"Two young men came to my property, and I walked around and showed them what I wanted done. I was given a quote to have four flower beds weeded and mulched and two medium size bushed trimmed. When they came to do the work, I again walked around and showed them what I needed done. They started the work and about an hour and half into it, knocked on my door and said they would not be completing the rest of the job. They could come back another time and quoted an additional price of $250. When I questioned them later about this, they claimed that the price was not for all the areas I showed them. They also told me that some of the price was for gasoline to travel to the job. No mention was made on the quote about fuel charges. If the job was out of their area and required additional charges, they did not mention it when they quoted the price. For the two flower beds and two bushed they trimmed, they did an adequate job. I would not use them again. I was not happy with my experience."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

It takes one hour to dig a 10-foot trench by hand. Use a trenching shovel with a sharp tip and a long head. Plan for more time if your soil is heavy or rocky. Consider renting a trencher if you’re digging a long or deep trench or if you have challenging soil or terrain. 

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.

Hard soil could be a sign of overly dry dirt, either from poor drainage or drought. It's important to test the nutrient levels, density, and drainage capacity of your soil to see if it's absorbing water properly. Begin by adding a light layer of water and observing how long the soil retains moisture. If you experience a good deal of runoff, you may need to aerate your lawn, apply a wetting agent, or hire a professional for a closer look.

To determine whether your homeowners' insurance will cover crawl space repair, consider the cause of the issue. Repair may be covered if the problems were caused by an event that the insurance covers, such as vandalism or a windstorm. However, companies won't cover the repair if the issues are caused by neglect or wear and tear.

Excavation and grading are both generally necessary for designing your foundation, and leveling the ground where your foundation will go. These steps can also prepare the area by removing vegetation and anything else that could interfere with your home’s foundation.
