"Jon went over up and beyond to remove a very dangerous side ditch I accidentally slid into in the winterâ ¦ tore apart a inefficient road and repositioned it with widening â ¦ excavatingâ ¦ and tree removal to offset my road and driveway up the hill in a more safe and secure directionâ ¦. He took it upon himself to bold me a much needed retaining wall thus preventing future soil erosion and trenching which could ultimately destroy parts of this property â ¦ killed off a nearby snake pit and reworked another drainage ditch making water head in an entirely different direction thus preserving my new and beautiful safe road forever Iâ m extremely happy to have been so fortunate to have come across such a reputable and trustworthy business that incorporates a lot of pride and integrity with the work he performs Jon is very talented and I am and will continue spreading around to everyone that HE IS THE MAN FOR THE JOB No hanky pankyâ ¦ no extraordinary or outrageous estimates or unexpected chargesâ ¦no lying or skirting unforeseen problems or issues to just get the job done And Iâ m not one to even give recommendations these days but for this company itâ s a definite and solid YES"

"Colton did a great job with welding up my dump trailer. Overtime it developed some issues and without hesitation, he came and picked up my dump trailer for me and immediately got to work and got it back to need fixed as I requested within about a day and a half."

"I honestly cannot say enough good things about ERE! We were having some drainage issues in our backyard, and were worried about the integrity of our foundation. Jon contacted me within a day of my search and set up a consultation a few days later. He was super knowledgeable and understood what I wanted done, even when I couldnâ t exactly describe it. Jon was very thorough and kept me updated on everything he was going to be doing, and gave me several options when it came to budgeting and services. He and his team even went above and beyond by repairing the sprinkler lines that the previous owner had damage, at no extra cost. Our backyard now looks 100x better than before and we no longer have to worry about water draining towards our house & foundation. I will absolutely recommend ERE to everyone I know & will likely use them in the future for any of our landscaping needs!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The digging depth will depend on the size of the trencher you use. Even smaller units can dig up to 4 feet deep, which is plenty for a DIY job. However, much larger trenchers can reach a depth of 18 feet and are better used by a team of pro contractors, not a single DIYer. As with all home improvement projects, use the right tool for the job and proceed with caution.

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.

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.

No, fire blight does not survive free in the soil but instead is carried through insects, animals, rain, or wind during the spring. Keep in mind that it can also spread on tools, which is why you should always disinfect them in between cuts.

If you’re planning to dig on your property, you’ll need to check for underground utility lines. Call the national call-before-you-dig 811 number. Once connected to an operator, you can schedule a site visit to mark underground lines. This way, you won’t accidentally dig into pipes and can cause major (read: costly) issues.
