"They went above and beyond for our project. They did exactly what we wanted and more. They even went as far as helping get some debris moved for us while they had their equipment out here. They built us these two beautiful rock retaining walls with ramps down the center and even went above and beyond by adding gravel to the second/third tier when I had mentioned I wanted to do it in the future. Their pricing was fair and they even helped out my mother in law to do some work. *If I could post a photo I would, but the file size is too large*"

"From the very start, Ian was professional and personable. He was always punctual for meetings and for performing the work. His responses to email were always timely and well written, something that I am sensitive about as a retired college professor. I am not in a position to truly judge the quality of his work, in part because it is underground. But I know that he did the work as scheduled for what I consider to have been a reasonable price and I have water in my house now. Ian was nice to work with and we are in the discussion stage for another project."

"The job was clearing out a 300 sq foot area of tree roots, prepping area for new driveway, and laying down new asphalt. The job with Dennis started out great. He worked very hard. When it came time to get asphalt for the driveway, the shop just had 1 variety that day. When he arrived at my house with the asphalt, he was visibly upset about the grade that they had available. He made the decision to get a grade that has rocks in it that are from .5"-1" size rocks. Definitely not a finer grade which is more acceptable for residential driveways. When he was done, he was still visibly upset about the results and even thanked me for not being irate with him. He was hiring a third party to come in and lay mastik to fill the gaps, and level the surface, then seal the entire driveway. I appreciated his hard work and believed he was taking care of the job, so I paid him since I felt he was a man of his word. I even gave him a $600+ tip. The mastik/sealing company came out the next day and only used mastik on 25% of the 300 sq feet. A few days after it was fully dry, I texted Dennis and expressed my concern that the gaps were not filled and the surface was not at all level. He agreed to have the sealing company come out again. I specifically asked Dennis if they were using mastik as another coating of seal would not fill the gaps. He ignored my question and a second layer of seal was applied. I texted Dennis after the weekend asking him to get back to me. I did not hear back from him. I texted the next day expressing my concern that the gaps were still not filled and that now, there were streaks from the second application of the driveway being sealed. I included photos and asked him to please get back to me. He said that the work was "not that bad" and he "did what was on the estimate". "If the work is unsatisfactory, then I recommend going with another company" I paid Dennis for his hard work and what I thought was his honest word about finishing my driveway. Definitely my fault for believing him at his word. Dennis was dishonest with me on many occasions. He said that mastik would be used to fill gaps and level the surface. That did not happen. When I repeatedly brought up the grade of asphalt that he chose without talking to me, he said "asphalt is aphalt" that there is no difference in grade. Dennis told me that he would come out and look at my driveway again, but he never did. Dennis claimed that he sent the company out to seal my driveway 3 times and it was twice. I know that this repair would not match my existing driveway, but asphalt that was a much more appropriate grade could have and should have been used. I will have to hire another company to rip out and redo what Dennis refused to complete as he told me. I'm sure most of the time Dennis has done great work. Unfortunately that was not my experience. I thought he was a man of his word, but his dishonesty and bad decisions have left me with an unacceptable end result."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Trenchers can dig holes as narrow as 4 inches or as wide as 4 feet. Check the specifications of the trencher you rent or buy to determine how wide it will cut into the landscape. Better yet, let the excavation company know how wide you’d like the trench to be, and they can help you choose the right trencher for the job (or do it for you).

Directional drilling is complex and requires training to use the advanced machinery. It can be challenging to monitor the position of the drill since there’s no direct line of sight. Directional drilling can also be more expensive with a cost of $10 to $30 per linear foot compared to $5 to $12 per linear foot for trenching. 

Yes, an excavation company is the best option for land grading and yard leveling. General landscapers might be able to tackle these projects, but an excavation company will do a better job because they’re used to operating the necessary heavy machinery. Landscapers might opt to do the work manually, which takes much longer and could cost you more in labor fees. Finally, excavation companies will understand local regulations and know when you need permits to legalize the work, while a landscaper might not.

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.

Downspouts should be buried at least 5 to 10 feet away from your foundation. This can vary depending on your local building codes, soil type, and property slope. The main goal is to ensure water is directed away from your foundation.
