"I was not sure what I wanted to replace some old pine trees that I had removed. My land was shifting without trees. Brandon felt I needed about 30 tees to secure the land and add privacy. Brandon also removed a large unhealthy bush and created a new landscape look in the front of my house. It was a lot of work and acomplished quickly. Brandon was responsive, respectful and delivered on his promises. I am very satisfied and can't wait to watch my new trees grow. I was very impressed at the way Brandon kept me in the loop. I never had to guess when workers would show up. I had other bids that were similar in price but time frames were for the fall. Other companies were really booked. I am glad I found Hepp Landscaping and got my job done within weeks. Brandon may appear young, but he is knowledgable and professional. I can be a picky customer... but can honestly say I am happy I chose this company for my yard."

"We hired Zingrone Landscaping to remove very old, large bushes from our front yard and plant new shrubs and trees. From start to finish, they far exceeded our expectations, and we cannot recommend them highly enough! Joe and the crew were professional, patient, kind, and incredibly accommodating. They moved plants around multiple times until we found the perfect layout and never once made us feel like our questions or requests were an inconvenience. They genuinely cared about doing the job right and making sure we were happy with the result. Throughout the entire process, Joe was always responsive to our messages. When we reached out after the project was complete with concerns about watering, Joe stopped by the house to answer our questions and make sure we felt confident caring for our new plants. We've worked with a lot of contractors over the past two years, and there are very few we'd call back for future work. Zingrone Landscaping is absolutely one of them!"

"Pete quickly provided a quote and insurance certificate. They showed up when he said they would and did a great job. They demolished some old buildings we had and regraded the ground. We were very satisfied and will use them again when needed."

"Absolutely perfect and beautiful job replacing our old railroad retaining wall with Omnistone. After completing the wall, they did landscaping and that was also prefect, using many of Randy's ideas and suggestions. I have used many landscaping companies over the years and this was far and away the best! Five stars is not enough."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

Hard soil could be a sign of overly dry dirt, either from poor drainage or drought. It's important to test the nutrient levels, density, and drainage capacity of your soil to see if it's absorbing water properly. Begin by adding a light layer of water and observing how long the soil retains moisture. If you experience a good deal of runoff, you may need to aerate your lawn, apply a wetting agent, or hire a professional for a closer look.

Your contractor should handle dust control during the project. It's best to speak with your contractor beforehand to check if they plan to cover your furniture, protect your vents, or use fans to redirect dust. Eliminating drywall dust is a particularly large challenge during construction, so always take this into account during your planning phase.

Water lines are buried at various depths, depending on the type of line. For example, most sprinkler lines are buried between four and 12 inches underground. On the other hand, water mains usually sit between one and 3 feet below ground. However, they can go even deeper in cold climates to prevent freezing.

A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock.
