"We heard about Nathaniel from a family member last year. We needed to get our side-yards raised and graded due to erosion. Nathaniel was extremely informative in helping us choose the best solution. We asked for a quote on sod initially, but Nathaniel educated us on a longer-lasting solution. We ended up going with stones, pavers, mulch, and ground covers to completely transform the sides of our house. He even offered to come back and check up on the finished product and teach us how to properly maintain our yard. Free quotes, education, competitive pricing, and follow-ups definitely set Nathaniel apart from the rest! He is a pleasure to work with and extremely flexible and understanding!"

"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!"

"Mark and his crew were great! We removed an old deck and spa from our backyard. They demolished the wood, concrete and fiberglass as well as hauling off and cleaning up behind themselves. You would have never known any demo work had happened if you weren’t there watching. Highly recommend!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

A crawl space can be as little as 42 inches below the grade of your house, but this is not always recommended in flood-prone areas. At a minimum, there must be at least 16 inches of clearance between the ground and the floor joists to access the space in an emergency.

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.

To locate an underground downspout, you should start by identifying where the above ground gutter drains. Look for an entry point, such as a pipe or elbow leading into the ground. Follow the surface path for signs like depressions, landscaping disruptions, or wet areas after rain. You can use a metal detector or plumber’s snake to trace the pipe underground. For deeper pipes, a professional locator tool or camera inspection may be necessary. Visual markers or utility maps can also guide the search.

We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.

Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.

No, you typically cannot use metal detectors to find your sewer line. Most sewer lines are made of non-metallic materials such as PVC, clay, or cast iron, which are not detectable by standard metal detectors. Metal detectors are designed to locate metallic objects, so they won't be effective for identifying the path of a non-metallic sewer line. To locate your sewer line accurately, it's best to use other methods.
