"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!"

"Finding a reliable and trustworthy landscaping company is difficult. Shane and his crew fulfilled my quest. They undertook a project to cleanup a yard and shrub beds after nearly two years of neglect. Other landscaping companies base their quotes on requested photos. Shane took the time to personally walk the property with me and take notes on details. Additionally, he followed up with progress inspections, as the work progressed. His crew was polite, professional and hard working. I was totally satisfied with their performance on a very challenging project."

"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."

"Highly recommend! They were quick, fairly priced, Mark is super knowledgeable and genuine. His son Samuel ran downspouts underground and did some excavation to fix some grading in our backyard where there wasn't good drainage. Our new construction home is one step closer to looking finished! We want them to come back and do our final grading!"

"This company was excellent (I was going to take one star off because they arrived late, but they did such a fansastic job that I couldn't!). they worked very hard, the workers were exceptionally nice, and they were fast and efficient, and actually did more work then required (they even seeded the bare areas of our lawn!). I would not hesitate to hire this company again - in fact, we plan to do so on a regular basis. You can't beat their service for the money, so make sure you include them as an option if you are looking for any type of yard/lawn work."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

No, you typically cannot use metal detectors to find your sewer line. Most sewer lines are made of non-metallic materials such as PVC, clay, or cast iron, which are not detectable by standard metal detectors. Metal detectors are designed to locate metallic objects, so they won't be effective for identifying the path of a non-metallic sewer line. To locate your sewer line accurately, it's best to use other methods.

Generally, a trenchless sewer line is worth the cost. If your old system needs replacement, trenchless sewer repair or replacement can save you thousands on excavation costs. Every homeowner’s situation is different, but this method is definitely worth it in a lot of cases.

Trenching and boring are two distinct methods for installing underground utilities. Trenching involves digging a channel using equipment like an excavator, trencher, backhoe, or shovel. While it is a simpler process, it causes significant disruption to the surface, landscaping, and surrounding ecosystems.

Boring, also known as directional boring, is a less invasive alternative that uses a drill to create a tunnel for utility lines without disturbing the surface. This method is more precise and is ideal for installations that need to go underneath buildings, roads, or bodies of water. Although boring is less disruptive, it is generally more expensive than trenching.

Trenchers can dig holes as narrow as 4 inches or as wide as 4 feet. Check the specifications of the trencher you rent or buy to determine how wide it will cut into the landscape. Better yet, let the excavation company know how wide you’d like the trench to be, and they can help you choose the right trencher for the job (or do it for you).

The average cost of excavation is approximately $3,200, with typical projects ranging from $500 to $15,000. Depending on the contractor, you may be charged between $50 and $200 per cubic yard or an hourly rate of $40 to $180 for an excavation specialist. The total cost is influenced by several factors, including the project size, the amount of soil to be removed, and the soil's condition. Hard soil, tree roots, or excessive rocks and clay can increase the price, potentially adding $200 to $1,200 to the final bill. Other factors that can drive up costs include the presence of nearby structures that complicate the work or tight spaces that require manual excavation instead of heavy machinery.
