"Update-6/10/19: After more than a month of repeated requests, apparently Juan Carlos is so busy he's yet to have his irrigator come back and adjust the system to not turn on when it rains. The Rain Bird tech(maker of the equipment) felt it maybe a faulty sensor or not paired correctly. We also have a few plants that are not doing too well that may also be irrigation related. These little customer service tweaks after the work is key to customer satisfaction and value of ones gurantee. Juan Carlos advises they have a 1 year guarantee on their work, irrigation and landscaping. We did a fairly complete landscape home remodel of the front, side and back yards for plants, trees, sloping for water drainage, sod, concrete driveway repair, new flagstone front walkway, sidewalk and entry steps, cedar-entry post and railing, irrigation, and lighting. They had the manpower and equipment to complete it in 3 weeks. Their lead supervisor --Rocky, knowledgable in most all trades, was the key to making it all happen and then some! They were on the job at 7:30 am till 5 pm and cleaned up every day. Bravo!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

The average cost of excavation is approximately $3,200, with typical projects ranging from $500 to $15,000. Depending on the contractor, you may be charged between $50 and $200 per cubic yard or an hourly rate of $40 to $180 for an excavation specialist. The total cost is influenced by several factors, including the project size, the amount of soil to be removed, and the soil's condition. Hard soil, tree roots, or excessive rocks and clay can increase the price, potentially adding $200 to $1,200 to the final bill. Other factors that can drive up costs include the presence of nearby structures that complicate the work or tight spaces that require manual excavation instead of heavy machinery.

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.

Septic drain lines (or leach lines) are typically buried between 18 and 36 inches underground, and should be at least 6 inches below the surface. These pipes are perforated and surrounded by filtering materials like sand or gravel. Burying the lines at this depth helps minimize odors and allows bacteria and other biological processes in the soil to effectively treat the wastewater. Burying lines too close to the surface can cause issues unless the soil is very compact and stable.

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.
