"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

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.

Most residential basements are 8 to 10 feet deep. You can dig deeper depending on building codes, but it does become more difficult. You’ll likely need to install stronger foundation walls and additional supports to handle the increased load. Depending on the water table, you may also need a water management system. Clay soil can support a deeper foundation than sandy soil. A structural engineer will be able to tell you the maximum, feasible depth.

After you successfully remove your boulder, you have a few options for what to do to get rid of it. You can rent a dumpster if your yard has many boulders or if you’re planning a larger project. You can even save the boulder and reuse it elsewhere on your property to save on landscaping costs. A few ideas include using the boulder as a natural, abstract statue, breaking it into smaller pieces to line your garden bed, or offering it to a landscaping company that could reuse it for another project.

Drilled wells have a pipe sticking up that’s covered in a plastic or metal casing. On the other hand, a dug well will look like a big hole in the ground and is more similar to what you’d see in a fantasy or Western movie. If you want to be sure, contact the city for documentation on your property’s construction and excavation history. 

To drill a shallow well, you may be able to use a drive well point. This is a tapered point that is driven into the ground. A drill bit at the end of PVC pipe may be another option to consider. A lot of the cost depends on what tools are available near you.
