sawing, or grinding for a custom fit. There was extensive work behind the wall to back-fill with stone and even anchor the large end posts with rebar to allow good drainage and stability. This type of detail is impressive since it is all out of sight behind the front blocks and will never be seen, but it will help assure the wall lasts for a long time to come. The same type of attention was given to the positioning, leveling, base preparation and placement of the brick walkway. The project was finished off with a layer of dirt/loam to allow plantings around the hardscape. John and Cory were easy to work with and stuck to the original estimate. Any potential changes were discussed and an estimate provided so we could decide whether or not to include the change. We are 100% satisfied with the outcome of this project. John F."

"I hired Matt to prepare a site for a shed we have ordered. He replied promptly for a request for an estimate. He explained what needed to be done and gave me a fixed date when he could do the work. Throughout the project, he kept me apprised of the progress and explained the choices that needed to be made. I was impressed with the care with which he approached every aspect of the project. Just a great guy to work with."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

A perc test can take anywhere from one to eight hours to complete. The total time depends on factors like the amount of excavation required, the depth and width of the holes, and whether multiple test holes are needed. For a single hole, the process of filling it with water and monitoring the drainage rate usually takes less than an hour. Professionals can often complete the entire test in a single day. While it's possible to get results the same day, some companies may take a few days to provide the official report.

Errors in site preparation can lead to structural failures or appear costly midway. Professionals ensure detailed, reliable home base development layouts.

No, you typically cannot use metal detectors to find your sewer line. Most sewer lines are made of non-metallic materials such as PVC, clay, or cast iron, which are not detectable by standard metal detectors. Metal detectors are designed to locate metallic objects, so they won't be effective for identifying the path of a non-metallic sewer line. To locate your sewer line accurately, it's best to use other methods.

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.

It can take several weeks for the ground to settle after removing a tree, and the soil under larger, more mature trees can take months. The deeper the tree has been ground under the soil, the longer it will take to settle. However, this extra depth can help you plant new landscaping sooner because you’ll have more space for fresh soil.
