"Joe at Baker Landworx did a phenomenal job cleaning up our new home’s yard, garden beds, and shrubbery. Joe had excellent communication with us throughout the process and his team was extremely thorough in not only getting done what we had requested but in leaving our property looking meticulously cared for. For all the work that we had completed, they were affordably priced and we will definitely be utilizing their services in the future!"

"Rob and his team at Cappella Enterprises are exceptional at what they do. Their deep understanding of retaining wall design, permitting, and construction made the entire process smooth from start to finish. I obtained several bids for my project, but Rob was the only contractor who presented a comprehensive plan that addressed every aspect of the work. He completed the wall design and delivered engineer‑stamped plans for my building permit in about a week—and at a very reasonable cost. As an engineer myself, I even consulted colleagues who specialize in retaining walls, and none of them could match Rob’s pricing or turnaround time. Beyond that, Rob’s construction methods are clearly superior to those used by other contractors. When I began the project, I only had a general idea of what I wanted. Rob took those ideas and transformed them into a complete, well‑thought‑out vision, guided by his extensive experience. What impressed me most was his ability to handle unexpected challenges"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

To drill a shallow well, you may be able to use a drive well point. This is a tapered point that is driven into the ground. A drill bit at the end of PVC pipe may be another option to consider. A lot of the cost depends on what tools are available near you.

How deep your septic system needs to be into the ground depends on several factors. In extremely cold environments, the tank needs to rest below the maximum frost line, which can be up to six or eight feet deep. The standard burying depth for most systems is between a few inches and four feet below ground level. Depth can also depend on the slope of the landscaping and other property variables. 

Hard soil could be a sign of overly dry dirt, either from poor drainage or drought. It's important to test the nutrient levels, density, and drainage capacity of your soil to see if it's absorbing water properly. Begin by adding a light layer of water and observing how long the soil retains moisture. If you experience a good deal of runoff, you may need to aerate your lawn, apply a wetting agent, or hire a professional for a closer look.

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.
