"New ground irrigation installed pavers lighting, covering, plants and stone bordering. Caesar and Mariano gave me a first class customer experience! Initially what separated them from the pack was their attention to detail and their willingness to win the job -we basically had minimal negotiations and were able cut to the chase and find that sweet spot between each of our bottom lines. As the job was being done Caesar and Mariano was on site each day and with a consistent fantastic crew. The work and the design was impeccable -I was more than pleased!! I had a contractor that was doing work on the inside of my house and they were even impressed with their process and the equipment/machinery they brought to the site to professionally compact, cut, execute etc. the job effectively and professionally. I will hire them again to design my backyard and for whatever else I need to keep my new Oasis beautiful."

"Colby was a pleasure to work with, he is friendly, he takes a lot of pride in his work, and very detailed oriented. Our property had a lot of heavy brush, he cleaned out the underbrush saving all of our large trees, cleared the fence lines, as well as adjusted the elevation to allow the water to run off probably. Everyone that drives by stops to tell us how great it looks! Colby will treat you right, he is reasonable, fair and honest!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Prior to excavation, you should prepare the dig site and call 311 before you sign anything.

To get your site ready for excavation, you should move anything in the area that isn’t affixed to the land. You can save money on the excavation by removing hardscaping, including walkways, decks, concrete patios, and paver patios.

Before you carry out any digging, you should call 311 to confirm that there are no utility lines running through your excavation site. Skipping this step could lead to severe injury and property damage if your excavator hits a water, sewage, or gas line.

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.

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even for projects that only involve grading or yard leveling. Permit requirements depend on your local government and the scope of the project, but they are especially common for significant digging or work that could affect utilities or public property. These permits help protect the local topography and prevent drainage issues. An experienced excavation company will typically know whether permits are needed and can often handle the process of pulling and closing them for you. You can also verify permit requirements by contacting your local building department and describing your project.

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

While general contractors sometimes handle demolition, you can also look specifically for local demolition contractors. Demolition experts need to understand structural integrity, the equipment needed for safe demolition, and the permits required for demolition.
