"Contractor gave a very positive review in regards to the quality of the dirt work & site preparation completed by J&J Dirt Service, LLC. The land started out covered with trees & required lots of leveling. I will definitely choose this company again in the future if the opportunity arises. Please reach out to me or contact me if any questions."

"I will be objective and rate Tim's services as a C. He did A quality work for us last year. He's a good guy and a hard worker. He mentioned several times last year that he did more than just mow lawns, so before mowing season this year, I offered him some handyman work we needed done...~$1,200.00 worth. Heard back once and when it came time to schedule, crickets. Then I told him we'd love him to start mowing soon and he set up an appointment for Monday (1 APR). No text, no call, no show. He will do good work for you if he responds or shows up for appointments. That is guaranteed. I personally don't have the patience for unprofessionalism though."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can excavate in the winter, but it might make the job harder. Frozen ground is harder to dig, and snow or ice can make the work site more hazardous. A contractor may need special equipment and techniques, such as ground-thawing methods, to break through frozen soil. Although winter excavation is possible, it may take longer and be more costly than excavating during warmer months.

Trenches are typically 12 to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, the required depth depends on the specific project and local ordinances. For example, a French drain may need to be 18 inches deep, while a water pipe might require a depth of 24 inches and a drainage pipe 36 inches. Your city or county may have specific regulations, so it's wise to consult with an excavation professional to determine the correct depth for your project.

Almost any kind of home can have a wine cellar or cabinet installed. You’ll need an area where a concrete floor can be put in, along with the necessary insulation, climate control, and ventilation systems. If you think of yourself as an aspiring sommelier, an underground wine cellar may be ideal, but it will cost significantly more. 

What you choose to install really depends on your budget and how many bottles you’re looking to store.

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.

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.
