"Mike Cooper did a wonderful job. I had a leaking toilet and he was able to come to my home within a few hours. He was super efficient, polite, and has excellent work ethics. I would hire him again for my plumbing needs."

"The contract sent out a crew to remove the old roof. That crew completed that in 1 day. The contract didn't get a roofing crew out for about a week after. I ended up raining & causing interior damage. The roofers installed the new roof but it was horrible! It was very very poor work. The contract said he was going to fix a few problems & wanted to get the balance of the roof job. We questioned why he didn't @ less replace the fascia before doing the roof & that's when it turned. The contract wanted to get paid for the roof job before he did anything else. After going back & forth about the poor roof job, the contractor agreed to return the deposit because he admitted that it was a poor job. He wrote up a agreement to repay the deposit but has yet to do so. After several calls, he stated he is out of business & will pay a little @ a time, when he get some money."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

The average cost of excavation is around $3,200. Most jobs fall somewhere between $500 and $15,000, depending on the amount of soil to remove, whether or not there are landscaping features or structures in the vicinity that could complicate the excavation, and the quality and contents of the soil. Larger jobs will naturally cost more, as will those in tight spaces that demand manual excavation as opposed to using heavy machinery. Hard soil and tree roots can also extend the job and drive up your labor costs.

Yes, an excavation company is the best option for land grading and yard leveling. General landscapers might be able to tackle these projects, but an excavation company will do a better job because they’re used to operating the necessary heavy machinery. Landscapers might opt to do the work manually, which takes much longer and could cost you more in labor fees. Finally, excavation companies will understand local regulations and know when you need permits to legalize the work, while a landscaper might not.

Silt fences should be trenched 8 to 12 inches deep to prevent sediment-filled water from escaping underneath. It also helps to anchor the fence during wet, windy weather. The silt fence fabric often has a red line to indicate the depth for digging. A good contractor will be familiar with the guidelines and regulations.

The cost to dig a trench ranges from $400 to $1,200 per 100 linear feet, depending on the soil, depth, and width. Plan to spend $5 to $12 per linear foot for trenching (it’ll be on the higher end if you have rocky soil). Renting a trencher costs $100 to $250 per hour, depending on the type of trencher.
