"I had a significant erosion problem on a sloped portion of my yard. Putnam Greenspace provided a quote that included the cost of all materials, so I knew what I would be paying. The topsoil was delivered, graded, raked, and seeded. Erosion control netting was laid down and all was done on time. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Putnam Greenspace to anyone. As an addition to this project, Putnam Greenspace also cleared out an old burn pile in my back yard that included concrete blocks and fence wire. This was not a job that I could easily have accomplished - if at all - by hand. The site was left cleared and leveled and ready to go."

"We hired J&S Construction remodeling to repair a shed roof, steps to our wooden porch, and to install a railing on our front porch steps. Couldn't be happier with the outcome. He did a great job and quickly. We were working within a time frame and appreciate him accomplishing everything in under 3 days. His estimate for the repairs was affordable and on par with the other estimates we received. We will be hiring J&S again in the future. * I tried uploading photos but it says the file size is too large."

"It went great. Kevin is an 'owner operator' so I don't have to deal with a guy disconnected from the work coming it to check in once in a blue moon. He does stuff the right way. He communicates amazingly, we had some small 'additions' to the project that were fairly priced and didn't go much beyond the original quote (few hundred bucks on a 10k+ job). Also, these additions were caused by poor workmanship of my hardscapes company I had earlier, Kevin's team rebuilt part of their wall, re-supported the coping in one corner, and added a low retaining wall to the edge of the patio to keep the pavers from falling out into the yard (yes, previous company just had pavers end to grass with a plastic mulch bed edge holding in the patio). I was referred to Kevin through a neighbor and he has also completed a fairly large job at my neighbors house since (similar work to mine)."

"For over eight months I have tried on my own to get several foundation wall repair companies, local and out of town, to fix an opening in a foundation wall at my home. The highly recommended companies, a total of six, came out and indicated that they could not do the job. In total frustration and on the verge of giving up I remembered HomeAdvisor. I have used them in the past with other projects involving my home with great success. So, I entered the foundation wall problem on HomeAdvisor.com and only one company popped up, Top Notch Lawn and Home Services. I contacted them, and a few days later Chanse, the owner, came out and took a look at the problem and indicated that he and his crew could fix it. Needless to say, that took a great deal of weight off my shoulders. A few days later, Chanse and his crew arrived and repaired the foundation wall that had plagued me for over eight months. They also re-landscape and re-seeded the area that was affected by the repair. This company is by far the best I have ever came across. I will be recommending this company to anyone needing foundation repair or lawn and home services. This company is truly remarkable in its professionalism, experience, and speediness of service. If I could, I would have given them ten stars. Great job HomeAdvisor for listing this company."

Customers say: Quick response

"Paul and crew were fantastic. He came out several times to quote the work and to rework the quote to better fit in our budget. We had an existing deck extended and a ramp added, a new garage stairway built and a new deck built for our front entry. Our big focus for this project was improving access from the house to the outdoors for both my handicap husband and our aging arthritic dogs. He’s a busy guy (because he is good) therefore we had to wait awhile for the project to begin but it was worth the wait. They showed up on time every day until the project was completed. He asked for design clarification when necessary and changed coarse without complaint when changes needed to be made. Honest, trustworthy and talented. The quality of his (and crews) work was top notch. Paul takes pride in the quality of the materials used and his workmanship which shows in the end result. The deck in the front is a beautiful extension of our home that not only “classed up” the entry but extended our livable space in this home. Both my husband and I have many decades of home improvement under our belt and can say with confidence that Paul is a fantastic resource for any project you maybe considering. Very pleased."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The rules and regulations regarding groundwater use vary between states. To find out if you can dig a well on your property, you’ll have to consult these regulations, address any compliance requirements, and get the appropriate permits. It’s also important to check that your intended location has the right geology and water table to support a well.

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.

To drill a shallow well, you may be able to use a drive well point. This is a tapered point that is driven into the ground. A drill bit at the end of PVC pipe may be another option to consider. A lot of the cost depends on what tools are available near you.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

Most professional excavation teams will charge between $8 and $15 per cubic yard. Calculate the cost by finding the volume of your pool—width x length x depth—and dividing it by 27. Then, multiply the price by the cubic yards from your equation. Budget for complications like a rocky lawn, hard-to-access pool area, or high local labor prices.
