"Can’t say enough about the care and efficiency with which AC Excavation attacked this project. From the initial site visit to preparing a fair and reasonable estimate, and then clearing the underbrush/overgrowth that overwhelmed whatever desirable perennials we wished to keep around, the crew worked skillfully and diligently on a Sunday morning to give us the blank slate we wanted for a garden bed that was unsightly and downright unpleasant. The regrading of the terrain should also help direct rainwater away from the house. Very pleased with the process and the outcome!"

"I highly recommend Fabiano's Construction. Our experience with him was fantastic from beginning to end. The project was to restore and replace the exterior window frames of our 1830 Trinity. The previous owners had installed new windows on the inside but left the old ones outside for beauty. Many of these old windows were completely rotten at the bottom, barely holding the small panes of glass together. We got three estimates. One builder wanted to replace the old windows with a second set of new ones. Another was going to patch them up with wood filler. Fabiano was the only one who was willing to actually restore them, using green wood for the parts that were beyond salvaging. It was precision carpentry work requiring problem-solving ingenuity. The new frames and sills are green wood plus Azek (PVC), so they should last forever. Although more major restoration was necessary than foreseen, Fabiano and his crew—his son Will and assistant Simon—still finished the job in the predicted time. They were careful, focused, hard-working, and also really nice, honest people. It was a pleasure to meet them, and the result is a stunning improvement to our house both inside and out. Fabiano is responsive and friendly, an expert who takes pride in his work. Incredibly, his price was the lowest the three. We plan to hire him for another project."

"I was very pleased with the way Mini Backhoe Services handled my project. Shane was great at explaining how to re-slope (regrade) my side yard where there was standing water during medium to heavy rains. The slope was steep. Several options were recommended from bringing in loads of dirt (soil) to level out the slope. Bringing in dirt was a problem since it was uncertain as to just how much dirt would be needed. The first visit was exploratory allowing Shane to see what the project entailed. Ultimately, we decided to do the project in two steps, which I was very comfortable with. The first step was to use the existing dirt already on the slope to regrade the steep hill, wait for rain to see the effect, that would let us know if next steps were needed and how much added soil was needed. I was very satisfied with the plan. The very next week, Brandon came in with the Bobcat and re positioned the hill into a smooth grade that made such a difference in the appearance. Since that time, we had a light rain. No water puddles. But I will have them return to fill in with additional soil, once I have some additional landscaping work completed. All-in-all, I am very pleased with the outcome. Brandon and Shane have a professional style that makes a customer feel comfortable. I made the right choice using Mini-Backhoe Services, and I highly recommend the company."

"I consulted Angi for local landscapers and requested calls from two local companies. Pana Landscaping replied within minutes, and in two hours, Dan the owner came to our home to survey our projects and provide an estimate. We agreed and in less than 48 hours Dan's team of two landscapers arrived to do the work we proposed: remove the stone flower bed that was growing weeds and resod several areas of our lawn that were overfertilized by the last company working on our property. In short, the team of workers was efficient, professional, and did great work all in one day. Dan came at the beginning and completing of the projects to make sure all was running smoothly. Highly professional company and team. They all did terrific work that we are happy with, all at a reasonable price and speedy timeframe. Thank you, Dan and company, and we will be contacting you for future projects."

"We hired FJP Services for both landscaping and do replace a retaining wall between 2 properties. So far, the company has done the retaining wall and they did a great job. The professional nature of the crew was tremendous. The craftmanship of the workers was also gratifying. If the other services we have hired FJP services are at the same level as the work on the retaining wall, we shall be very pleased."

"Outstanding work by Kevin in a backyard tear out and redo of landscaping with new plantings, restoring and rebuilding pavers and repairing a French drain. Rebuilt our front porch as well. Total confidence in his choice of plantings and his work quality. One of the hardest working professionals I have met, always polite and focused on customer service. Punctuality, attention to detail and professionalism sets his work above others. Pricing is excellent."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Almost any kind of home can have a wine cellar or cabinet installed. You’ll need an area where a concrete floor can be put in, along with the necessary insulation, climate control, and ventilation systems. If you think of yourself as an aspiring sommelier, an underground wine cellar may be ideal, but it will cost significantly more. 

What you choose to install really depends on your budget and how many bottles you’re looking to store.

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.

There are many ways to cut through roots when digging, especially if your trencher doesn’t seem to be removing the roots. First, use a shovel to expose the roots. Then, use gardening shears to clear out smaller roots or a reciprocating saw to remove larger plant roots. If you plan on keeping the plant, avoid cutting any roots over 2 inches thick.

No, a ditch isn’t a trench. A ditch is an open, relatively shallow channel that’s carved out of the ground and used for drainage purposes. In contrast, a trench is a deeper excavation that’s entirely underground. Trenches have many uses, including gas lines, sewage systems, and electrical wiring. Unlike trenches, ditches don’t get filled back in with dirt after they’re dug.

Yes, you can technically make a crawl space liveable, but the only way to do so is by converting it into a basement. While some crawl spaces are big enough to walk through and store large items, they lack appropriate insulation and space to be liveable.
