"We would absolutely hire Cruger contracting again. James was quick to return our call and came right away, that afternoon he had come back with a very fair quote. Regraded our front lawn with 40 yards of screened soil, also laid a drainage pipe from a basement sump pump approximately 100ft. Underground. They finished the job with seeding and covered with straw mulch. Fantastic job thank you would highly recommend."

Customers say: Quick response

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Hudson Valley Landscaping & Drainage to address a persistent flooding issue in my homeâ s crawl space, and Iâ m very glad I did. Marc, the owner, demonstrated an impressive level of attention to detail, thoroughly assessed the problem, and considered both short-term solutions and long-term prevention. The work progressed swiftly. Marc and his team were punctual, arriving exactly when they said they would. Their efficiency allowed us to get back to normalcy sooner than expected. After resolving the drainage problem, I was very pleased with how beautifully they restored the affected yard space. The landscaping work was perfect. I really appreciated the dialogue about options that resulted in the thoughtful placement of plants. Itâ s like our yard got a makeover! Throughout the project, the crew maintained its professionalism. Itâ s refreshing to work with a team that takes pride in their craft and treats your home respectfully. We have already discussed what future projects are possible. And, after the recent rain storms we just had, that crawl space is as dry as a bone. If youâ re seeking a reliable, skilled team for landscaping and drainage work, look no further. Hudson Valley Landscaping & Drainage delivers exceptional results. I wholeheartedly recommend them!"

"Frank's crew expanded my driveway footprint, built beautiful stone retaining walls, and finished the job with the best paving work I have seen. A tip of the hat to the crew that was hard working and polite, and who worked through the extremely hot weather of late late August. Best Value out there. Thanks for the great work!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Errors in site preparation can lead to structural failures or appear costly midway. Professionals ensure detailed, reliable home base development layouts.

The best method for digging a trench depends on the scope of the project. For a short, shallow trench (less than 2 feet deep) in light, soft soil, digging by hand may be sufficient. However, digging by hand is labor-intensive, so consider the effort required. A machine trencher is the better option for longer trenches (over 100 feet), deeper ones, or when dealing with difficult soil conditions, such as rocky or hard ground, or obstructions like tree roots. A machine can save significant time and energy in these situations.

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.

You can dig 60 to 80 linear feet by hand per day depending on the depth. Digging a 100-foot trench by hand will take you two work days, but it can take longer if you have heavy or rocky soil. If you’re digging a deep trench or one that’s over 100 feet, consider renting a mechanical trencher, such as a walk-behind or ride-on, or calling a pro for help. 

After you successfully remove your boulder, you have a few options for what to do to get rid of it. You can rent a dumpster if your yard has many boulders or if you’re planning a larger project. You can even save the boulder and reuse it elsewhere on your property to save on landscaping costs. A few ideas include using the boulder as a natural, abstract statue, breaking it into smaller pieces to line your garden bed, or offering it to a landscaping company that could reuse it for another project.
