"Marcus was very nice and followed up appropriately -- we review quotes apples to apples and look at value first and price 2nd.. We decided to hire an arborist to complete the work instead. We always get several bids to consider prior to accepting a bid. The arborist provided a better warranty on the trees in addition to the trees being twice as tall, one extra tree, and overall $150 LESS expensive. Value AND price are what beat A+ Landscaping on this particular job, and the arborist was more familiar with our local zoning ordinances. We did not particularly like that there was a separate fee from A+ for "cleanup" as we believe this should be part of anyone's charge for doing the work. That extra fee was $95. I would probably consider hiring A+ for hardscaping work as those quotes seem more reasonable. The price here only covers non-hardscaping."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Hardscaping often requires preparation of the ground in the area where the feature is being installed. This can include digging, compacting, and leveling the soil, ensuring adequate drainage, and removing any existing plants. The extent of preparation needed will depend on the type and size of the hardscaping feature being installed.

It can take several weeks for the ground to settle after removing a tree, and the soil under larger, more mature trees can take months. The deeper the tree has been ground under the soil, the longer it will take to settle. However, this extra depth can help you plant new landscaping sooner because you’ll have more space for fresh soil.

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.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

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.
