"I was impressed with Jeff, the owner, with his detailed plans and he’s creating a beautiful yard we’re enjoying completely. His work is precise and he enjoys what he’s doing and that says a lot to me. His prices are fair and it’s apparent that he wants my family satisfied with what’s done. His knowledge only added to our ideas. I wouldn’t have any other landscaping company work at my house.. This June he’ll work on completing gardens and much more, while an artist was painting a landscape of flowers on panels of our fence. I’ll be back to brag and show pictures over the summer."

"Joe showed up when this was in the planning phase. This was to regrade the side of the house which caused flooding in the basement He guided the project planning items with his suggestions as well as accommodating me for the things that I wanted. He visited a second time when I was ready to make the final decision to hire him. The crew was polite and efficient. I would absolutely recommend him for the kind of work I had done."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

Most residential basements are 8 to 10 feet deep. You can dig deeper depending on building codes, but it does become more difficult. You’ll likely need to install stronger foundation walls and additional supports to handle the increased load. Depending on the water table, you may also need a water management system. Clay soil can support a deeper foundation than sandy soil. A structural engineer will be able to tell you the maximum, feasible depth.

Drilled wells have a pipe sticking up that’s covered in a plastic or metal casing. On the other hand, a dug well will look like a big hole in the ground and is more similar to what you’d see in a fantasy or Western movie. If you want to be sure, contact the city for documentation on your property’s construction and excavation history. 

Yes. A metal detector is one of the quickest and easiest ways to find your septic tank. However, metal detectors can be too expensive (costing upward of $300 in some cases), and not everyone has a metal detector just lying around. If that’s the case for you, you can also take a long metal rod and poke it into the ground at regular intervals until you hit something—likely your septic tank lid.

While you can save some money by digging your own pool, you may end up paying more in construction equipment rental fees in the long run. You could, however, focus your DIY energies on lowering the cost of leveling your lawn for your pool or filling in surrounding landscaping after construction.
