"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."

"Gene immediately responded to our request for a quote and professionally evaluated the project. Lance and his crew carefully carried out the drainage project and regrading, and made improvements to the original plan as they further evaluated the project while it was in progress. When the job was complete, all debris was removed. All around superb customer service!"

"I had an old refrigerator, microwave and some other things to be removed from my backyard. Robert was the original guy I I contacted. We talked pricing and then arranged a Time for pickup. Vinny was the worker that came out on time I may add he introduced himself and got straight to work it took him about not even 15 minutes to get all the stuff on the trailer. We talked for a bit and he informed me that they were a construction company that also did repairs and to keep them in mind if I ever needed anything which I will I've added them to my contact list. I think Robert and Vinny are phenomenal guys. They were both professional and friendly at the same time. I gave them five stars but that really not enough to describe how they made me feel like a special and valued customer. So this is my personal rating; 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟Satisfaction! 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 Friendliness! 👍🏼👍🏻👍👍🏾👍🏽👍🏿 Getting the job done!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

The physical constraints of hand-drilling a well limit the depth you can achieve. Manually digging with picks and shovels may only lead to shallow wells of up to 60 feet in depth. To reach greater depths, you need more specialized equipment. The diameter of your well and the tools you’re using will determine how far down you can dig.

Almost any kind of home can have a wine cellar or cabinet installed. You’ll need an area where a concrete floor can be put in, along with the necessary insulation, climate control, and ventilation systems. If you think of yourself as an aspiring sommelier, an underground wine cellar may be ideal, but it will cost significantly more. 

What you choose to install really depends on your budget and how many bottles you’re looking to store.

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.
