"Simply put, they are The Best. Responded right away, helped with my vision for several projects that included brickwork (beautifully done!) around front beds, new cedar fence and gate and old fence removal, and most importantly a flower garden to memorialize my husband. They completed all of that in record time and for a really great price. Xavier and his Awesome Crew will get whatever job you have done, with care, communication and professionalism."

"Britt Holland was professional, courteous and proved the person for the job. We had numerous problems with our plumbing from the previous plumber. Britt repaired all the issues and found other issues that would have caused problems. His work was great and no further issues. He’s the guy I will call immediately for any plumbing problem. Great job"

"Cheryl was great to work with. Very professional and responsive and I would definitely hire again and/or recommend to friends and family. Rated "good" on punctuality because of a little delay in getting all the debris picked up."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Underground downspouts refer to the sections of downspout extensions that lead away from your home and gutter system. While they cost more than traditional extensions, they can provide several benefits, such as less frequent damage and no need to move them for lawn care tasks. Whether they're worth it or not depends on your budget at installation time and how much convenience they'll add to your situation.

You do not have to dig footers for a deck as long as it meets local code and holds up to weather in your area. If you live somewhere that experiences high winds and earthquakes, you may need to dig for your deck posts. Deck blocks, post anchors with base plates, and helical pile systems are the three no-dig deck post options you can choose from if local code permits.

The rules for trenching and excavation include setting up and following safety protocols, learning how to use tools and machines properly, and ensuring there is a safe exit for all workers. Keep heavy equipment and materials away from the edge of the hole or trench. Call the 811 dig line before starting any excavation or trenching project to ensure you don’t hit any electrical or gas lines.

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.
