It's true: A fuel tank will eventually corrode and leak. If you encounter a tank that is more than 15 years old, there is a good chance that substantial corrosion has taken place. Trust that Sterling will remove your tank with the utmost care for your property and will create a safe environment for your family. Call Sterling Environmental Services today!

"Sterlington Environmental removed my "ready to leak" 60 year old in-basement oil tank and replaced it with a clean, modern Roth tank in about half a day. This is an inherently messy job and they did it quickly and efficiently while paying attention to the rest of my home. The entrance to my basement is through the house and they laid down protective materials to protect my floors and were very careful not to damage anything or spill oil as they worked and moved materials, tools and supplies in and out of the basement. They also handled all the permitting and inspections. I hope to never have to do this again, but if I do, I will call Sterling to do the job. "

Environmental Management Associates, Inc., is a full service environmental consultant and contractor. We specialize in residential and commercial services including oil tank removal and remediation. In addition we are well versed in mold assessment testing and mitigation. In business since 1994, EMA, Inc., operates with a pedigree of professionalism to satisfy their customers.

"EMA is definitely a very good and reliable company. Just had oil tank removed and although there were unexpected additional charges because of a small hole in tank, Mike was very nice and explained everything. Just wished DEP was not so strict because they cost us an additional $1900 even without any contamination. I picked this company because it had very good reviews not just for their professional service but they are a lot lower than all the other companies I looked into. Our first estimate was $1,400 more than EMA!! I called several companies and I am so glad I went with them."

With over 20 years in business servicing Mercer, Monmouth, & Ocean counties, J R Scapes provides an excellent quality service. Specializing in hardscape & landscape. We are Owner Operated and James will be present on all job sites from start to finish. Plan now for years of enjoyment, weather it’s a simple patio to a backyard oasis give us a call for a free estimate today.

"We LOVE our new backyard patio and concrete walkway. I wish I could post pics here of the before and after pictures of the work James (J R Scapes) did. First of all, I called James at 10am on a Saturday morning and within 2 hours he was at my home and answered every question (we had alot of them), gave his suggestions, showed us the patio block colors & styles (Techo Bloc) and spent about 1 1/2 hrs. talking with us and gave us a specific dollar breakdown of all the material that would be used. And James saw that we had 2 smaller dogs and suggested that when we were replacing our landscaping rocks/stones, that we should get a smaller, more rounded rocks/stone so it would be easier for our dogs to walk on. Well, it took me and my husband 5 minutes to discuss that James/J R Scapes was "our guy". We did get a quote from another contractor, who was cheaper. But that contractor spent about 15 min. at the house and did not go in depth about the product or what he would specifically be doing. We were not impressed on his knowledge of his product or what he proposed for the project. But after meeting with James and all the time he spent with us for our projects, we felt at ease and more confident on hiring him. Within 2 weeks our project started and James was working along with his crew...Carl, Phil & Greg. I have to say, these gentlemen were polite, extremely hardworking and took pride in their work, ensuring my projects were nothing less than perfect and beautiful. We just LOVE, LOVE our new backyard and I am showing off the before and after pictures of my patio and front walkway like a mom showing off pics of her kids! LOL. Throughout the whole process, James was there assisting his crew and they were on time each day, worked the entire day and were simply nice, hard working guys. All these gentlemen were "pros" and knew exactly what to do to get the job done professionally. And they didn't mine me asking questions either - LOL. I really had no idea how much I could love the completed projects and I would certainly hire J R Scapes without any hesitation. He will be our "go to guy" for any landscaping or hardscaping needs in the future."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

This depends on your location. Sewer lines can be buried anywhere from 18 inches to 8 feet deep. People in colder climates will have deeper sewer lines than people in warmer climates due to the dangers of the frost line and freezing pipes. Permits are required for all aspects of septic system installation, so the city should have the building plans for your system, which will tell you how deep your lines are.

Digging a bush up by the roots is the most natural DIY method for removing a bush stump. Start by identifying the shrub type and revealing its roots. Cut the shrub to its base and loosen the soil, ensuring no utility lines are nearby. Optionally, treat the base with herbicide, then dig around the roots and cut a circle around the shrub using various tools. Dig a trench, cut the base of the root ball, and finally fill the hole to prevent regrowth. This thorough process ensures complete removal without damaging surrounding areas.

Trenching is not the same as boring. Boring uses a drill to make a tunnel for underground utilities, but trenching involves digging with an excavator, trencher, backhoe, or shovel. Boring is more precise and expensive, and it’s best for installing utilities underneath buildings, roads, and bodies of water. Trenching is simpler but can cause more disruption to landscaping and ecosystems.

Chipmunks dig their burrows about three feet deep and up to 30 feet long. The entrances can be two inches wide or more. Chipmunks are fiercely protective of their burrows and use them to protect the nuts and seeds they gather for the long winters.

Trenches are 12 to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, the right depth for your trench will depend on the nature of your project. For example, if you’re digging a trench as part of a French drain installation, it should be 18 inches deep. An excavation professional can explain how deep your trench should be.
