"Mr..Dapper has done a lot of work for us. He remodeled our bathroom to accommodate my husband who suffered from numerous strokes, making it accessible with the walker or wheelchair. He’s also painted the entire inside of my house. He also we built my back deck with a metal roof. Also chuck down several large trees out of my front yard and also laid all new flooring throughout the house. Bobbie is a very respectable polite gentleman honest as a day is long has done wonderful work within my home and I highly recommend them to everybody. The job is done in a timely manner.. he takes pride in his work, and if there’s a problem or we’re not satisfied with something which has never been a issue with me, he’s right there to make sure he fixes whatever the issue is you’re not satisfied he will make sure you’re satisfied I recommend to all my friends and family. You won’t find any more polite, hard-working, trustable, businessman, other than. Dad‘s home improvement and excavation"

"They were quick and they were prompt while being able to do a good job. The price wasn't too much, i liked them so much i in fact hired them again and will probably do so again. I felt that they were very knowledgeable and felt confident about my choice. They handle the project in a very professional manner and would reccomend them to everyone. And trust me, if i wasnt happy with the work they provided, i would be writing the opposite type of review! Thank you so much Sequoia Studios!"

"This is the 2nd time I have used Safe Electric and both times I have used them have been great experiences. I had 3 new fixtures installed plus a new circuit run to be used for a new freezer in our finished basement. Jon & Eric were the two electricians that were sent to my home. They worked efficiently and quickly, but did outstanding work. Even though our basement had a finished ceiling, they were able to run a wire through with minimal disruption to the finished ceiling. I had concerns about the alignment of the lights on the fixture (this was a manufacturing defect and nothing to do with their installation) and they obliged me by improving the light alignment. They also cleaned up after they were completed and disposed of the old light fixtures and packaging materials for the new fixtures. Their work was excellent. The only negative aspect was the price which seemed very high to me. The cost for installation of the 3 light fixtures was $462 and the new circuit was $903."

"Kevin did exactly what was quoted. He and his crew were very efficient! Kevin was very friendly and professional. It would have taken me for forever to do what he and his crew did in half a day. I had a small tree cut down, overgrown flower bed and dead ivy along our patio that needed cleaned up. I would highly recommend!"

"We recently hired Classic Landscapes, LLC to repair our front walkway. Anthony, the owner, came out for our consultation and was great to chat with and clearly outlined what his team would do when it came time for the project. We were able to use our existing pavers, which was great. The team came out and pulled up the pavers, washed them clean and re-installed them over the course of 2 days. The team was very polite, friendly and efficient. We'll certainly be using Classic Landscape, LLC for future landscaping needs!"

"Top notch land and lot clearing did a great job clearing my lots. They were very prompt in reaching out when I did an online inquiry. They had someone out to do an estimate the next day. I was able to book the job and they had equipment out with in the next two days to do the job. They were very reasonable with pricing that I was actually surprised. The two gentlemen that came out and did the work were very professional and seemed very experienced. I would recommend them to anyone."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Slab foundations are more affordable than crawl spaces because they require minimal excavation, as the slab sits directly on the ground or on footers that only sink a few feet into the ground. Crawl spaces require excavation of the entire footprint of the home to several feet below the surface. Not only does that mean higher labor costs, but more materials are necessary for the concrete foundation walls.

There are many ways to cut through roots when digging, especially if your trencher doesn’t seem to be removing the roots. First, use a shovel to expose the roots. Then, use gardening shears to clear out smaller roots or a reciprocating saw to remove larger plant roots. If you plan on keeping the plant, avoid cutting any roots over 2 inches thick.

A joint utility trench, or joint trench, is a long, buried ditch on a property that contains two or more utility lines rather than running the lines in multiple trenches. Some utilities, like gas and electric or electric and communication lines, are better suited to joint trenching, while others, like water and sewer, are not allowed to be in the same trench.

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.

Septic drain lines (or leach lines) are typically buried between 18 and 36 inches underground, and should be at least 6 inches below the surface. These pipes are perforated and surrounded by filtering materials like sand or gravel. Burying the lines at this depth helps minimize odors and allows bacteria and other biological processes in the soil to effectively treat the wastewater. Burying lines too close to the surface can cause issues unless the soil is very compact and stable.
