"He put in a hot water heater for us as well as a new pipe to get our outdoor water spigot working again. Then he put in a new toilet and breather pipe. Very clean, confident, and exceptionally professional. The cost was approximately what I expected. He works quickly and with quality in mind. I highly recommend Andrews Property Maintenance."

"Customer Service, timeliness, cost, follow through and delivery on promises made, this organization misses nothing at all. The only thing more impressive than all the items I just listed is the site cleanup they do on the way out. From top notch customer care and attention to detail, to politeness overall outstanding quality, this team is a true group of professionals who drivers on time and every time. Small, medium, and large landscaping services, to removal of 100 foot tall maple trees in near impossible conditions, there is nothing this outfit cannot do. I have used them more than a dozen times so far on all sort of landscaping jobs both residential and commercial, and I wouldn’t hesitate to use them a dozen times again."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

A crawl space can be as little as 42 inches below the grade of your house, but this is not always recommended in flood-prone areas. At a minimum, there must be at least 16 inches of clearance between the ground and the floor joists to access the space in an emergency.

While you can save some money by digging your own pool, you may end up paying more in construction equipment rental fees in the long run. You could, however, focus your DIY energies on lowering the cost of leveling your lawn for your pool or filling in surrounding landscaping after construction.

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. 

A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock.

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.
