"Will and his crew did a great job. Nice guys, gave great advice in regards to trees that showed signs of decay. They showed up on time and completed on time. The crew took down some trees very close to my house and my next-door neighbor's house with precision and no damage to either property. Not an easy job! The guys also took some deadfall from a past storm, which was very helpful to us. All the guys were nice to talk to, very accommodating, took the extra step to go above and beyond. Dropped trees with precision!! Also left me with a nice supply of firewood cut into 24 or 36-inch long logs for my fireplace. Please note that prior to hiring Minimally Invasive, I had requested quotes from 7 other companies. 2 were no-shows, and out of the other 5, they either grossly overbid the job or seemed like they would be abrasive to deal with or just plain unreliable. One could not even tell me which month he could do it in. When Will and the crew finished the job, I told the guys that he (they) are my tree guys for life. Great group of guys, worked their rear ends off and were respectful of my property."

"Great Experience! I contacted G&G Landscaping to help me clean up and landscape my front garden area. They responded right away we talked about my ideas and then met with me to discuss the details. I got the estimate the next day and was told they could get me in the following day to get it done. They came when they said they would they were professional, got all the work done in one day and it looks fantastic! It is exactly what I wanted. They even weeded out some extra areas and got flowers put in. When I got back from work everything was cleaned up so well you wouldn't have known anyone was there doing work that day. Highly recommended. I would hire again for sure."

"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!"

"Very well. Mike and crew were prompt, diligent, and hard working. Mike communicated well before and during the job. We had a young tree planted and some clearing and planting of several bushes as a backyard border. Clean up and overall appearance are great. Can't wait till spring!"

"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!"

"I hired Mike to remove a 150 ft row of overgrown brush that had an old fence running in the middle. The day of the job Mike arrived on time and had all the proper equipment for the job. He was able to complete this job in a day. After the removal he added top soil and graded my lawn so now the water runs to the road and doesn’t pool in my yard. He listen to what I wanted and gave his advice and I am thrilled with the result. I would highly recommend Mike."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Above ground pools are not buried in the ground. Typically, above ground pools are semi-permanent. One reason they’re more affordable is that you don’t have to dig for an inground pool and pour concrete or another material. However, you can choose to install a semi inground pool, which is a hybrid between the two.

Concrete blocks are the cheapest way to base a shed. However, the space in between allows critters to go under, burrow, and even damage your shed’s frame. For a more pest-proof option, consider building a shed base with gravel or paver stones. Both options are fairly affordable and easy enough for a DIY project. For gravel, you can build a wooden frame to contain the loose material.

Yes. A metal detector is one of the quickest and easiest ways to find your septic tank. However, metal detectors can be too expensive (costing upward of $300 in some cases), and not everyone has a metal detector just lying around. If that’s the case for you, you can also take a long metal rod and poke it into the ground at regular intervals until you hit something—likely your septic tank lid.

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.

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.
