"The most important attribute of a tree service is that they show up when they say to estimate and then perform the work within a short time afterward. These guys did both. The crew worked quickly and efficiently, doing everything they were asked. I'd hire them again."

"G & G landscaping did an amazing job! Giacomo worked with us to refine the job and keep it within our budget. It turned out better than we could have anticipated. We needed to contain a hill that was eroding. Instead of a retaining wall, he had the idea to use very large boulders that matched the boulders around our pond. The end result looks like it was installed when the pond was installed. He and his crew worked nonstop until it was finished. They took care not to damage the yard with their heavy equipment and took the time to consult with me a few times during their work. I highly recommend them for hardscaping. Honest, dependable, punctual, and respectful of the property"

"Amazing service from Tim and his team. I needed three trees removed from my property and he got back to me quickly for an estimate, then just as quick to schedule the appointment. The trees were removed safely and it was amazing to see how quickly and efficiently they worked. My yard looks amazing and now it can be better utilized without the massive trees in the way. I canâ t wait for fall and not to have to spend days raking leaves from my yard! It was definitely worth every penny to make my yard safer without the trees. Iâ d recommend anyone who needs any of the services they provide to go with Dumpster Daddy over anyone else."

"I called Jake and left a message on his phone about what I was looking to have done. He got back to me within 24 hours and made arrangements to look at my project. He gave me a price based on certain conditions that had to be made on his end and told me upfront that the price could change if those conditions couldn’t be met. I agreed to that. When his conditions couldn’t be met he got back to me right away to let me know the situation. I asked for additional things to be done once he got started. I knew the cost would go ip but he lett me know that right away. He was upfront and respectful and easy to work with as was his help. I definitely recommend Jake Plasse."

"From the first estimate to the final cleanup, the whole experience was great! They were professional and showed up when they said they would. They completely transformed our yard with new landscaping, mulch beds, and trimming, and everything looks clean and polished. Fair pricing for the amount of work. We’ve already had neighbors asking who did our landscaping. Highly recommend!"

"I never used Angi but so glad I did. All Elements llc came to my rescue. As a disabled Veteran I can not move much and needed a recliner sofa removed quick since a new one was being delivered within a few days. Angi sent me Mike from All Elements. I called he was so accommodated and said no worries. He came with his fiancee and they were so friendly, helpful and just wonderful people. I will be hiring them again in the Spring to help with my storage unit. I knew I was in good hands and was such a relief to have met Mike. Now I can sleep better at night."

Customers say: True professional

"Lawrence was an excellent contractor, he contacted and coordinated with the gas company and with Galloway co-op. He checked in regularly with me and even tried to get a temporary tank when it was discovered that my propane levels would not last until the delivery date. He wasted no time and came early to start excavation a day before delivery and that a great job burying and leveling the Earth after the tank was installed. Very professional, would recommend."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

You do not have to dig footers for a deck as long as it meets local code and holds up to weather in your area. If you live somewhere that experiences high winds and earthquakes, you may need to dig for your deck posts. Deck blocks, post anchors with base plates, and helical pile systems are the three no-dig deck post options you can choose from if local code permits.

Yes, an excavation company is the best option for land grading and yard leveling. General landscapers might be able to tackle these projects, but an excavation company will do a better job because they’re used to operating the necessary heavy machinery. Landscapers might opt to do the work manually, which takes much longer and could cost you more in labor fees. Finally, excavation companies will understand local regulations and know when you need permits to legalize the work, while a landscaper might not.

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.

Downspouts should be buried at least 5 to 10 feet away from your foundation. This can vary depending on your local building codes, soil type, and property slope. The main goal is to ensure water is directed away from your foundation.

If you don’t have a crawl space but have a partial basement you want to make deeper, you can expect to spend a little less—between $40,000 and $90,000 on average. However, if you’re not adding new finished square footage, you won’t see much in the way of ROI.
