"I definitely recommend GMC landscaping to anyone looking to do hardscape work and will consider him in the future if I have any other projects that I would like to get done. I hired Jorge to install a new set of front steps and a couple relatively large retaining walls around my driveway. Throughout the entire process, he was very easy to get in contact with and if I ever had a question, he was always very prompt to get back to me. Jorge was also very flexible with me as well. I was working on a budget and was willing to put in some labor myself to tear down and dispose of the old steps and wooden retaining walls. I was able to do most of the demolition work myself before his crew came out for the prep and install. His crew are extremely hard workers. There were a few relatively hot days and a lot of the work needed to be done by hand. His guys have an extremely good work ethic and it was impressive seeing them get so much done in a short amount of time. Each one of the blocks they used weighed 80lbs+ a piece and I can tell that their work is going to stand the test of time. The walls and steps are straight and level and the quality of materials used are going to last a long time. The results have blown away my expectations. I've had multiple people stop after seeing the new steps and walls installed and asked for Jorge's information after seeing his work."

"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."

"Had the opportunity to experience Lilco's work on several projects. These guys always had a professional attitude and took the time for all preparations and quality control. They did not leave a mess or unwarranted damages like so many fly-by-night contractors tend to do. They even magnet swept driveways for screws/nails whenever they finished loading out for the night. The owner is always up front about any costs, with no hidden charges to get the jobs done."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can technically make a crawl space liveable, but the only way to do so is by converting it into a basement. While some crawl spaces are big enough to walk through and store large items, they lack appropriate insulation and space to be liveable.

Sewer lines can be buried anywhere from 18 inches to 8 feet deep, with a common average depth between 18 and 30 inches. The exact depth depends on local factors like climate and soil type. In colder regions, pipes must be buried deeper (below the frost line) to prevent freezing, sometimes as deep as 8 feet. The digging depth can also impact the cost of sewer line replacement. To find the specific depth for your property, you can check the building plans for your system, which should be on file with your city or local sanitation department since permits are required for installation.

Depending on the severity of the freeze and the method used, thawing frozen underground pipes can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours. Applying heat directly to the pipe using heat tape, infrared lamps, or hot water jetting can speed up the process. However, patience and careful monitoring are key to avoiding pipe damage.

Excavation and grading are both generally necessary for designing your foundation, and leveling the ground where your foundation will go. These steps can also prepare the area by removing vegetation and anything else that could interfere with your home’s foundation.

If you don’t have a crawl space but have a partial basement you want to make deeper, you can expect to spend a little less—between $40,000 and $90,000 on average. However, if you’re not adding new finished square footage, you won’t see much in the way of ROI.
