"Having just moved back to El Paso, I bought a home that had *zero* landscaping in the backyard. Basically I had a mud pit every time it rained. I asked some of my neighbors for recommendations and the best one was about BC PRO. So I did some research about them and found that they're rated in the Top 10 Landscapers for El Paso. I called them and set an appointment for them to come and assess what I wanted. Now, I have to say that I thought I had some pretty good ideas, but after talking to Rob (the owner) he put mine to shame. The pool was finished two weeks later by another company, and work began on the landscaping. 4 days later I had the hard you see in the pictures. They installed a complete irrigation system, flagstone flower beds which they tailored to our want of a vegetable garden area, planted all of the trees you see, and enlarged the French Drain you see in the middle of the real Bermuda grass. It's absolutely beautiful, and their prices were lower than any other company we got an estimate from. Without a doubt, I can wholeheartedly recommend BC PRO Landscaping."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

If you don’t wish to dig it out and convert it into a finished basement, you can still encapsulate your crawl space to protect it from damage for an average cost of $5,500. Finishing a crawl space beyond this isn’t really worthwhile, as the low ceilings mean you won’t be able to use the area as living space.

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.

The easier way to find buried sprinkler lines is to use the plan from the professionals who installed the system. If you don’t have professional plans, listen for running water on your lawn when you turn on the system. You may also spot wet areas, giving you an idea of where the heads are. Once you find the sprinkler heads, you’ll likely be able to connect the dots between them, revealing the system below.

Trenches are typically 12 inches to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, your city or county may have specific ordinances that clarify the dimensions needed for the project. For instance, a water pipe may need to be 24 inches deep, but a drainage pipe may need to be 36 inches deep.

Your contractor should handle dust control during the project. It's best to speak with your contractor beforehand to check if they plan to cover your furniture, protect your vents, or use fans to redirect dust. Eliminating drywall dust is a particularly large challenge during construction, so always take this into account during your planning phase.
