We are a local Excavating Contractor that strives for customer service with a quality outcome. We specialize in: Land Clearing, Land Management (thinning out property), Grading, Drainage of all types, Retaining Walls, most all landscaping projects. We are a Veteran-Owned small business with a small tight-night hard working crew. We work hard to provide quality work that can put your mind at ease.

"I have nothing but the highest praise for Paul and his crew (Artie and James). They live up to their company name, “At Ease!” I had to fill in an in ground pool (18’ x 38’) Paul assisted/represented me w/my local municipality which had strict guidelines for residential fill, but offered no leads as to various quarries, soil testing companies and was frequently non communicative. Paul was THERE every step of the way with rapid responses, finding appropriate quarries, managed the soil testing procedures and submitted them, chose special lighter/smaller excavation equipment due to the precarious entry to my back yard and extra protective measures for our driveway. He made a complicated project simple for ME! When he couldn’t personally be on site, he was in regular communication with them (and me) and would inevitably stop by each day to see the progress made that day. I was constantly reassured of everything. "

Capella Enterprises Landscape Design & Development Inc is committed to excellence in every aspect of our business. We uphold a standard of integrity bound by fairness, honesty and personal responsibility. Our distinction is the quality of service we bring to our customers. Accurate knowledge of our trade combined with ability is what makes us true professionals. Above all, we are watchful of our customer's interests, and make their concerns the basis of our business.

"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

Yes, chipmunk holes may have two or more entrances. Chipmunks can create an entire network of burrows. Having multiple entrances makes it easier for them when trying to escape from a predator, such as a snake, or if an entrance collapses due to flooding. Each entrance leads to the nesting chamber underground, which is where the chipmunk spends the majority of its time sleeping.

Digging out a basement takes anywhere from a few days to a few months. Most projects take at least two to five weeks, but it could take several months if you encounter obstacles. This project takes longer if you need to brace or raise your home before the excavation. Digging out a basement in new construction can take as little as three days.

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.

Yes, professional installations include trenching or borehole drilling required for ground loops.

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.
