"Good Morrow did a wonderful job on taking out my trees, you can't even tell the trees were there, they were very nice, and they did the job on a very timely manner, they cleaned up their mess, and I would definitely use good morrow again if I had to take any more trees out."

"New ground irrigation installed pavers lighting, covering, plants and stone bordering. Caesar and Mariano gave me a first class customer experience! Initially what separated them from the pack was their attention to detail and their willingness to win the job -we basically had minimal negotiations and were able cut to the chase and find that sweet spot between each of our bottom lines. As the job was being done Caesar and Mariano was on site each day and with a consistent fantastic crew. The work and the design was impeccable -I was more than pleased!! I had a contractor that was doing work on the inside of my house and they were even impressed with their process and the equipment/machinery they brought to the site to professionally compact, cut, execute etc. the job effectively and professionally. I will hire them again to design my backyard and for whatever else I need to keep my new Oasis beautiful."

"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!""

"Scott and his crews are phenomenal. They put in a drain, cut trees and put in dirt and sod. They also put crushed rock between my garage and fence. Then they laid a small area by my gate to cover the area so it wouldnâ t be muddy. They did a fantastic job. Scott is extremely knowledgeable and really takes care of his clients. My yard has been transformed and looks great."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Excavations take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time it takes to excavate an area depends on the size of the area, the type of soil, the type of excavator, and even the time of year, since winter can make digging up the ground more difficult.

Trenchers can dig holes as narrow as 4 inches or as wide as 4 feet. Check the specifications of the trencher you rent or buy to determine how wide it will cut into the landscape. Better yet, let the excavation company know how wide you’d like the trench to be, and they can help you choose the right trencher for the job (or do it for you).

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.

Concrete blocks are the cheapest way to base a shed. However, the space in between allows critters to go under, burrow, and even damage your shed’s frame. For a more pest-proof option, consider building a shed base with gravel or paver stones. Both options are fairly affordable and easy enough for a DIY project. For gravel, you can build a wooden frame to contain the loose material.

You can dig 60 to 80 linear feet by hand per day depending on the depth. Digging a 100-foot trench by hand will take you two work days, but it can take longer if you have heavy or rocky soil. If you’re digging a deep trench or one that’s over 100 feet, consider renting a mechanical trencher, such as a walk-behind or ride-on, or calling a pro for help.
