"I had to follow up two to three times to get the date set to start the job. The job was done fairly quickly and satisfied with outlook. However, they left trim and rods in the yard from drainage bed. My expectation is for a hired company to clean up afterward."

"I can?t thank Ali?s Landscaping & Property Services enough for the amazing job they did with my junk removal. As an elderly person, the whole process felt overwhelming, but Ali made everything so easy and stress-free from start to finish. They were hardworking, respectful, and handled everything quickly and carefully. They showed up on time, worked incredibly hard, and made sure I didn?t have to lift a finger. It?s hard to find people these days who truly care about helping others, but you can tell they genuinely care about their customers. My property looks so much better now, and I?m beyond grateful for their help. I highly recommend Ali?s Landscaping & Property Services to anyone needing junk removal or property services done right!"

"Brendan was friendly and very quick to respond. He gave a few options at different price points for a gravel driveway and the estimates were very detailed. He was able to schedule it quickly and had everything done in a day while still being a perfectionist. I will be using him in the future and recommending him to others!"

Small jobs welcome

"I never used Angi but so glad I did. All Elements llc came to my rescue. As a disabled Veteran I can not move much and needed a recliner sofa removed quick since a new one was being delivered within a few days. Angi sent me Mike from All Elements. I called he was so accommodated and said no worries. He came with his fiancee and they were so friendly, helpful and just wonderful people. I will be hiring them again in the Spring to help with my storage unit. I knew I was in good hands and was such a relief to have met Mike. Now I can sleep better at night."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Hardscaping often requires preparation of the ground in the area where the feature is being installed. This can include digging, compacting, and leveling the soil, ensuring adequate drainage, and removing any existing plants. The extent of preparation needed will depend on the type and size of the hardscaping feature being installed.

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.

Septic drain lines (or leach lines) are typically buried between 18 and 36 inches underground, and should be at least 6 inches below the surface. These pipes are perforated and surrounded by filtering materials like sand or gravel. Burying the lines at this depth helps minimize odors and allows bacteria and other biological processes in the soil to effectively treat the wastewater. Burying lines too close to the surface can cause issues unless the soil is very compact and stable.

Some two-in-one tools and machines do both jobs, and those could be the right solution for smaller residential projects. However, the phrase “use the right tool for the job” definitely applies to digging. For the best results, get two separate tools for your trenching and landscape edging projects or call a pro to take care of everything for you.

Trenching is a specific kind of digging. Trenching means digging a depression in the earth that’s deeper than it is wide, often with heavy machinery. Digging refers to any kind of removal of earth in order to create a human-made depression, hole, or cut in the earth’s surface. You can dig with big tools or even with just a hand shovel.
