"He did a great job. He did extra work that I didn't even think about. He was very creative and he helped me a lot since I didn't know how to tackle the project. I have recommended him and he even did additional jobs for friends of mine."

"In 2010, we changed our beat-up deck to a new patio and used Napolitano Brothers for the upgrade. The patio came out better than expected and completed within 1 1/2 weeks (despite several days of rain storms). In 2016, we decided to expand our patio to include a bar/cooking area for grilling and a fire-pit to enjoy the cooler days. Without a doubt, we returned to Napolitano Brothers and they did a fabulous job. The work was seemless (as if we had the work done in 2010) and completed within about a week's time. Both jobs worked out perfectly and my wife and I highly recommend Napolitano Brothers. They have decades of experience and don't overbook jobs so they complete timely and with precision."

"It went well. The two man team came within the scheduled appointment window, worked quickly, completed the removal quickly, and made sure that the area was clean before they departed. They were professional, willingly answered any questions, and were courteous. The appointment was made through Angie's list, the main office was quick to respond , schedule the appointment, and provided a site unseen estimate upon receiving a description of the materials to be removed that was pretty close to the final price."

"We had a messy curly willow
that was too close to the house for me to cut. Eddy were quick to
come out and give us a quote I could not refuse. They said they would
try to get us in before the weekend (4 days away) and they were at the
house a day later. They were safe, quick and cleaned up very well. Even
after they got into their truck to leave - the truck stopped, one of the
guys hopped out and ran out into the lawn to pick up a few missed
chips. I HIGHLY recommend this business!

"Team from South Shore LI Contracting was responsive and solutions oriented around this project and the challenges it posed. Basic project was removal of a dilapidated structure - challenge was the delivery of their equipment (unique driveway) and the coordination with the ancillary services (container company). They scoped out any potential issues by site visit, constant communication with me as the remote owner, and contacting and evaluating the subs for the containers. They came on time and completed the demo and cleanup within the estimated timeframe they proposed. Excellent experience for my first use of the Angi service - and this was not a low cost project. (Four figures). Would definitely recommend them for more work of this type."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Most professional excavation teams will charge between $8 and $15 per cubic yard. Calculate the cost by finding the volume of your pool—width x length x depth—and dividing it by 27. Then, multiply the price by the cubic yards from your equation. Budget for complications like a rocky lawn, hard-to-access pool area, or high local labor prices.

Your contractor should handle dust control during the project. It's best to speak with your contractor beforehand to check if they plan to cover your furniture, protect your vents, or use fans to redirect dust. Eliminating drywall dust is a particularly large challenge during construction, so always take this into account during your planning phase.

Landscape edging is more DIYable than trenching. You can DIY your own digging projects, but proceed carefully and only with proper knowledge of the equipment and appropriate safety measures in place. Keep in mind the project's scope and estimate how long it will take you to do it on your own. While you can certainly save money by DIYing home improvement projects, you can’t exactly hide an unfinished—or worse, ruined— landscaping job from the neighbors. It’s always safer to call an excavation pro near you to get an estimate.

The best type of soil to build on is a mixture of sand and clay, known as loam soil. Loam soil has the best combination of these soil types to build a foundation on. The clay particles help with water retention, so it won’t erode like sandy soil might, and the sandy particles help with drainage, so you won’t see unsafe soil expansion or have an increased risk of leaks from water sitting against your foundation.

The rules for trenching and excavation include setting up and following safety protocols, learning how to use tools and machines properly, and ensuring there is a safe exit for all workers. Keep heavy equipment and materials away from the edge of the hole or trench. Call the 811 dig line before starting any excavation or trenching project to ensure you don’t hit any electrical or gas lines.
