Customers say: Quick response

"P&M did work on our front yard gardens and installed new gardens in our back yard. Their workmanship and our finished garden areas are beautiful. They worked quick yet were efficient and thorough. The rock wall edging around the front garden is exactly what we wanted as well as the edging and plants they chose and planted. Give them an idea of what you want done and they will build upon it and give you a great finished product. They definitely take pride in their work. Don’t hesitate to give them a call…. you won’t be disappointed."

"Joel is a consummate professional who cares about the client and about the work. He doesn't stop until the job is complete and the client 110% satisfied! Clearing land and moving trees around a family home that needed dirt brought in, built up, leveled off and trees moved to ensure that water flows away from the house and that there is a pleasing space around the home. A man of integrity, good will, and a great sense of humor! And he cleans up! More than a fair price. We're sharing his name with everyone we know."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.

To locate an underground downspout, you should start by identifying where the above ground gutter drains. Look for an entry point, such as a pipe or elbow leading into the ground. Follow the surface path for signs like depressions, landscaping disruptions, or wet areas after rain. You can use a metal detector or plumber’s snake to trace the pipe underground. For deeper pipes, a professional locator tool or camera inspection may be necessary. Visual markers or utility maps can also guide the search.

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.

A joint utility trench, or joint trench, is a long, buried ditch on a property that contains two or more utility lines rather than running the lines in multiple trenches. Some utilities, like gas and electric or electric and communication lines, are better suited to joint trenching, while others, like water and sewer, are not allowed to be in the same trench.

Prior to excavation, you should prepare the dig site and call 311 before you sign anything.

To get your site ready for excavation, you should move anything in the area that isn’t affixed to the land. You can save money on the excavation by removing hardscaping, including walkways, decks, concrete patios, and paver patios.

Before you carry out any digging, you should call 311 to confirm that there are no utility lines running through your excavation site. Skipping this step could lead to severe injury and property damage if your excavator hits a water, sewage, or gas line.
