"Scott rebuilt my kitchen. Not only did he install all of my appliances, he also built me a breakfast nook. Tiles are flushed together making the surfaces smooth and easy to clean. He communicated with me through each process of renovations and addressed all of my concerns. He also built a drainage system through my yard and both at the top and bottom of my driveway to prevent flooding. If I ever had a question, he always had an answer."

"Willie from G&R Landscaping was very professional, and did an incredible job on my property. His attention to detail was like no other, and his work was exactly as we discussed. He installed a belgium block border on my driveway, and his work was extremely neat and clean. Willie also put top soil/seed in a section on my yard, and cleaned out brush and leaves behind my shed and completed everything perfectly. Willie is very responsive and willing to listen and give advice about anything landscape related. His price is very fair and he keeps the customer in mind throughout the whole job. I would recommend him to anyone."

"With my wife being sick and the long hours I was putting in, we had at least 3 years' worth of leaves in our yard. Last week I noticed a landscaper doing my neighbor's yard and they we very meticulous. When they were done, I approached them and ask about my yard. Jerry walked he yard and said no problem. They came by yesterday and WOW what a job they did, my yard looks beautiful. The price was right for the amount of leaves they had to clean up....My wife and I HIGHLY recommend Sunshine Landscape's in Chester NY...."

"When I bought my house, I had gardens and flowerbeds in the front yard that were in desperate need of attention. They were able to cut everything back, pull out the overgrown weeds, and replace the mulch. They did a great job and I will definitely be using them again."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

There is no standard depth for burying a septic tank; they are typically buried anywhere from 4 inches to 4 feet underground. The final depth depends on several factors, including the depth of your main sewer line, the height of the bedrock, soil type, local regulations, and the property's landscape. If you plan to grow grass or plants over the tank, a depth of at least 4 to 6 inches is recommended. Deeper tanks can be more difficult to locate, but a septic professional can help find it for you.

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.

A joint utility trench, or joint trench, is a long, buried ditch on a property that contains two or more utility lines rather than running the lines in multiple trenches. Some utilities, like gas and electric or electric and communication lines, are better suited to joint trenching, while others, like water and sewer, are not allowed to be in the same trench.

Consultation with the local government helps identify necessary permits, avoid project delays or legal issues, and protect project integrity.

In the United States, a depth of 36 inches (three feet) for underground water lines is the accepted industry standard. This depth varies from location to location based on local conditions. In areas with colder winters, they may be buried deeper to prevent frozen well water pipes : This is usually at least six inches below the frost level. The International Plumbing Code calls for a minimum of 12 inches below grade.
