"I hired Trent because he seemed to be a good man. He promised that he would not stop until I was happy. He did not disappoint. He did a fantastic job and his price was competitive. Will definitely use him again for landscaping around pool."

"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)."

"The company came out quick checked out my problem and issues with water ponding in my yard and going on my patio and into my crawl space, the company came out a couple of days later and started the work, it was quick efficient and it was done correctly. The team was very respectful they cleaned up at the end of their day, and came back the next day to complete their job! Everyone was A1! Everything looks fantastic, so when it rains the water can go where it belongs down the the hill and not under my house and hanging out pooling in my yard making a muddy mess! The equipment, and the tech they used was Top Notch, very professional. Money well spent! Now me and my family can enjoy our patio without wearing rubber boots to get to Our Deck under a patio cover. Great job Yaardvark landscape Management company!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Depth is not a qualifying component of evacuation. Any human-made cut, cavity, or depression in the earth’s surface is considered excavation. The hole from excavation can be any size, shape, or depth. Excavation is used to create foundations, reservoirs, drainage ditches, and roads. Long, narrow excavations are called trenches and are often used for underground utilities.

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

Yes, professional installations include trenching or borehole drilling required for ground loops.

The physical constraints of hand-drilling a well limit the depth you can achieve. Manually digging with picks and shovels may only lead to shallow wells of up to 60 feet in depth. To reach greater depths, you need more specialized equipment. The diameter of your well and the tools you’re using will determine how far down you can dig.

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.
