"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

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.

Sewer lines can be buried anywhere from 18 inches to 8 feet deep, with a common average depth between 18 and 30 inches. The exact depth depends on local factors like climate and soil type. In colder regions, pipes must be buried deeper (below the frost line) to prevent freezing, sometimes as deep as 8 feet. The digging depth can also impact the cost of sewer line replacement. To find the specific depth for your property, you can check the building plans for your system, which should be on file with your city or local sanitation department since permits are required for installation.

Digging a well can cost between $20 and $25,000, depending on your needs. If you’re looking to dig a well yourself, all you need is a shovel. If you’re looking to have a well drilled by a professional, you can expect to pay around $15 to $30 per foot. The total cost of drilling a well will average to $5,500.

Completion time ranges from days to weeks, contingent on project size, environmental conditions, and regulatory approvals.

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.
