"DT Contracting just completed a 46’ retaining wall in front of our house and I could not possibly be happier with the quality of the work. Dan was easy to work with and professional in all manner. The dedication to detail and quality of work during construction was outstanding. Dan takes pride in his work and customer satisfaction. To put it simply, if you need a retaining wall, concrete work or other related work and you do not talk with Dan at D T Construction – Shame on you."

"Bradley was not only professional & courteous, he was meticulous about his work. He responded to my inquiry for a job I needed done in record time & got me into his schedule much sooner than I had expected. He was also sweet to my little kids, who insisted they watch him use the big excavator machine. I would definitely recommend him for any lawn care issues!"

"We bought our house in 2019 and it was in dire need of landscape design upgrade. We liked Luke the minute we met him. He was extremely thorough in his layout of what he could do for us based on what we wanted - poor man - we had him give us a contract 3 times because we kept adding on to the project. Luke is probably one of the most knowledgeable people we have ever met. He gave us some good ideas on how we should landscape; his estimate/contract was extremely thorough and left no doubt in what he would be doing and what we would be paying for. But it is not just Luke (owner); all his workers were more than great - Martine, Devon, Ivan and Brian. Brian did a fantastic job in the paved walkway - the diligence is beyond anything we have ever seen. Thank you to Luke and all his guys. Thank you so much Luke"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Yes, professional installations include trenching or borehole drilling required for ground loops.

Preparation involves site assessment, clearing debris, grading surfaces, and compacting soil to support stable construction.

Some two-in-one tools and machines do both jobs, and those could be the right solution for smaller residential projects. However, the phrase “use the right tool for the job” definitely applies to digging. For the best results, get two separate tools for your trenching and landscape edging projects or call a pro to take care of everything for you.

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.

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.
