"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."

"FANASTIC CONTRACTOR! Outstanding experience from start to finish. Only 1 of 3 contractors recommended by Angi for my job of demolishing an rotting, high, attached pergola(see pictures)who aggressively sought out my business. Dave communicated clearly arrived on time for the estimate. He was able to work in my job earlier that anticipated due to a client cancellation of another job. On the demolition, he worked safely and efficiently completing the job much earlier than expected. He was respectful of my property, handled cleanup thoroughly, and left the space looking spotless. I would absolutely hire them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, high‑quality work."

"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

Yes, chipmunk holes may have two or more entrances. Chipmunks can create an entire network of burrows. Having multiple entrances makes it easier for them when trying to escape from a predator, such as a snake, or if an entrance collapses due to flooding. Each entrance leads to the nesting chamber underground, which is where the chipmunk spends the majority of its time sleeping.

Trenchers can dig holes as narrow as 4 inches or as wide as 4 feet. Check the specifications of the trencher you rent or buy to determine how wide it will cut into the landscape. Better yet, let the excavation company know how wide you’d like the trench to be, and they can help you choose the right trencher for the job (or do it for you).

Directional drilling is complex and requires training to use the advanced machinery. It can be challenging to monitor the position of the drill since there’s no direct line of sight. Directional drilling can also be more expensive with a cost of $10 to $30 per linear foot compared to $5 to $12 per linear foot for trenching. 

There is no standard depth for burying a septic tank; they are typically buried anywhere from 4 inches to 4 feet underground. The final depth depends on several factors, including the depth of your main sewer line, the height of the bedrock, soil type, local regulations, and the property's landscape. If you plan to grow grass or plants over the tank, a depth of at least 4 to 6 inches is recommended. Deeper tanks can be more difficult to locate, but a septic professional can help find it for you.

A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock.
