"His work was done in a timely manner and the yard looked good once it was completed. However, he gave me a quote based on two inches of mulch to help keep weeds from returning. I also agreed to have him spray an organic weed killer in the stone areas to prevent weeds from coming up. While walking in the garden I noticed there were bare spots in the garden where there should have been mulch and where there was mulch it was not two inches. There were also weeds coming up, which he did explain he might have to come back to do a second application at cost. When I called him about the mulch, he explained that he underestimated the amount of mulch needed. But instead of talking to me about it before he left the job, he waited for me to call him about it. When we did speak, he said he could come in and put down more mulch at cost. At that point I decided to not have him return."

"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

You can dig 60 to 80 linear feet by hand per day depending on the depth. Digging a 100-foot trench by hand will take you two work days, but it can take longer if you have heavy or rocky soil. If you’re digging a deep trench or one that’s over 100 feet, consider renting a mechanical trencher, such as a walk-behind or ride-on, or calling a pro for help. 

Hardscaping often requires preparation of the ground in the area where the feature is being installed. This can include digging, compacting, and leveling the soil, ensuring adequate drainage, and removing any existing plants. The extent of preparation needed will depend on the type and size of the hardscaping feature being installed.

Sewer lines can be buried anywhere from 18 inches to 8 feet deep, with a common average depth between 18 and 30 inches. The exact depth depends on local factors like climate and soil type. In colder regions, pipes must be buried deeper (below the frost line) to prevent freezing, sometimes as deep as 8 feet. The digging depth can also impact the cost of sewer line replacement. To find the specific depth for your property, you can check the building plans for your system, which should be on file with your city or local sanitation department since permits are required for installation.

Yes, you can install a trench drain if you already have concrete in your yard or garden. While it can complicate some aspects of the job and slightly run up the cost, it is doable. Residential trench drains can be easily retrofitted to outdoor areas with concrete without having to remove excessive amounts of your patio, pool area, or decorative walkways.

It’s possible to transplant trees as tall as 50 feet when an experienced tree planting service uses the right equipment. However, a tree with a trunk larger than two or three inches in diameter needs to be handled by a professional in order to yield successful transplanting results. Consulting a tree planting professional is the best way to tell if your large tree can be safely transplanted.
