"Montes Construction put in a walkway for me. They answered all my questions and guaranteed that I would be highly satisfied with the end result. I was. Pricing was fair and the personnel were very proficient in what they were doing. End result was a fantastic looking walkway completed in just a few days."

"I cannot say enough about how INCREDIBLE Jose & Ary Caloca are! I took a gamble hiring them for my flooring project since they didn’t have any reviews yet, and I am HONORED to be their first! I submitted a quote request on Angi and Jose called me right away, came out the same morning, and gave me an extremely reasonable quote. He and Ary started the job the very next day and worked tirelessly to finish the project quickly, on budget, and most importantly, with impeccable results and attention to detail. They went above and beyond every step of the way, and even left my house more clean and organized than they found it. I simply can’t recommend them enough. They are hard workers and very good, honest people. I’ve already asked Jose to quote me for other projects I’ve been putting off around my home. It is so valuable to have a good contractor that you can trust. I would recommend Home Pro 915 to anyone (and I’ve already started telling all my friends about them!)"

"Took 1.5 days.  Overall cleaned up excellent and took care to put fence panel back in place.  Would have gone much faster had they had a backup chainsaw as this was one tough tree."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Some two-in-one tools and machines do both jobs, and those could be the right solution for smaller residential projects. However, the phrase “use the right tool for the job” definitely applies to digging. For the best results, get two separate tools for your trenching and landscape edging projects or call a pro to take care of everything for you.

Because decomposed granite is a durable material, a crushed rock or gravel base is optional as long as the DG is properly installed and compacted. However, installing a base is a good idea because it will ensure proper drainage and stability and act as a weed suppressant (although you may still occasionally have to pull weeds). Installing an adequate base can also increase the durability of driveways and walkways. If you forego the paver base or gravel underneath, line the area with landscaping fabric to avoid weeds.

The cost to repair a crawl space runs between $1,500 and $15,000, depending on the extent of the damage. Major flooding or water repairs can cost up to $10,000 for removal and repairs. If you simply need to clean your crawl space, expect to pay between $2,000 and $6,000 for a major cleanout. Replacing a crawl space beam due to rot or damage can cost between $1,500 and $5,000, while removing and replacing damaged insulation costs between $1,000 and $4,000.

Yes, you can install a trench drain if you already have concrete in your yard or garden. While it can complicate some aspects of the job and slightly run up the cost, it is doable. Residential trench drains can be easily retrofitted to outdoor areas with concrete without having to remove excessive amounts of your patio, pool area, or decorative walkways.

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.
