"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 questions, answered by experts

You can bury underground electrical wire six inches deep—but only if you use a rigid metal electrical conduit. For rigid, non-metallic conduits, bury the wire at least 12 inches deep. If using an underground feeder cable rated for direct burial, you'll need to place it at least 18 inches deep, as it has no conduit for extra protection.

It can take several weeks for the ground to settle after removing a tree, and the soil under larger, more mature trees can take months. The deeper the tree has been ground under the soil, the longer it will take to settle. However, this extra depth can help you plant new landscaping sooner because you’ll have more space for fresh soil.

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.

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.

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even for projects that only involve grading or yard leveling. Permit requirements depend on your local government and the scope of the project, but they are especially common for significant digging or work that could affect utilities or public property. These permits help protect the local topography and prevent drainage issues. An experienced excavation company will typically know whether permits are needed and can often handle the process of pulling and closing them for you. You can also verify permit requirements by contacting your local building department and describing your project.
