"I had ABS come out to clean up and refresh our backyard, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Their quote was very reasonable compared to other options we considered, and they were extremely responsive throughout the entire process. They showed up when they said they would, worked efficiently, and did a fantastic job clearing everything out and laying pine straw. The attention to detail really made a difference, and the yard looks better than it has in years. If you’re looking for a landscaping company that provides great communication, fair pricing, and high-quality work, I highly recommend ABS. We’ll definitely be using them again in the future."

"Nick Sagnella and his crew did a superb job and I could not recommend them more highly. His ethics and truthfulness are beyond reproach. From start to finish they were hardworking and started and finished the job on time. If you are looking for a contractor to "cite" your lawn drainage problem, Drain My Lawn should be your only choice."

"SHS Construction built us a screened in back porch 12 years ago when the company was new. Excellent work and workman back then. Wanted to remodel our master bathroom & once again called on SHS Construction. They have only gotten better! Quality work, professional workmen, easy communication with contractor and on-site checks by him throughout project. Have worked with contractors when living in other states and SHS is by far the best. Highly recommend SHS for value, workmanship and knowledge."

"This is my FIRST time hiring a lawn pro and Mr. Luis M (803 Lawn Care) has performed EXCEEDED EXPECTATION. Luis is very professional and diligent to his work to the excellence. He is customer focused. He turned my "messy" backyard to be the perfect, neat and tidy platform. He made my front and back bushes look very organized and his expertise is outstanding. His work ethics are very impressive with high level of integrity. Luis has done a very amazing job to both of my front and back yards. I have no reservation to recommend Luis of 803 Lawn Care to any commercial and residential lawn care project.

Excavating questions, answered by experts

A crawl space can be as little as 42 inches below the grade of your house, but this is not always recommended in flood-prone areas. At a minimum, there must be at least 16 inches of clearance between the ground and the floor joists to access the space in an emergency.

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.

Digging out a basement takes anywhere from a few days to a few months. Most projects take at least two to five weeks, but it could take several months if you encounter obstacles. This project takes longer if you need to brace or raise your home before the excavation. Digging out a basement in new construction can take as little as three days.

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.

To locate an underground downspout, you should start by identifying where the above ground gutter drains. Look for an entry point, such as a pipe or elbow leading into the ground. Follow the surface path for signs like depressions, landscaping disruptions, or wet areas after rain. You can use a metal detector or plumber’s snake to trace the pipe underground. For deeper pipes, a professional locator tool or camera inspection may be necessary. Visual markers or utility maps can also guide the search.
