"We agreed on planting 10 Juniper trees. From day 1, they planted them not straight on the line and the trees didnâ  t look healthy. My husband inquired about that, they said give them time and they will look better. And since then, we had to complain about the trees turning brown and not looking healthy. They kept promising thatâ  s a shock when you first plant them and they will become green with the time. Sometimes they said cut the brown branches and we did, sometimes they said clean the huge amount of weeds that was around them( idk what kind of dirt they put growing too much weeds?), and we did. Theu were asking about the watering instructions and we followed what they told us to do. Now we lost at least 4 trees that I canâ  t look at anymore , they became totally brown. . They (red rose landscaping)stopped answering us and they always try to connect me with the wrong department instead of the owner. I had to put claim through the attorney general office. They are bunch of liars."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

It is a common belief that excavation is easier or less costly when done in the summer or when the ground is not frozen. Seasons have little effect on when excavation can occur; however, inclement weather can prolong the duration of the job and potentially increase costs. For this reason, those in rainy climates may opt for seasons with milder weather.

Digging a bush up by the roots is the most natural DIY method for removing a bush stump. Start by identifying the shrub type and revealing its roots. Cut the shrub to its base and loosen the soil, ensuring no utility lines are nearby. Optionally, treat the base with herbicide, then dig around the roots and cut a circle around the shrub using various tools. Dig a trench, cut the base of the root ball, and finally fill the hole to prevent regrowth. This thorough process ensures complete removal without damaging surrounding areas.

Trenches are typically 12 inches to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, your city or county may have specific ordinances that clarify the dimensions needed for the project. For instance, a water pipe may need to be 24 inches deep, but a drainage pipe may need to be 36 inches deep.

Excavation is priced in cubic yards, so you’ll need to find the volume of the area in order to calculate costs. Multiply the length, width, and proposed depth of your excavation site, then convert it into yards to get the volume. Multiply this figure by the price per cubic yard.

Most homeowners can measure by hand to get a rough estimate, even if it’s tedious. You may want to pull out a tape measure or use a string to help mark the area.

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.
