"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!"

"Gary was great from the start answered the phone when I called . Talked to me about what I needed and came and did a walkthrough the next day. Got me a estimate and once I agreed he got all the work done fast so the house was back up and running with no gas smell."

"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."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Yes, trenchers can go through gravel. Gravel is made up of smaller, softer rocks that certain trenchers are able to cut through. Just be sure to use a rock wheel trencher or chain trencher, both of which are made to cut through rocky landscapes and gravel pathways without dulling the teeth or chain.

Yes, you can excavate in the winter, but it might make the job harder. Frozen ground is harder to dig, and snow or ice can make the work site more hazardous. A contractor may need special equipment and techniques, such as ground-thawing methods, to break through frozen soil. Although winter excavation is possible, it may take longer and be more costly than excavating during warmer months.

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.

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.

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.
