"Gil at Epic Lawn care was courteous, professional and a pleasure to deal with. His crew, led by Rafael, is the best. Very thorough in the prep of the yard. 17 pallets of sod. First, they tilled the soil, then too soil, then laid and rolled the sod. At the end, Rafael helped tune the sprinkler system and drainage to ensure a good install. All in all, excellent work at a competitive price. Highly recommend!"

Small jobs welcome

"They did great work. My bridge was impassable due recent flooding/ erosion. We were stranded at home. Unable to get out/across. Jose-Hernandez Brothers said it would be the following Tuesday (five days later) until he could do the job (this meant we would miss attending our Grandson's Graduation Party). However, due situation, they took time off to come out and make the repairs that Saturday. I would highly recommend Hernandez Brothers Tractor Work & Dump Truck Service not just for their great work, but character."

"Jensen Irrigation did a fantastic job for me on my irrigation system. Caleb was quick to respond, assessed what needed to be done and had some great suggestions, and did the work well, leaving everything look great and in perfect order. I would highly recommend Jensen Irrigation. I have already enlisted them to do some additional work for me, including sod, landscaping, and tree trimming."

"We wanted to give the outside of our 39-year-old house an updated look. We had 4 35-year-old oak trees and overgrown shrubs pretty much hiding the front of the house. We used Angi’s List to find Select Landscaping. Derek came out to look at our current landscaping and made suggestions on what we should change. We removed 3 of the 4 trees, removed all of the shrubs added an irrigation system and completely sodded the front and back yard. New flower beds were added to the front and back yard with attractive stone edging. Stone edging was added to the property line on both sides of the front yard to give our new lawn a defined look along with helping to prevent weeds from growing in our yard from our neighbors’ yards. Derek’s selection of shrubs and annual plants really enhanced the look of our house. Derek also worked with a Lighting contractor to install landscape lighting in the front yard. Derek suggested added steppingstones and landscape rock to cover an area next to the driveway where our trash cans sit. We also added a underground drainage system to redirect rainwater from our roof downspouts to a pop-up drain release closer to the street which has greatly minimized erosion in the yard. Working with a single contractor has made this major landscaping update very easy. Derek would bring the sub-contractors as we worked out details of each phase of the update. The only negative comment we have is the Irrigation contractor did poor work and then filed for bankruptcy when they “finished” our project. Overall, I would recommend Select Landscaping and Derek for your landscaping updates. He has been able to handle our project which I would consider large with no issues."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Consultation with the local government helps identify necessary permits, avoid project delays or legal issues, and protect project integrity.

The rules and regulations regarding groundwater use vary between states. To find out if you can dig a well on your property, you’ll have to consult these regulations, address any compliance requirements, and get the appropriate permits. It’s also important to check that your intended location has the right geology and water table to support a well.

Drilled wells have a pipe sticking up that’s covered in a plastic or metal casing. On the other hand, a dug well will look like a big hole in the ground and is more similar to what you’d see in a fantasy or Western movie. If you want to be sure, contact the city for documentation on your property’s construction and excavation history. 

Professional installers often include a deep layer of crushed gravel under permeable pavers to allow more runoff to soak through into the soil below. Many installations will include multiple layers of gravel, with coarser aggregate at the base and finer aggregate that sits on top of that bottom layer. Above the gravel, you’ll often find coarse sand that helps reduce paver shifting over time. Some permeable paver designs include a water collection system set into the gravel layer to route runoff to a safe area for disposal.

To determine whether your homeowners' insurance will cover crawl space repair, consider the cause of the issue. Repair may be covered if the problems were caused by an event that the insurance covers, such as vandalism or a windstorm. However, companies won't cover the repair if the issues are caused by neglect or wear and tear.
