"Three-peat customer here! This time we had Hunter and his company update the backyard at our rental property. Per usual, a great job was executed in a timely manner. He went above and beyond to help us prepare for new tenants. We will be updating the driveway here later this year using his services as well."

"I recently had the pleasure of hiring A&J Handyman Services for a series of home improvement projects and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. From the very beginning, the communication was clear and responsive. They were incredibly accommodating to my schedule and were punctual for every appointment. The team demonstrated a high level of professionalism and attention to detail in their work. They tackled a range of tasks including driveway extension, landscaping, pressure washing, and interior and exterior painting with efficiency and expertise. Each project was completed to the highest standard, and they were always willing to go the extra mile to ensure everything was perfect. What stood out to me was their commitment to cleanliness and respect for my home. They made sure to clean up at the end of each day, which really minimized the disruption to our daily life. The pricing was transparent and fair, providing great value for the quality of service received. I was particularly impressed by their problem-solving abilities and how they provided effective solutions for unexpected issues that arose during the projects. I highly recommend A&J Handyman Services to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality home improvement services. They have truly exceeded my expectations and have earned a loyal customer in me."

"I couldn't be happier with my back deck demo by Carolina Land and Debris. The entire team was a pleasure to work with from the initial consultation to the removal of the deck. They showed up on time, worked hard, cleaned up, and completed the project quickly and as scheduled. I would definitely recommend to anyone who has a demo project."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Professional installers often include a deep layer of crushed gravel under permeable pavers to allow more runoff to soak through into the soil below. Many installations will include multiple layers of gravel, with coarser aggregate at the base and finer aggregate that sits on top of that bottom layer. Above the gravel, you’ll often find coarse sand that helps reduce paver shifting over time. Some permeable paver designs include a water collection system set into the gravel layer to route runoff to a safe area for disposal.

The rules and regulations regarding groundwater use vary between states. To find out if you can dig a well on your property, you’ll have to consult these regulations, address any compliance requirements, and get the appropriate permits. It’s also important to check that your intended location has the right geology and water table to support a well.

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. 

Landscape edging is more DIYable than trenching. You can DIY your own digging projects, but proceed carefully and only with proper knowledge of the equipment and appropriate safety measures in place. Keep in mind the project's scope and estimate how long it will take you to do it on your own. While you can certainly save money by DIYing home improvement projects, you can’t exactly hide an unfinished—or worse, ruined— landscaping job from the neighbors. It’s always safer to call an excavation pro near you to get an estimate.

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.
