"Justine was professional, knowledgeable and timely; he got me the quote and arranged a crew very quickly. Justine was always available if there were questions and was the go-to person between workers and myself. My LVP flooring is beautiful, the demo and install done smoothly. The crews were such a team!! As always, my support of local business didn't let me down."

"Ben is easy to work with. He listens to your expectations and provides alternatives to reach your desired result. Ben incorporated our modifications as the project pulled together. He also stays on budget and only exceeded the agreed upon price when incorporating our requested upgrades. His crew is extremely hard working and friendly. The crew, and Ben, take great pride in their work striving to make everything perfect. We would use this company again without any hesitation. Job well done!"

"I am very happy with the work that Mr. Fix it completed. They arrived on time and were thorough and had great communication with me. They reconfirmed all of the placing of the lights and went over the instructions for the ceiling fan remotes with me. I actually have another estimate for more work pending with them and plan on having them complete that as well. I will also recommend them to my friends."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Because decomposed granite is a durable material, a crushed rock or gravel base is optional as long as the DG is properly installed and compacted. However, installing a base is a good idea because it will ensure proper drainage and stability and act as a weed suppressant (although you may still occasionally have to pull weeds). Installing an adequate base can also increase the durability of driveways and walkways. If you forego the paver base or gravel underneath, line the area with landscaping fabric to avoid weeds.

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.

The average cost for pool excavation is $2,500. This cost can range from $450 to $4,500, depending on the pool shape and size, time of year, and any need to move buried utilities. 

When excavating for your pool, you might have to move existing utilities. You can expect to pay an additional $15 to $25 per linear foot to move gas lines. To move a septic system, it’ll cost an additional $2,000 to $20,000. A pool that is 10 feet by 12 feet averages $450 to excavate, and a 20-foot-by-40-foot pool averages $3,020.

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.
