"These good folks arrived to do a rather small job (which another company said was too small for them), and when the owner came out to provide an estimate, he recommended other work that his organization could do when we were ready to bring them back! I was so impressed by their approach - both the estimate for the initial work as well as their suggestions for future work - that my wife and I decided to incorporate their recommendations immediately. The bottom line is the work was completed before the time they said they would need, they totally exceeded our expectations, and we would strongly recommend this organization to neighbors and friends! They deserve five stars across the board! Totally Satisfied in Williamsburg, VA"

"This was an incredibly difficult and extensive property renovation. The crews which completed the work are some of the best craftsmen and women that I have ever met. The crews are concerned with getting the job done; and if it was not done correctly, they would fix it....no questions asked. Pleasure to deal with this professional crew."

"Oscar cleared brush and high grass on about an acre along the back of my property. The property is irregular shaped, uneven terrain with multiple trees. He brought in the appropriate equipment, showed up when promised and did a great job. His prices are fair and I would definitely use him again."

"I created a work request through Angie's list and they were one of the first to respond and were at my home within hours to provide a quote. the quote was high but they were ready to perform the job. the plumbers did a great job performing the agreed upon request. in the future when I have more time to estimate jobs I may not call them knowing they quote on the high side."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Excavations take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time it takes to excavate an area depends on the size of the area, the type of soil, the type of excavator, and even the time of year, since winter can make digging up the ground more difficult.

No, fire blight does not survive free in the soil but instead is carried through insects, animals, rain, or wind during the spring. Keep in mind that it can also spread on tools, which is why you should always disinfect them in between cuts.

Dumpsters work best on hard, study, and level surfaces made of asphalt, stone, or concrete. If the surface is uneven or too soft, the dumpster could get stuck or tip over when filled. Keep in mind that you must obtain a dumpster permit to keep it on a city street in many areas.

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.

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.
