"They did an amazing job on installing drainage with river stone across our front yard. They also enlarged our existing flower beds to help with the drainage and put in a lovely path from our front door through the flower beds. The crew and the supervisor were all extremely professional and respectful of our property. They arrived on time and worked hard throughout the duration of the project. I would highly recommend them!"

"This crew didn't waste any time. Once they arrived, they all grabbed equipment and started right in. They work hard, do a good job and clean up when they're done. I will definitely hire them again in the future."

"My roof looks fantastic and Titan is an amazing company from Jeremy,Mary, Joe and their wonderful crew. I can’t recommend them enough. They also replaced about 1/3 of my cedar siding. The work looks great and was professionally done. Pricing was also great. If you need a job done professionally they are the ones to call!!!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

You should dig 3 to 6 inches deep for plastic edging. Dig as wide as you need to fit your plastic edging into it—2 inches is usually sufficient.

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.

Your contractor should handle dust control during the project. It's best to speak with your contractor beforehand to check if they plan to cover your furniture, protect your vents, or use fans to redirect dust. Eliminating drywall dust is a particularly large challenge during construction, so always take this into account during your planning phase.

Drilled wells have a pipe sticking up that’s covered in a plastic or metal casing. On the other hand, a dug well will look like a big hole in the ground and is more similar to what you’d see in a fantasy or Western movie. If you want to be sure, contact the city for documentation on your property’s construction and excavation history. 

Slab foundations are more affordable than crawl spaces because they require minimal excavation, as the slab sits directly on the ground or on footers that only sink a few feet into the ground. Crawl spaces require excavation of the entire footprint of the home to several feet below the surface. Not only does that mean higher labor costs, but more materials are necessary for the concrete foundation walls.
