"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."

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pana Landscaping did an outstanding job! They removed several rose bushes, planted a beautiful weeping cherry tree, and added stone around my front lawn, under my back porch steps, and other areas of my property. The crew arrived early, was professional, courteous, and got right to work. They even improved a few areas we hadn't discussed, which exceeded my expectations. Excellent workmanship and attention to detail. I highly recommend Pana Landscaping!"

"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."

"Manuel was prompt, efficient and completed the project within one week. I appreciated his honesty and insight. My yard was unleveled. It sloped due to the roots from the neighbor's tree. He and his crew created a functional yard that I could enjoy without the need to mow routinely. Manuel leveled the yard, created a path using crushed gravel and a green space using artificial turf which was entirely trimmed with River rocks. Thank you Manuel for your professionalism and creativity."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

A mini excavator can dig between 5 and 11 feet deep, depending on the type and size of the mini excavator. Mini hydraulic excavators are more powerful and can reach deeper into the earth, but electric models have a more limited range. Mini excavators over two tons in size are also more powerful and able to dig as deep as 11 feet.

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even for projects that only involve grading or yard leveling. Permit requirements depend on your local government and the scope of the project, but they are especially common for significant digging or work that could affect utilities or public property. These permits help protect the local topography and prevent drainage issues. An experienced excavation company will typically know whether permits are needed and can often handle the process of pulling and closing them for you. You can also verify permit requirements by contacting your local building department and describing your project.

Dumpsters work best on hard, study, and level surfaces made of asphalt, stone, or concrete. If the surface is uneven or too soft, the dumpster could get stuck or tip over when filled. Keep in mind that you must obtain a dumpster permit to keep it on a city street in many areas.

A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock.

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.
