"G & G landscaping did an amazing job! Giacomo worked with us to refine the job and keep it within our budget. It turned out better than we could have anticipated. We needed to contain a hill that was eroding. Instead of a retaining wall, he had the idea to use very large boulders that matched the boulders around our pond. The end result looks like it was installed when the pond was installed. He and his crew worked nonstop until it was finished. They took care not to damage the yard with their heavy equipment and took the time to consult with me a few times during their work. I highly recommend them for hardscaping. Honest, dependable, punctual, and respectful of the property"

"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!"

"Devon and his crew were professional, courteous and dedicated to providing the best quality of work. They showed up when promised and their work on spring clean up, mulching, trimming shrubs, edging, and tree removal left the property looking like a magazine photo for high end landscaping. We highly recommend Devon and his crew and will use them for all our future projects."

"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."

"Excellent work. Sadly, none of the crew were fluent in English. There were 5 guys, very competent, but none could address questions or comments. At least one English fluent person would be helpful. Overall, a terrific, QUICK job!! Thanks."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Directional drilling is complex and requires training to use the advanced machinery. It can be challenging to monitor the position of the drill since there’s no direct line of sight. Directional drilling can also be more expensive with a cost of $10 to $30 per linear foot compared to $5 to $12 per linear foot for trenching. 

There are several different factors that influence how long it takes to excavate. For a foundation, it could take anywhere from three days to three weeks. It can take even longer if you face weather-related delays or an inaccessible site that’s riddled with boulders and rough terrain. It may also take longer if you have clay soil, which is more difficult to dig.

Depth is not a qualifying component of evacuation. Any human-made cut, cavity, or depression in the earth’s surface is considered excavation. The hole from excavation can be any size, shape, or depth. Excavation is used to create foundations, reservoirs, drainage ditches, and roads. Long, narrow excavations are called trenches and are often used for underground utilities.

No, fire blight does not survive free in the soil but instead is carried through insects, animals, rain, or wind during the spring. Keep in mind that it can also spread on tools, which is why you should always disinfect them in between cuts.

How deep your septic system needs to be into the ground depends on several factors. In extremely cold environments, the tank needs to rest below the maximum frost line, which can be up to six or eight feet deep. The standard burying depth for most systems is between a few inches and four feet below ground level. Depth can also depend on the slope of the landscaping and other property variables.
