"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*"

"While I did not hire this company ultimately, I remained very impressed that they came to the site fully prepared (they did a ton of research on my property) and were ready to go day one had we chosen to go with them. In the end, we only decided to go with another contractor due to their existing familiarity with the current neighborhood we were in however, Empirevue are a top notch professional company judging by our initial interaction and I will be reaching out to them again for our other projects"

"The guys were all wonderful and very friendly and helpful. They took down my unsafe and very old deck along with a caved in shed and built me a new, bigger, safer and beautiful one! Can’t wait to get some furniture out there and enjoy the amazing view it offers."

"Advance Hardscapes LLC did an excellent job on my retaining wall. From start to finish, their team was professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. The quality of their workmanship really shows—the wall is solid, well-built, and looks great. They paid close attention to detail, stayed on schedule, and made sure everything was done right. I’m very happy with the final result and would highly recommend Advance Hardscapes LLC to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality hardscape work."

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.

Yes, most services include site leveling and foundation work. Confirm with your contractor for specifics.

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.

Hard soil could be a sign of overly dry dirt, either from poor drainage or drought. It's important to test the nutrient levels, density, and drainage capacity of your soil to see if it's absorbing water properly. Begin by adding a light layer of water and observing how long the soil retains moisture. If you experience a good deal of runoff, you may need to aerate your lawn, apply a wetting agent, or hire a professional for a closer look.

There is no standard depth for burying a septic tank; they are typically buried anywhere from 4 inches to 4 feet underground. The final depth depends on several factors, including the depth of your main sewer line, the height of the bedrock, soil type, local regulations, and the property's landscape. If you plan to grow grass or plants over the tank, a depth of at least 4 to 6 inches is recommended. Deeper tanks can be more difficult to locate, but a septic professional can help find it for you.
