"Met with Mike from finest property maintenance to discuss some drainage & landscape ideas for my yard. Not only was he the best priced around but he was honest, he told me what he recommends and what I really didn't need. Talking with him he cut the fluff and extra sales pitch I felt with so many other companies and it really showed. Mike & his crew were dependable respectful of the property and neighbors and went above and beyond to make sure every single need on our list was met ! I highly recommend finest for any of your work, it's clear their knowledge spans across multiple trades and mike had some knowledge and recommendations for alot of my project!"

"United's estimate was lower than most of the half dozen I got for my >1,000 square ft yard (back & both sides) project. Marvin & crew delivered as promised and performed each step as stated (excavation, leveling, base & top layers of gravel, compacting, pavers & polymeric sand). Started & finished on time. While not on-site all the time, Marvin visited just about every day & always returned my calls promptly. He suggested a window well, which I hadn't considered & he was right. He met reasonable requests I made & covered all the bases. His crew was courteous, responsive, worked hard & cleaned up after completion. Marvin is a seasoned professional, is knowledgeable, was responsive and met all his commitments & deliverables. He seemed genuine & his communication was clear throughout. I am glad I chose United Corp, primarily because of Marvin & the work his crew performed. As far as the end result goes - so far, so good. After 3 weeks, I have no issues with the workmanship. Let's see if anything develops from here. My one disappointment is that a few of the pavers appear to be discolored. Marvin said I'd have to take it up with the supplier (pavers are Techo-Bloc). Naturally I'm not happy with this. In my opinion, if pavers appear to be blemished, they should not be used. Maybe if I wet-look seal it, it will no longer be an issue. Bottom line is I'm glad I chose United. Marvin was the face of United during my entire project & I'm glad he was. The price was competitive, the project was finished on-time & within budget, the quality of work is good & there were no surprises. While not an expert in the field, based on what little I know, I am satisfied & would hire Marvin & his crew again."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Sewer lines can be buried anywhere from 18 inches to 8 feet deep, with a common average depth between 18 and 30 inches. The exact depth depends on local factors like climate and soil type. In colder regions, pipes must be buried deeper (below the frost line) to prevent freezing, sometimes as deep as 8 feet. The digging depth can also impact the cost of sewer line replacement. To find the specific depth for your property, you can check the building plans for your system, which should be on file with your city or local sanitation department since permits are required for installation.

There are several different factors that influence how long it takes to excavate. For a foundation, it could take anywhere from three days to three weeks. It can take even longer if you face weather-related delays or an inaccessible site that’s riddled with boulders and rough terrain. It may also take longer if you have clay soil, which is more difficult to dig.

It’s possible to transplant trees as tall as 50 feet when an experienced tree planting service uses the right equipment. However, a tree with a trunk larger than two or three inches in diameter needs to be handled by a professional in order to yield successful transplanting results. Consulting a tree planting professional is the best way to tell if your large tree can be safely transplanted.

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.

Yes, professional installations include trenching or borehole drilling required for ground loops.
