"We hired On Grade Construction to pour a new patio and extend our driveway, and the whole experience was excellent from start to finish. Brad showed up on time, walked us through the process before starting, and clearly knew what he was doing — proper forming, good base prep, and clean control joints so we shouldn't see random cracking down the line. They cleaned up thoroughly afterward — no leftover concrete chunks or forms left in the yard — and the whole job was finished on the timeline they quoted. Pricing was The finish looks great. Even surface, clean edges, no weird lippage or trowel marks anywhere. They also got the slope right so water runs away from the house instead of sitting there. Cleanup was solid too — didn't leave a mess of concrete scraps or old forms lying around. Job got done on the timeline they promised, and the price matched the quote (no random extra charges tacked on). If you need concrete work done right, these guys are worth calling. We'd use them again."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

It can take several weeks for the ground to settle after removing a tree, and the soil under larger, more mature trees can take months. The deeper the tree has been ground under the soil, the longer it will take to settle. However, this extra depth can help you plant new landscaping sooner because you’ll have more space for fresh soil.

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.

Preparation involves site assessment, clearing debris, grading surfaces, and compacting soil to support stable construction.

How deep your septic system needs to be into the ground depends on several factors. In extremely cold environments, the tank needs to rest below the maximum frost line, which can be up to six or eight feet deep. The standard burying depth for most systems is between a few inches and four feet below ground level. Depth can also depend on the slope of the landscaping and other property variables. 

If you have a broken sprinkler pipe underground, there will be some signs you can easily spot to locate it and take action. These include leaks, water spouts, flooding, consistently damp areas on your lawn, low water pressure, and grass around the sprinkler head that’s taller and darker than anywhere else in the yard. 

If there are no obvious signs of a broken pipe, you can use tools such as water leak mics, leak noise loggers, audio devices that record leaks, and acoustic testing links. 

Broken pipes can lead to uneven watering, plant damage, and higher utility bills. The longer you wait to fix them the more the repair cost may be.
