"I don’t normally post reviews but this one I HAVE TO! The sad part is before this encounter I referred 3 different people who needed flooring or painting to him & immediately had to reach out to them & warn them of this final interaction. First off he broke multiple items in my home, never replaced the outlets they removed to paint, & left areas unpainted or needing touch ups which I did myself & I had an item go missing which I was willing to let go of (but now after the threat made I'm not sure if my items were broken, missing or simply stolen)……in addition he had no real schedule, they showed up whatever day/time they wanted, if they showed up at all! Then things took a turn for the worse when I asked him to come back and fix my railings that were in great condition when I purchased the home 12-21-23 & it PASSED inspection (because it would be a safety hazard it would not have passed inspection if they were not in good & stable condition) that his guys took out while doing the flooring. Mind you, I expressed to him the reason I am requesting that he comes back and fix it is because I had a child bump into it and almost fall through the railing on the second floor down the steps. When I text to ask if he can come back to fix it, first I was told they were already like that, then he said they were falling out as they walked up the steps, THEN I was called a b**** & he said “I’d be lucky if he doesn’t come back to rob me after all the work he did for me (imagine how uneasy that would make any female knowing this group of grown men had access to my home for over a month!) then he said that I wouldn’t even be able to prove he did any work for me since I paid him cash & we didn’t have a contract”. All the while I have direct messages including discussions of payment, he text me pictures & vice versa, & he posted the job on his FB! When I say I was FUMING!!! The lack of professionalism, lack of accountability and to make threats?! Thank God for pictures, text messages, FB & witnesses! I waited to post this in hopes that once I calmed down from my initial reaction I’d have a different perspective on how to approach this. The saddest part is that this could have VERY easily & respectfully been resolved ??‍♀️. Unless you have the time/ability to micromanage any & every thing he does, DO NOT HIRE!!!! He "might come back & rob you"! (Disgusting to say even out of anger!) Take a look at the before & after below. P.S Also the same closet he posted on his page had to be redone by a different contractor because he didnt actually screw anything onto the studs but instead used anchors & made pointless holes in my wall."

High Cause Construction is a company that is based off of all excavation an grading needs for your residential home . Serving expertise in French drains , Gutter run offs systems , Soil an fill spreading , Driveway Spreading , Retaining walls , Paver Installs , Stone, Fill Dirt an soil delivery along with other High Cause Construction needs.

"Sean was very responsive and professional all along from the first time I called. He waited patiently while I vetted other companies and was ready with the culvert when the other companies weren't. I didn't expect him to be able to get to me so soon due to a big job he was on ahead of me but he came and got it done quickly and neatly. It turned out that the old culvert had been crushed with blacktop pieces so they had to leave and bring in a claw truck to get it out but they got it done. Very nice people that I would definitely hire again."

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

Topsoil costs from $12 to $55 per cubic yard, depending on the type you choose. For example, screened black dirt will cost about $15 per cubic yard. Loam (soil composed of sand, silt, and clay) costs about $17 per cubic yard. Standard screened topsoil costs about $20 per cubic yard. The type of topsoil you need depends on your landscaping plans.

If your mulch delivery company or landscaper installs mulch around multiple spots in your yard (especially if they are more complex areas), feel free to tip up to $15 a person. However, there's no need to tip for a standard mulch drop done in your driveway or on a tarp.

Topsoil should go down first. If the topsoil is next to your house, make sure the grade slopes away from the house to keep water from pooling against your foundation and possibly leaking into your basement or crawl space. Don’t cover your decorative landscape mulch with topsoil as that defeats the purpose of laying down the mulch. If you’re trying to create a certain soil composition to improve plant growth, you’ll likely want compost mixed into the topsoil instead of mulch. Over time, any decorative wood mulch will simply decompose under the topsoil.

The best way to landscape your front yard on a budget is to invest in hiring a professional for hardscaping—things like upgrading walkways, redoing driveways, and installing partitions around garden beds. You can often do the softscaping yourself—think laying down mulch, caring for your lawn, removing weeds, and planting flowers and shrubs. It’s also almost always worthwhile to pay a professional for routine yard maintenance, as this dramatically improves curb appeal and delivers above 100% ROI in most cases.

If you’re mulching in the fall, aim to lay down the material right after the first frost, which will vary by climate. Late October and early November are good time ranges to aim for. Try to lay down your mulch after a light rainfall to lock in moisture for root growth through the winter.
