"I hired Ben to recreate a retaining wall on my property. I gave home some guidance on how it should look, provided pictures and examples, however as he started to lay it out I had some modifications and feedback. He took all feedback and used his skills and experience to make it look natural but also function as a retaining wall. Beautiful and functional work at the end of the day and very reasonable pricing."

"We were looking for someone to do a remodel on a poor remodel job in our master bathroom and I got Deepwoods Construction from an online source. Andrew came out to our home and we reviewed what we wanted done and we came back with a prompt and reasonable estimate. He and his partner came out and did an excellent job of correcting the poor workmanship from the previous contractor. The job included removing a pocket door, revising the opening to a cased opening, adding sheet rock, new base and wall texture. I am very pleased with their work, great attitude and timely performance. I would not hesitate to recommend them. My best wishes to them in the future."

"Very good at communication before and during the job. Very hard working and efficient Tim and Steven brought and spread 20 yards of mulch and helped me with yard clean up and hauled all the green recycling away. It was a huge job and they barely took a break the whole time. Would hire them again"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

If you have a broken sprinkler pipe underground, there will be some signs you can easily spot to locate it and take action. These include leaks, water spouts, flooding, consistently damp areas on your lawn, low water pressure, and grass around the sprinkler head that’s taller and darker than anywhere else in the yard. 

If there are no obvious signs of a broken pipe, you can use tools such as water leak mics, leak noise loggers, audio devices that record leaks, and acoustic testing links. 

Broken pipes can lead to uneven watering, plant damage, and higher utility bills. The longer you wait to fix them the more the repair cost may be.

A crawl space can be as little as 42 inches below the grade of your house, but this is not always recommended in flood-prone areas. At a minimum, there must be at least 16 inches of clearance between the ground and the floor joists to access the space in an emergency.

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.

It takes one hour to dig a 10-foot trench by hand. Use a trenching shovel with a sharp tip and a long head. Plan for more time if your soil is heavy or rocky. Consider renting a trencher if you’re digging a long or deep trench or if you have challenging soil or terrain. 

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.
