"The work looks great, they came and leveled an area for my pool and found roots that were not removed by a previous landscaper. They removed the roots and leveled the area finishing with sand. I donâ t have the pool set up yet hope it all works perfect ð ð »"

"They came while I was at work, so I havenâ t met anyone, but Dustin texted and sent pictures. They cleaned all of the leaves and other tree debris from our yard and gutters, trimmed back some shrubs and removed one that has outgrown its spot. My wife and I were quite pleased. Weâ ve just moved into this new home, and weâ ve got many chores yet to do. Sharp Edge really helped us out. They even did a bit more than we asked for. Iâ ll definitely call them again. I believe they earned their money, and I believe the cost was fair."

"Top Ten Land Services is BEYOND Outstanding! Michael contacted us after we'd been given estimates from other companies ranging from $400-$800 to spread out a dump truck load of wood chips from Chip Drop (10-12 cubic yards). Although the quote for $400 from the other company was very gracious, it was still way over our budget of $200. Instead of laughing at us when we told him our budget, Michael asked the job location. It was only 9 minutes from a big project he had scheduled that day. He said he'd be happy to take care of it for us at such a low rate because it was so close to his big project that day. He arrived promptly at 8:30 am, and with amazing care and skill, spread the wood chips around a large tree and dog kennel for us. He was finished and on his way by 9 am! I can't praise Michael with Top Ten Land Services enough! Before he rescued us, we had already worked for hours on that pile manually-and hadn't made a dent. God BLESS Top Ten. DON'T hire until you talk to Michael!"

"M and P Landscaping installed 5 irrigation zones, sodded one side of my property, and removed several tree stumps. They were prompt, hard-working, and did a great job! I will definitely hire them again if I need another project done."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Yes, you can install a trench drain if you already have concrete in your yard or garden. While it can complicate some aspects of the job and slightly run up the cost, it is doable. Residential trench drains can be easily retrofitted to outdoor areas with concrete without having to remove excessive amounts of your patio, pool area, or decorative walkways.

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.

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.

Maintain open communication and address issues as they arise, ensuring contract terms cover potential delays.
