"Need to solve a water problem in my garage due to a grading problem. After talking in over with Mr Wagner, we regrade, installed a concrete walkway with drainage and crushed stone to control the flow and direction of any future water events. Just had a storm come through and it seems to have solved the problem. Mr Wagner is a good man with knowledge and experience, and I would gladly hire him for some future projects I am planning."

"Anthony was very professional and clear on what was going to take place. Anthony and his crew arrived on schedule and completed the replacement of the broken sewer main in one day. No mess was left, grounds were smoothed out and ready for new lawn! Anthony's wife is very nice to talk to and takes care of any communication needed. My husband and I would highly recommend this company."

"This was the best landscape design experience I could have ever imagined. They were prompt, professional, and committed. Provided a creative draft of the project, took time to consider my thoughts and ideas, they were very knowledgeable of the plants and trees in the area and what would be the best for my project and property. They had professional assistance to preform the work. The materials they used were quality and the finish project came out just like I expected. Actually even better."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

Digging a bush up by the roots is the most natural DIY method for removing a bush stump. Start by identifying the shrub type and revealing its roots. Cut the shrub to its base and loosen the soil, ensuring no utility lines are nearby. Optionally, treat the base with herbicide, then dig around the roots and cut a circle around the shrub using various tools. Dig a trench, cut the base of the root ball, and finally fill the hole to prevent regrowth. This thorough process ensures complete removal without damaging surrounding areas.

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.

A perc test can take anywhere from one to eight hours to complete. The total time depends on factors like the amount of excavation required, the depth and width of the holes, and whether multiple test holes are needed. For a single hole, the process of filling it with water and monitoring the drainage rate usually takes less than an hour. Professionals can often complete the entire test in a single day. While it's possible to get results the same day, some companies may take a few days to provide the official report.

While general contractors sometimes handle demolition, you can also look specifically for local demolition contractors. Demolition experts need to understand structural integrity, the equipment needed for safe demolition, and the permits required for demolition.
