"C2G was excellent during the entire process. they had a quote to my in less than 24 hours and promptly answered my questions when I called them. Once I selected them they were able to schedule the job just a few days out and I could not have been more satisfied with the outcome. The two workers who did the job were knowledgeable and respectful. In over 20 years of home ownership I would have to say this was the best experience I ever had with a home contractor."

"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."

"Couldn?t speak higher about the work done! They showed up exactly when they said they would. They removed 5 trees from my property, one of which was massive and very close to my house. There was a small gap in between my fence line they needed to fell the tree and they nailed it like it was nothing. I appreciated that they cleaned up all the fallen tree sights after and they cut up and stacked all the wood on my property since I?m planning on using it for the winter. 5 trees, 2 of which were tricky to drop, and they had it all done in about 3 hours?? VERY impressive! If I ever need more tree work done, this is the only company I?m calling"

"Austin Powell, the owner of Alps Tree Care, was exceptionally responsive and professional throughout the course of the project, being the removal of 10 mature, (partially to fully) diseased ash trees that we situated within striking distance of my house. Austin visited my property the morning after I called him to provide a quote. His price was at the lower end of multiple bids that I had received from a few of his local competitors. I accepted his bid because he patiently explained, with the confidence of an experienced arborist, how he was going to remove the trees without accidentally crushing my house...which was a nightmare scenario which was easily imagined if you viewed the trees that I needed removed. On the first day of the tree removal, Austin and his team, which included his fit as fiddle mother, worked with military precision to simultaneously fell seven of the trees, wood chip the branches that were not going to be cut up for firewood, while cleaning up the debris that accumulated around the house. The downed trees were then chain sawed into logs that were sized in length for firewood. The second day the rest of the trees were taken down and my property was cleaned up in spectacular fashion. On the third day Austin showed up with a team of modern day Paul Bunyans, sharpened axes in hand (and a gas-powered log splitter as backup), who proceeded to split the logs into 4-5 cords of firewood. It was an amazing feat of strength and skill...and great spectator sport. They situated the green wood into two piles, with easy access to my two woodsheds. I will move the firewood to the woodsheds after a few months of outdoor curing. All that said, I would not hesitate to recommended Alps Tree Care."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

Errors in site preparation can lead to structural failures or appear costly midway. Professionals ensure detailed, reliable home base development layouts.

Almost any kind of home can have a wine cellar or cabinet installed. You’ll need an area where a concrete floor can be put in, along with the necessary insulation, climate control, and ventilation systems. If you think of yourself as an aspiring sommelier, an underground wine cellar may be ideal, but it will cost significantly more. 

What you choose to install really depends on your budget and how many bottles you’re looking to store.

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.

A walk-behind trencher can cut through roots as long as they’re not too thick, making a project much easier than digging with a shovel and other hand tools. Assess your terrain and the number of trees in the surrounding area to determine if a walk-behind trencher will ease the job. Digging a trench by hand is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive.
