"My husband and I had a paver patio put in last month by PPM. We could not be happier with the outcome. Austin and his team were very responsive and followed through with everything they planned out. The whole crew did an excellent job and everyone that has come over to our house has commented on how amazing out patio looks! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to have pavers done!"

"We acquired a vacant lot next door to us, and had it cleared. However, land contours caused a couple of living-room sized ponds to appear after heavy rains. I anticipated having a drainage ditch dug and stone filled to drain the water away. Ground Tech owner Kevin Cummin looked the situation over, and suggested resloping the land would drain away the water and leave the land more intact and usable. It would also be less expensive. He did an excellent job of re-contouring the land, added top soil, and raked in grass seed. He held off the top soil for a rainy day (1 day), to make sure the drainage was correct, and one more day so the mud exposed by re-contouring could dry a bit. While on the job, I asked him for a quote on two other improvement jobs (lining a shoreline with gabian stones, and removing stump grindings). The quotes were very reasonable, and I am extremely satisfied with the results and appearance of his work. He told me when he would be on site, and was here at those times. The work was done as soon as feasible (weather controls a lot of outdoor work). The price quoted was agreed to, and there was no attempt haggle upward as has happened with some others. He planned the progress of the job very well. And the man is a master at using the small backhoe and Bobcat machines needed for my work. Honest work for an honest price! I am well pleased."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.

While general contractors sometimes handle demolition, you can also look specifically for local demolition contractors. Demolition experts need to understand structural integrity, the equipment needed for safe demolition, and the permits required for demolition.

Digging a bush up by the roots is the most natural DIY method for removing a bush stump. Start by identifying the shrub type and revealing its roots. Cut the shrub to its base and loosen the soil, ensuring no utility lines are nearby. Optionally, treat the base with herbicide, then dig around the roots and cut a circle around the shrub using various tools. Dig a trench, cut the base of the root ball, and finally fill the hole to prevent regrowth. This thorough process ensures complete removal without damaging surrounding areas.

The digging depth will depend on the size of the trencher you use. Even smaller units can dig up to 4 feet deep, which is plenty for a DIY job. However, much larger trenchers can reach a depth of 18 feet and are better used by a team of pro contractors, not a single DIYer. As with all home improvement projects, use the right tool for the job and proceed with caution.

Yes, you can technically make a crawl space liveable, but the only way to do so is by converting it into a basement. While some crawl spaces are big enough to walk through and store large items, they lack appropriate insulation and space to be liveable.
