"We had a shed pad installed for our new shed. Bob really worked to make sure we understood the different types of pads we could get as well as the ground leveling process. He was the only contractor we talked to that put the pad in the ground (excavating some dirt) so that it didn't just sit on top. As an added bonus, he swiped away a patch of really thick ivy that we've been struggling with. When scheduling the pad, he did delay the installation due to weather issues, showing real concern that if we didn't delay at least a day, the installation would be less than the professional level he likes to leave with. I left for the morning to go to work and when I came home, the pad was ready for a shed.
Bob shows a concern for his homeowner's well being in all matters and is very knowledgable. I fully recomend him to anyone seeking a similar install, and will consider Rock-a-fella's when ever I have a gravelly/patio/deck need in the future.

12/20/2023 - Please Note I am very blessed to say things have been very busy for me the past few months starting out on my own and I apologize for any late response or double messages sent by accident or not being able to book as soon as i would like to be able to. I will have a full office staff soon but until then, I rather keep my perfect rating by going slow and not make any mistakes or rushed appointments that I know I can't make and waste your time waiting for me. also, if you are outside of my service area and would like my free HONEST opinion on an estimate that was left for you via phone call don't hesitate to reach out a few basic questions I can let you know if something sounds off. 610-840-7088 \n\nMy name is Chris and I am the owner of Clark Chimney and Masonry.

"Some years ago, we had the drain pipe replaced that drains the back yard into a pipe in the basement, which then connects to the drain pipe to the city stormwater/sewer system.  Ever since, water has come in directly around the pipe during heavy or persistent, soaking rain.  Plumbers had confirmed there was no leak in the pipes, and concrete contractors had stated that the concrete in the back yard and basement looked good.  Rightway proposed to excavate the concrete back yard around the drain pipe, seal the area around the pipe with hydraulic cement with tar and plastic coatings, backfill, and replace the concrete yard surface.  All of this was done within a day, working in tight quarters.  The crew was friendly and courteous.  They had to buy extra cement to fill areas that had washed away under the pipe.  The finished concrete looks nice.  Then we waited for the rain.
A heavy rain fell about a month later, and unfortunately the repair did not solve the problem.  Rightway returned to investigate, and we were all mystified.  It was unclear whether further repairs to the wall, beyond rebuilding, would have fixed the problem.  Rightway offered, under its warranty, to install a drain and sump pump in this corner of the basement floor to catch and dispose of the water that enters the basement at this location.  Again, all work was done in less than a day, working in tight quarters in the basement, working around the hot water heater, appliances, and electrical meter and ground.  This new crew was again courteous, and hung plastic to keep concrete dust from wafting up the stairs when they broke up the basement floor.  While it doesn't stop the water from coming in, it no longer floods the back of my basement.  All storms since have been well contained in the sump pit, and the basement remains dry.
All Rightway employees, from salesman to crew to office staff, were courteous, responsive, and answered my many questions with patience.

"I decided to go with Caruso because they could do a couple of smaller jobs at one time, which was convenient. The driveway job was more complicated than expected due to heavy clay that needed to be cleared for the driveway extension. They brought in a larger excavator and were able to get through the job. They worked through the weekend to get the job done, and I am happy with the results. I would hire again."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Trenching and boring are two distinct methods for installing underground utilities. Trenching involves digging a channel using equipment like an excavator, trencher, backhoe, or shovel. While it is a simpler process, it causes significant disruption to the surface, landscaping, and surrounding ecosystems.

Boring, also known as directional boring, is a less invasive alternative that uses a drill to create a tunnel for utility lines without disturbing the surface. This method is more precise and is ideal for installations that need to go underneath buildings, roads, or bodies of water. Although boring is less disruptive, it is generally more expensive than trenching.

Yes. A metal detector is one of the quickest and easiest ways to find your septic tank. However, metal detectors can be too expensive (costing upward of $300 in some cases), and not everyone has a metal detector just lying around. If that’s the case for you, you can also take a long metal rod and poke it into the ground at regular intervals until you hit something—likely your septic tank lid.

The average cost of excavation is approximately $3,200, with typical projects ranging from $500 to $15,000. Depending on the contractor, you may be charged between $50 and $200 per cubic yard or an hourly rate of $40 to $180 for an excavation specialist. The total cost is influenced by several factors, including the project size, the amount of soil to be removed, and the soil's condition. Hard soil, tree roots, or excessive rocks and clay can increase the price, potentially adding $200 to $1,200 to the final bill. Other factors that can drive up costs include the presence of nearby structures that complicate the work or tight spaces that require manual excavation instead of heavy machinery.

The cost to drill a well varies, with a national average of around $5,500 for a 150-foot well. However, prices can fluctuate significantly based on several factors, including your location, the required well depth, geological conditions, local regulations, and the specific drilling methods used. For the most accurate cost assessment, it is best to research and get quotes from local well-drilling professionals in your area.

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.
