"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

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.

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.

Some two-in-one tools and machines do both jobs, and those could be the right solution for smaller residential projects. However, the phrase “use the right tool for the job” definitely applies to digging. For the best results, get two separate tools for your trenching and landscape edging projects or call a pro to take care of everything for you.

The rules for trenching and excavation include setting up and following safety protocols, learning how to use tools and machines properly, and ensuring there is a safe exit for all workers. Keep heavy equipment and materials away from the edge of the hole or trench. Call the 811 dig line before starting any excavation or trenching project to ensure you don’t hit any electrical or gas lines.

If you’re planning to dig on your property, you’ll need to check for underground utility lines. Call the national call-before-you-dig 811 number. Once connected to an operator, you can schedule a site visit to mark underground lines. This way, you won’t accidentally dig into pipes and can cause major (read: costly) issues.
