"Had a large stump & roots beneath grade.  Animals couldn't stop digging into it, and the sinkholes were a mess.  Pierce gave me an initial quote, but I wanted him to excavate well beyond the stump to make sure (if needed).  The full job, with my extra request, was to run about $1,400.  It was supposed to include grading of the surface with premium topsoil.
They came and did the job, but they only did the stump diameter (about 6 ft).  Pierce said they didn't feel we needed to go further.  Also said they didn't need any topsoil.  Said the area might settle a little as we go forward, and may need to add some soil in the future.  I thought that was a little odd, since that should have been anticipated with the original estimate.  So, I held off on this review to see how it would go.
It's been a few months, and things are going great.  Caught a vole digging out there the day after the job, but they must have realized the difference.  Haven't had an animal hole or sinking spot since.  I still think there might have been a mix up with the crew and the topsoil, but nonetheless, Pierce quickly took that amount off of the job.  He gives a great cash discount and, at the time at least, an Angie's list discount.  The whole thing cost only $500.
All in all, Pierce was very professional and responsive.  He is very quick to get back to you, and very prompt with the service.  He could have very easily done an inflated job at my request, rather he was very quick to give money back to me and say, "you didn't need that".  Had I known I could have corrected the major issue in my back yard for that price, I would have called Pierce a long time ago.  I would definitly use him again."

"First-rate experience from estimate to completion.  Mark, Mark Jr. and their hardscaping guys were everything you'd expect from a professional hardscaping company and more.  They were the only ones to explain exactly what they were going to co in detail.  None of this "just throw the pavers down and run."  They properly excavated everything and took their time to ensure that the job was done correctly.  Despite that, the work was done faster that I expected given that the worked a full Saturday.  I let Mark choose the stone to match my stone house and could not be happier with his selection.  They even did things that I never expected.  His hardscaping guys are true craftsmen and very hard workers.  
This is a company with whom I expect to do considerably more business, and how many times do you say that when dealing with most contractors?  Their landscape design guy is next, and I'm hoping for big things from him as well.
If you're looking for a company to do what they promise at a reasonable cost and in a professional manner, you cannot go wrong with Greenstone Gardens.

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

The cost to repair a crawl space runs between $1,500 and $15,000, depending on the extent of the damage. Major flooding or water repairs can cost up to $10,000 for removal and repairs. If you simply need to clean your crawl space, expect to pay between $2,000 and $6,000 for a major cleanout. Replacing a crawl space beam due to rot or damage can cost between $1,500 and $5,000, while removing and replacing damaged insulation costs between $1,000 and $4,000.

Trenches are typically 12 to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, the required depth depends on the specific project and local ordinances. For example, a French drain may need to be 18 inches deep, while a water pipe might require a depth of 24 inches and a drainage pipe 36 inches. Your city or county may have specific regulations, so it's wise to consult with an excavation professional to determine the correct depth for your project.

Depth is not a qualifying component of evacuation. Any human-made cut, cavity, or depression in the earth’s surface is considered excavation. The hole from excavation can be any size, shape, or depth. Excavation is used to create foundations, reservoirs, drainage ditches, and roads. Long, narrow excavations are called trenches and are often used for underground utilities.

Professional installers often include a deep layer of crushed gravel under permeable pavers to allow more runoff to soak through into the soil below. Many installations will include multiple layers of gravel, with coarser aggregate at the base and finer aggregate that sits on top of that bottom layer. Above the gravel, you’ll often find coarse sand that helps reduce paver shifting over time. Some permeable paver designs include a water collection system set into the gravel layer to route runoff to a safe area for disposal.
