"Five stars for Apex Site Works. They just finished resurfacing our driveway with gravel and fixed our sloping issues. The work is top-notch, and they even brought in extra material to make sure the job was done right. Great communication and followed through on every detail until the project was complete. Professional, punctual, and went the extra mile. Highly recommend!""

"I hired ColbyPro to remove 37 dead trees from my property. The trees were dug up, the root ball and canopy removed, and then the trees were cut up into 18-inch pieces for firewood. The canopies and root balls were burned, and the holes were back-dragged to fill in. The owner of ColbyPro explained how they were going to approach each step prior to the job beginning. The price was more than fair for the amount of work they did, and I would recommend them to anyone."

"I couldn’t be happier with the work Chris did for me! He did an incredible job on my landscaping—it looks beautiful and completely transformed my yard. On top of that, he also repaired a leak under my bathroom sink quickly and efficiently. Chris is not only skilled and knowledgeable in his work, but he’s also very personable and easy to talk to. He takes the time to explain things and makes sure everything is done right. Plus, he was right on time, which I really appreciate. Highly recommend Chris for any landscaping or home repair needs. He’s fantastic!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Most states do not require excavation companies to hold specific licenses, but many require at least a contractor’s license. Additionally, heavy equipment operators require a special commercial equipment license to operate machinery required for excavation. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to confirm that an excavation company you’re considering hiring is fully licensed. You should also make sure that the excavation team is fully insured before allowing them to work on your property.

The easier way to find buried sprinkler lines is to use the plan from the professionals who installed the system. If you don’t have professional plans, listen for running water on your lawn when you turn on the system. You may also spot wet areas, giving you an idea of where the heads are. Once you find the sprinkler heads, you’ll likely be able to connect the dots between them, revealing the system below.

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.

Depending on the severity of the freeze and the method used, thawing frozen underground pipes can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours. Applying heat directly to the pipe using heat tape, infrared lamps, or hot water jetting can speed up the process. However, patience and careful monitoring are key to avoiding pipe damage.

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.
