"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!"

"Damian was wonderful to work with. Remodeled our bathroom...complete gut job. They did an awesome job. I would highly recommend their services. They were clean, on time, told us what they were going to do that day. They let us know about any problems they encountered and showed us the issues as they arose. I would definately consider them for any additional projects. They even went above and beyond and helped us finish another tile floor in another part of the house."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

There are many ways to cut through roots when digging, especially if your trencher doesn’t seem to be removing the roots. First, use a shovel to expose the roots. Then, use gardening shears to clear out smaller roots or a reciprocating saw to remove larger plant roots. If you plan on keeping the plant, avoid cutting any roots over 2 inches thick.

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.

The digging depth will depend on the size of the trencher you use. Even smaller units can dig up to 4 feet deep, which is plenty for a DIY job. However, much larger trenchers can reach a depth of 18 feet and are better used by a team of pro contractors, not a single DIYer. As with all home improvement projects, use the right tool for the job and proceed with caution.

A perc test can take anywhere from one to eight hours to complete. The total time depends on factors like the amount of excavation required, the depth and width of the holes, and whether multiple test holes are needed. For a single hole, the process of filling it with water and monitoring the drainage rate usually takes less than an hour. Professionals can often complete the entire test in a single day. While it's possible to get results the same day, some companies may take a few days to provide the official report.

Above ground pools are not buried in the ground. Typically, above ground pools are semi-permanent. One reason they’re more affordable is that you don’t have to dig for an inground pool and pour concrete or another material. However, you can choose to install a semi inground pool, which is a hybrid between the two.
