Customers say: Quick response

"After my wife and I interviewed other contractors to rectify a very difficult basement flooding problem, we met with Marc the owner of this company: (HVL&D). Everything had to be done; repairing the foundation, creating inside drains and installing two sump pumps are only some of the things that had to be done. We are a working family who has done most of all home repair work ourselves, but knew when we had met our match. HVL&D had ALL equipment needed and was able to get all the parts needed very fast! He not only accomplished what he set out to do but re-landscaped everywhere all his crew worked and went above what we paid them to do. They were extremely neet and professional. These are the guys to call for any water issues in the yard and home. Will probably have them build a deck for us when ready! VERY capable folks. They give you what you pay for!"

"The experience working with Pedro and his team was excellent from start to finish. Our project was to â wrapâ our new hybrid pool (partial above, partial in ground, set into a hill) with a stone look concrete product and build a concrete paver patio around the pool. I was designing the project myself (not a designer, just a weekend warrior homeowner) and Pedro was great at providing design suggestions early on in the process, as early as the initial estimate in fact, which helped me refine my design because he understood the unique drainage needs of my property and the challenges and benefits of working with certain hard scape products (I didnâ t get this from other contractors that were bidding on the job). His estimate wasnâ t the lowest but certainly not the highest; I tend to discount the low end estimates because those contractors tend to have surprise charges after youâ ve past a point of no return. Once we were in contract the materials were ordered and delivered on time. We had challenging weather and a swampy yard and Pedro and team were very flexible with the start date and working days throughout, always keeping me up to speed on the plan and communicating with me so I was informed. The project execution was seamless, deliveries were orchestrated, progress was fast and when design questions arose Pedro was quick to seek my input so that we got the product that we truly wanted. When the work was complete, on time and on budget, we had a beautiful pool area that exceeded our expectations. To underscore Pedroâ s commitment to his work and his customers, he came back one week later to temporarily remove a handful of pavers because the pool guys needed to access the skimmer to fix an issue from when the pool was initially installed (didnâ t know about it until after) and then of course reinstalled them to their original state. I canâ t provide enough praise for the work that Pedro and his team performed. He will be our landscaping / hardscaping project go-to for all our future projects. Materials used: â ¢ Rosetta Belvedere (pool and main retaining wall) â ¢ Rosetta Kodah (retaining wall around perimeter of patio) â ¢ Unilock Beacon Hill (patio)"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Excavation is priced in cubic yards, so you’ll need to find the volume of the area in order to calculate costs. Multiply the length, width, and proposed depth of your excavation site, then convert it into yards to get the volume. Multiply this figure by the price per cubic yard.

Most homeowners can measure by hand to get a rough estimate, even if it’s tedious. You may want to pull out a tape measure or use a string to help mark the area.

Yes, you can install a trench drain if you already have concrete in your yard or garden. While it can complicate some aspects of the job and slightly run up the cost, it is doable. Residential trench drains can be easily retrofitted to outdoor areas with concrete without having to remove excessive amounts of your patio, pool area, or decorative walkways.

There are several different factors that influence how long it takes to excavate. For a foundation, it could take anywhere from three days to three weeks. It can take even longer if you face weather-related delays or an inaccessible site that’s riddled with boulders and rough terrain. It may also take longer if you have clay soil, which is more difficult to dig.

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.

Yes, trenchers can go through gravel. Gravel is made up of smaller, softer rocks that certain trenchers are able to cut through. Just be sure to use a rock wheel trencher or chain trencher, both of which are made to cut through rocky landscapes and gravel pathways without dulling the teeth or chain.
