"We had quite a few delays to address the leveling of a large area in my yard due to rain, but Robert was very good to stay in touch and reschedule. When the yard dried and he was finally able to address my project, he did an amazing job! His equipment, his expertise and professionalism proved to be exactly what I needed to get this project done exactly as I required. All, for a fair and reasonable price. I highly recommend Robert and Frontline Land Services. I will be using their services in the future!"

"Baker Septic Systems did an excellent job for us replacing our old septic system with a new aerobic system. Our property is on solid rock and Bill Baker and his crew got the job done without any problems. Honest, punctual, and professional. Excellent quality work and reasonable prices. Strictly adhered to all Covid-19 guidelines. My neighbor also had him put in a system and he was extremely pleased also. Highly recommend!!!"

"Sure! Here’s a professional and positive review for a tree removal service—you can adjust the tone or add specifics (like company name, location, or type of tree) if you’d like: ⸻ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent Tree Removal Service! We hired this company for tree removal, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. They were professional, punctual, and clearly knew what they were doing. The crew worked quickly and safely, and they took great care to avoid damaging the surrounding property. Clean-up was thorough—by the time they left, you’d never know there was ever a tree there! Their pricing was fair, and communication was excellent throughout the process. Highly recommend for anyone needing reliable tree removal."

"Had to engineer the removal of an old hot tub from the pool house. Work required him to enlarge the sliding glass door to accommodate installation of the new hot tub. Prepared a new foundation for the new hot tub. Did all electrical work required. Then repaired the sliding glass door opening. Worked long hours and accomplished almost all the work himself. Final result was much better than we had hoped for. Estimate was spot on. Very satisfied."

He kept in contact throughout the entire time! Reasonable and fair pricing. This was an emergency for me and Mr. Kevin and his squad came through. We will definitely be calling on him again for more carpentry and home improvement jobs! Thank you and I pray nothing but growth and success for you and your business!!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Most residential basements are 8 to 10 feet deep. You can dig deeper depending on building codes, but it does become more difficult. You’ll likely need to install stronger foundation walls and additional supports to handle the increased load. Depending on the water table, you may also need a water management system. Clay soil can support a deeper foundation than sandy soil. A structural engineer will be able to tell you the maximum, feasible depth.

If you don’t have a crawl space but have a partial basement you want to make deeper, you can expect to spend a little less—between $40,000 and $90,000 on average. However, if you’re not adding new finished square footage, you won’t see much in the way of ROI.

The best type of soil to build on is a mixture of sand and clay, known as loam soil. Loam soil has the best combination of these soil types to build a foundation on. The clay particles help with water retention, so it won’t erode like sandy soil might, and the sandy particles help with drainage, so you won’t see unsafe soil expansion or have an increased risk of leaks from water sitting against your foundation.

Slab foundations are more affordable than crawl spaces because they require minimal excavation, as the slab sits directly on the ground or on footers that only sink a few feet into the ground. Crawl spaces require excavation of the entire footprint of the home to several feet below the surface. Not only does that mean higher labor costs, but more materials are necessary for the concrete foundation walls.

After you successfully remove your boulder, you have a few options for what to do to get rid of it. You can rent a dumpster if your yard has many boulders or if you’re planning a larger project. You can even save the boulder and reuse it elsewhere on your property to save on landscaping costs. A few ideas include using the boulder as a natural, abstract statue, breaking it into smaller pieces to line your garden bed, or offering it to a landscaping company that could reuse it for another project.
