"Excellent Paver Installation – Highly Recommend! I recently hired this contractor to install pavers on my driveway and garage, and the results were outstanding. The quality of the work was excellent, but what truly set this project apart was working with such a responsible and professional contractor. He executed every part of the job in a timely manner and kept everything on schedule. His workers were polite, respectful, and paid close attention to the small details that make a big difference in the finished product. I also appreciated that he corrected few issues by a different contractor from two years earlier; something he didn’t have to do, but did thoroughly and without hesitation. Overall, the entire experience was very pleasant. His politeness, clear communication, and reliable, on-time delivery made the process smooth from start to finish. Given the outstanding results and professionalism, I highly recommend this contractor and wouldn’t hesitate to use him again."

"We just finished a project with Richard. He was incredibly helpful when he assessed the area we wanted to clear to put in a shed. He gave us a really good estimate and finished the job in record time. He was professional and very knowledgeable when it came to specifications. His crew was also very helpful and respectful of my concerns. We are already talking about other projects I would like him to take on. Definitely recommend Tricon Excavating for your future projects."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

No, fire blight does not survive free in the soil but instead is carried through insects, animals, rain, or wind during the spring. Keep in mind that it can also spread on tools, which is why you should always disinfect them in between cuts.

Your contractor should handle dust control during the project. It's best to speak with your contractor beforehand to check if they plan to cover your furniture, protect your vents, or use fans to redirect dust. Eliminating drywall dust is a particularly large challenge during construction, so always take this into account during your planning phase.

The easier way to find buried sprinkler lines is to use the plan from the professionals who installed the system. If you don’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’ll likely be able to connect the dots between them, revealing the system below.

The best method for digging a trench depends on the scope of the project. For a short, shallow trench (less than 2 feet deep) in light, soft soil, digging by hand may be sufficient. However, digging by hand is labor-intensive, so consider the effort required. A machine trencher is the better option for longer trenches (over 100 feet), deeper ones, or when dealing with difficult soil conditions, such as rocky or hard ground, or obstructions like tree roots. A machine can save significant time and energy in these situations.

If you don’t wish to dig it out and convert it into a finished basement, you can still encapsulate your crawl space to protect it from damage for an average cost of $5,500. Finishing a crawl space beyond this isn’t really worthwhile, as the low ceilings mean you won’t be able to use the area as living space.
