"Green Elites installed stone around my inground pool. The work was impeccable. They were thorough, timely and did the job as they promised they would. They showed up each day and cleaned up each day. They also installed a flower bed border. The quality of work and price could not be beat! Med was very attentive and responsive. They are my contractor for life! I highly recommend them."

"I hired coastal landscape construction to install a concrete walk way on my new construction house and couldn’t be happier with the finished product and the company. Bobby was professional and very easy to work with, his crew was skilled, and they left the jobsite cleaner than when he got there. After working with a lot of contractors building this house I can’t say enough good things about this company. Highly recommend"

"Justin Morris of ROC Construction was very knowledgable, nice and considerate. He did an excellent job not just installing the driveway but also keeping us informed about when he'd be coming by. Both my husband and I are very satisfied with the work done."

"We hired JM Concrete to remove an old broken sidewalk and pour a new one for the entrance to our home. They did a wonderful job. They are easy to get in touch with and good at returning phone calls. They gave us an excellent price on the job. They were professional, courteous, and worked hard. We are very pleased with the finished product. I would definitely recommend this company."

"I would highly recommend Underground Services First. They did a great job, and they found a couple of other plumbing issues in our house that weren't found initially, and fixed them for free. They were good at explaining what needed to be done and how they were going to do it in layman's terms. They were very thorough and made sure everything was functioning, not leaky, and clean before they left. It was easy to schedule an estimate and it was easy to get on their project calendar. Everyone was kind, responsive, and professional."

"Friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and very informative. John explained the excavation and power rake process step by step and even explained the process and specifications of concrete contractor requirements after his completion. Really enjoyed having John and Amber as my excavator. I would highly recommend this John Kahl and Amber, BossHogg Industries."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Slab foundations are more affordable than crawl spaces because they require minimal excavation, as the slab sits directly on the ground or on footers that only sink a few feet into the ground. Crawl spaces require excavation of the entire footprint of the home to several feet below the surface. Not only does that mean higher labor costs, but more materials are necessary for the concrete foundation walls.

A joint utility trench, or joint trench, is a long, buried ditch on a property that contains two or more utility lines rather than running the lines in multiple trenches. Some utilities, like gas and electric or electric and communication lines, are better suited to joint trenching, while others, like water and sewer, are not allowed to be in the same trench.

If you don’t have a crawl space but have a partial basement you want to make deeper, you can expect to spend a little less—between $40,000 and $90,000 on average. However, if you’re not adding new finished square footage, you won’t see much in the way of ROI.

Skunk digging looks like a series of small, cone-shaped holes on a lawn or around the perimeter of a home, porch, deck, or shed. The holes that skunks dig when searching for grubs tend to be no more than four inches in diameter and may be up to four inches deep.

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.
