"This is my first time using Home Advisor. I am so impressed. I hired Bulldog Cont, Inc. Chris the owner is smart, nice & really listens to what you are saying. I met with other people but between Rosemarie in Chris's office who schedules everything and his employees I would give them TEN STARS! Anyone who knows me; knows I do not give compliments that easily. I will be using Bulldog Cont, Inc. Excavating again. I already referred my neighbor to Chris. Not only is my property WOW & beautiful; they do not leave my home until everything was cleaned up. WOW... I haven't ever seen that before. THANK YOU once again Chris, Rosemario, & everyone who worked so hard!! It was so appreciated!!"

"I was impressed with Jeff, the owner, with his detailed plans and he’s creating a beautiful yard we’re enjoying completely. His work is precise and he enjoys what he’s doing and that says a lot to me. His prices are fair and it’s apparent that he wants my family satisfied with what’s done. His knowledge only added to our ideas. I wouldn’t have any other landscaping company work at my house.. This June he’ll work on completing gardens and much more, while an artist was painting a landscape of flowers on panels of our fence. I’ll be back to brag and show pictures over the summer."

"Had a backup a few days before and wanted to determine if it was a simple clog or cesspool related. They sent out a tech (Jimmy) the same day. He located both cesspools and walked me through my options. He was honest and patient, answering all my questions along the way."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.

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.

After you successfully remove your boulder, you have a few options for what to do to get rid of it. You can rent a dumpster if your yard has many boulders or if you’re planning a larger project. You can even save the boulder and reuse it elsewhere on your property to save on landscaping costs. A few ideas include using the boulder as a natural, abstract statue, breaking it into smaller pieces to line your garden bed, or offering it to a landscaping company that could reuse it for another project.

It can take several weeks for the ground to settle after removing a tree, and the soil under larger, more mature trees can take months. The deeper the tree has been ground under the soil, the longer it will take to settle. However, this extra depth can help you plant new landscaping sooner because you’ll have more space for fresh soil.

To determine whether your homeowners' insurance will cover crawl space repair, consider the cause of the issue. Repair may be covered if the problems were caused by an event that the insurance covers, such as vandalism or a windstorm. However, companies won't cover the repair if the issues are caused by neglect or wear and tear.
