"We have used Joe's Services for the last two years. They took out a grass area and put in river rock. They actually did more than I could begin to list. This year they did a beautiful job taking out a flower bed and putting in pavers, they leveled our old wood pile area, put in edging and rock. They see the jobs they do clear through including cleanup. We are having them do more work later this year. Joe and his crew are all totally proficient in the jobs they do. I would not hesitate in recommended them to anyone. you can't go wrong. Yakima, Wa"

"Geoff and his team were a lifeline as no one seemed to know how to find the leak that was causing a major water leak in my yard. They located the leak and repaired the water line within 24 hours of contacting them. They were on time, extremely fair on the quote and communicated with me throughout the process. They did a top notch job and most importantly gave me peace of mind. I will be calling on them again with any major repairs and highly recommended Sound Tradesmen LLC."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Professional installers often include a deep layer of crushed gravel under permeable pavers to allow more runoff to soak through into the soil below. Many installations will include multiple layers of gravel, with coarser aggregate at the base and finer aggregate that sits on top of that bottom layer. Above the gravel, you’ll often find coarse sand that helps reduce paver shifting over time. Some permeable paver designs include a water collection system set into the gravel layer to route runoff to a safe area for disposal.

The physical constraints of hand-drilling a well limit the depth you can achieve. Manually digging with picks and shovels may only lead to shallow wells of up to 60 feet in depth. To reach greater depths, you need more specialized equipment. The diameter of your well and the tools you’re using will determine how far down you can dig.

A perc test can take anywhere from one to eight hours to complete. The total time depends on factors like the amount of excavation required, the depth and width of the holes, and whether multiple test holes are needed. For a single hole, the process of filling it with water and monitoring the drainage rate usually takes less than an hour. Professionals can often complete the entire test in a single day. While it's possible to get results the same day, some companies may take a few days to provide the official report.

Most states do not require excavation companies to hold specific licenses, but many require at least a contractor’s license. Additionally, heavy equipment operators require a special commercial equipment license to operate machinery required for excavation. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to confirm that an excavation company you’re considering hiring is fully licensed. You should also make sure that the excavation team is fully insured before allowing them to work on your property.

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.
