"Ryan removed some tress from my yard. He was prompt and professional and very reasonably priced. He took extra care to not disturb the existing lawn with the equipment. Went above and beyond to clear the area of all debris. Would highly recommend."

"Top notch company, I would highly recommend to anyone. Brad was easy to work with on our project. He stuck to his contract and cost. There were no surprise extra cost at the end. I used a company prior to them that basically botched the entire job. Brad fixed all of their mistakes and believe me there were many! Very professional and friendly company!"

"Too Tall was very polite, professional, dependable, and reasonably priced. He did a great job in repairing my yard and reseeding it. My yard was a total disaster after having a new septic drain system installed late in February. The company (Benjamin Franklin Plumbing)that I had hired to replace my drain field was supposed to return my yard back to normal but failed to do so. They are plumbers, not landscapers. I hired Too Tall to come in and re-excavate and reseed my yard. It took him less than 4 hours to complete this and did an excellent job. The grass is now coming in nicely and my yard is smooth and will be very easily mowable. I am very pleased with his work and would highly recommend him to others."

"Zach was very professional and always quick to respond. He came out and did a great job. I needed 15 post holes and even with some rock and tree roots in the way he was able to knock the job out quickly. I would definitely recommend him for any work you have."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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. 

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.

It can take several weeks for the ground to settle after removing a tree, and the soil under larger, more mature trees can take months. The deeper the tree has been ground under the soil, the longer it will take to settle. However, this extra depth can help you plant new landscaping sooner because you’ll have more space for fresh soil.

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.

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.
