"I had an outstanding experience with Superior Services Contracting. They were professional, hardworking, and incredibly easy to work with from start to finish. Their pricing was fair, they worked quickly, and the quality of their construction cleaning exceeded our expectations. What really stood out was that they went above and beyond by helping organize the items we were keeping, which made the entire process much less stressful. It’s rare to find a company that takes that extra level of care. I would highly recommend Shannon and his son to anyone in the area looking for reliable, efficient, and affordable construction cleaning services. Thank you both for the amazing job!"

"Extremely well done. Project had flooding issues. The crew dug a drain well, regraded the yard and input a French drain system efficiently, effectively and were really easy to work with. Jimmy was clear, communicative and quick. I will definitely rely on this company again when necessary. Fantastic experience!"

"I have soooo much more usable property now! Ben had great ideas I hadnâ t thought of to open up my property, and make it SO much more functional. It was wonderful that he was able to bring in and operate a wide variety of machines to make quick work of a big job. He was a big help in sourcing material that was high quality and at a much better price than I could find elsewhere. Highly recommend, and will be hiring again!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Underground downspouts refer to the sections of downspout extensions that lead away from your home and gutter system. While they cost more than traditional extensions, they can provide several benefits, such as less frequent damage and no need to move them for lawn care tasks. Whether they're worth it or not depends on your budget at installation time and how much convenience they'll add to your situation.

To locate an underground downspout, you should start by identifying where the above ground gutter drains. Look for an entry point, such as a pipe or elbow leading into the ground. Follow the surface path for signs like depressions, landscaping disruptions, or wet areas after rain. You can use a metal detector or plumber’s snake to trace the pipe underground. For deeper pipes, a professional locator tool or camera inspection may be necessary. Visual markers or utility maps can also guide the search.

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.

Some two-in-one tools and machines do both jobs, and those could be the right solution for smaller residential projects. However, the phrase “use the right tool for the job” definitely applies to digging. For the best results, get two separate tools for your trenching and landscape edging projects or call a pro to take care of everything for you.

Hardscaping often requires preparation of the ground in the area where the feature is being installed. This can include digging, compacting, and leveling the soil, ensuring adequate drainage, and removing any existing plants. The extent of preparation needed will depend on the type and size of the hardscaping feature being installed.
