"Excellent. Do not hesitate hiring this crew. They are hardworking professionals. They know plants too. I have a two-acre piece of property with at least 40 various sized gardens. They did all the weeding, mulching and edging. Pruning and removing all the debris. Plus many other chores…all in 3 days. Bobby made suggestions and safety recommendations that were greatly appreciated. I’m so impressed with this company. They will maintain the yard every month, keeping it looking beautiful. Don’t think twice about hiring them. Just do it!"

"Jon and his team was forthcoming throughout the process; taking the time to lay out the terms of the contract including permitting, and site demolition/cleanup and what was covered in the cost which was reasonable. The garage project itself took just over a day to , and was painstakingly demolished without a machine to insure that the next door neighbors or my tenants would remained unaffected throughout the process e.g cleanup. Jon's team was diligent and thorough in this regard;and as a group, they were the kind of stand up guys you would trust at your place. I would highly recommend Billias Restoration for your next project!"

"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."

"I had my sewer hooked up from the septic to the city sewer. I got quotes from 5 different contractors and Anthony gave my the best quote by far. His team came to my house and in less than a day the job was done. I was very pleased with the job they did and would highly recommend them to anyone."

"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

Septic drain lines (or leach lines) are typically buried between 18 and 36 inches underground, and should be at least 6 inches below the surface. These pipes are perforated and surrounded by filtering materials like sand or gravel. Burying the lines at this depth helps minimize odors and allows bacteria and other biological processes in the soil to effectively treat the wastewater. Burying lines too close to the surface can cause issues unless the soil is very compact and stable.

Directional drilling is complex and requires training to use the advanced machinery. It can be challenging to monitor the position of the drill since there’s no direct line of sight. Directional drilling can also be more expensive with a cost of $10 to $30 per linear foot compared to $5 to $12 per linear foot for trenching. 

Because decomposed granite is a durable material, a crushed rock or gravel base is optional as long as the DG is properly installed and compacted. However, installing a base is a good idea because it will ensure proper drainage and stability and act as a weed suppressant (although you may still occasionally have to pull weeds). Installing an adequate base can also increase the durability of driveways and walkways. If you forego the paver base or gravel underneath, line the area with landscaping fabric to avoid weeds.

Most residential basements are 8 to 10 feet deep. You can dig deeper depending on building codes, but it does become more difficult. You’ll likely need to install stronger foundation walls and additional supports to handle the increased load. Depending on the water table, you may also need a water management system. Clay soil can support a deeper foundation than sandy soil. A structural engineer will be able to tell you the maximum, feasible depth.

Trenches are typically 12 to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, the required depth depends on the specific project and local ordinances. For example, a French drain may need to be 18 inches deep, while a water pipe might require a depth of 24 inches and a drainage pipe 36 inches. Your city or county may have specific regulations, so it's wise to consult with an excavation professional to determine the correct depth for your project.
