"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

If you have a broken sprinkler pipe underground, there will be some signs you can easily spot to locate it and take action. These include leaks, water spouts, flooding, consistently damp areas on your lawn, low water pressure, and grass around the sprinkler head that’s taller and darker than anywhere else in the yard. 

If there are no obvious signs of a broken pipe, you can use tools such as water leak mics, leak noise loggers, audio devices that record leaks, and acoustic testing links. 

Broken pipes can lead to uneven watering, plant damage, and higher utility bills. The longer you wait to fix them the more the repair cost may be.

Almost any kind of home can have a wine cellar or cabinet installed. You’ll need an area where a concrete floor can be put in, along with the necessary insulation, climate control, and ventilation systems. If you think of yourself as an aspiring sommelier, an underground wine cellar may be ideal, but it will cost significantly more. 

What you choose to install really depends on your budget and how many bottles you’re looking to store.

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.

Hard soil could be a sign of overly dry dirt, either from poor drainage or drought. It's important to test the nutrient levels, density, and drainage capacity of your soil to see if it's absorbing water properly. Begin by adding a light layer of water and observing how long the soil retains moisture. If you experience a good deal of runoff, you may need to aerate your lawn, apply a wetting agent, or hire a professional for a closer look.

It takes one hour to dig a 10-foot trench by hand. Use a trenching shovel with a sharp tip and a long head. Plan for more time if your soil is heavy or rocky. Consider renting a trencher if you’re digging a long or deep trench or if you have challenging soil or terrain.
