"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."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can technically make a crawl space liveable, but the only way to do so is by converting it into a basement. While some crawl spaces are big enough to walk through and store large items, they lack appropriate insulation and space to be liveable.

Concrete blocks are the cheapest way to base a shed. However, the space in between allows critters to go under, burrow, and even damage your shed’s frame. For a more pest-proof option, consider building a shed base with gravel or paver stones. Both options are fairly affordable and easy enough for a DIY project. For gravel, you can build a wooden frame to contain the loose material.

Some two-in-one tools and machines do both jobs, and those could be the right solution for smaller residential projects. However, the phrase “use the right tool for the job” definitely applies to digging. For the best results, get two separate tools for your trenching and landscape edging projects or call a pro to take care of everything for you.

Digging a well can cost between $20 and $25,000, depending on your needs. If you’re looking to dig a well yourself, all you need is a shovel. If you’re looking to have a well drilled by a professional, you can expect to pay around $15 to $30 per foot. The total cost of drilling a well will average to $5,500.

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.
