"I was looking up B&B’s number to refer them to a friend and came upon this site where I could post a review. I wish I found this sooner, as B&B completed my bluestone patio over a year ago. This company is so professional. Called for an estimate, came out to see the site within days, sent me a quote within a day and once I agreed to hire them (which was a great decision), dates for install were set and the project was done within the timeframe Michael indicated. The patio came out wonderful. The company made sure to fix any disturbed land after the install. Very impressed with this company, not only for the beautiful end result, but their communication from start to finish."

"Eric was very helpful. He met me on the property despite a short notice and was very professional. Even though I ended up hiring someone else, he gave a lot of advice on the project. I will definitely consider hiring him for the next project."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

You can bury underground electrical wire six inches deep—but only if you use a rigid metal electrical conduit. For rigid, non-metallic conduits, bury the wire at least 12 inches deep. If using an underground feeder cable rated for direct burial, you'll need to place it at least 18 inches deep, as it has no conduit for extra protection.

Chipmunks dig their burrows about three feet deep and up to 30 feet long. The entrances can be two inches wide or more. Chipmunks are fiercely protective of their burrows and use them to protect the nuts and seeds they gather for the long winters.

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.

Professional installers often include a deep layer of crushed gravel under permeable pavers to allow more runoff to soak through into the soil below. Many installations will include multiple layers of gravel, with coarser aggregate at the base and finer aggregate that sits on top of that bottom layer. Above the gravel, you’ll often find coarse sand that helps reduce paver shifting over time. Some permeable paver designs include a water collection system set into the gravel layer to route runoff to a safe area for disposal.

The cost to drill a well varies, with a national average of around $5,500 for a 150-foot well. However, prices can fluctuate significantly based on several factors, including your location, the required well depth, geological conditions, local regulations, and the specific drilling methods used. For the most accurate cost assessment, it is best to research and get quotes from local well-drilling professionals in your area.
