"Excellent customer service, came at all scheduled appointments. Impeccable work ethic and knowledge. John, Mike and Lou are all men of integrity. As contractors you rarely see this today in this industry. Installed a paver walkway and redesigned my entire yard with fresh mulch, perennials and shrubs. I would have appreciated an option to upload photos for you all to see. Will never use another company again for this type of work other than JRM. Do not hesitate to contact them for help. I thank you all very much!! Tony"

"Recommended by Home Advisor, Cary was the one and only contractor who responded, and that was in a matter of days. He came when he said he would, looked at my front yard, which had been mangled by another person who shall remain nameless, and promised he could re-grade and re-seed my lawn, which at that time was full of weeds. He came the NEXT DAY, with Ryan and his beautiful dog, Bentley, took out the weeds, graded the lawn with fresh loam, then re-seeded. He and Ryan also put in a great new concrete walkway! All I need to do now is water every day and wait for my grass to grow! It's beautiful already, considering what it was. Thank you, Cary, you kept your word, did a phenomenal job at a reasonable price, and cleaned up well, too! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Digging out a basement takes anywhere from a few days to a few months. Most projects take at least two to five weeks, but it could take several months if you encounter obstacles. This project takes longer if you need to brace or raise your home before the excavation. Digging out a basement in new construction can take as little as three days.

Consultation with the local government helps identify necessary permits, avoid project delays or legal issues, and protect project integrity.

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.

If you have a broken sprinkler pipe underground, there will be some signs you can easily spot to locate it and take action. These include leaks, water spouts, flooding, consistently damp areas on your lawn, low water pressure, and grass around the sprinkler head that’s taller and darker than anywhere else in the yard. 

If there are no obvious signs of a broken pipe, you can use tools such as water leak mics, leak noise loggers, audio devices that record leaks, and acoustic testing links. 

Broken pipes can lead to uneven watering, plant damage, and higher utility bills. The longer you wait to fix them the more the repair cost may be.

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.
