"Very quick response and turnaround time. Hired them to clear and grade about 3/4 of an acre on our property. They came to check out my land and gave me a quote next business day. Started the project the next week and finished same day. Professional and kind crew. I'd use them for future projects."

"FixForte was very organized, very efficient, finished all work in the time frame. He did a little of everything, including installed 100+ bird barriers under my eaves, replaced 11 lighting fixtures and replaced 4 outlets, repaired some tiling, fixed a n entry light, plumbed a sink, installed shelving. Work was excellent! I would definitely hire him again!"

"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!"

"SJC redid our front yard, tearing out all the old landscaping, a tree, lots and lots of rock, they regraded the whole front and side yard and installed premium topsoil and seeded the yard. We now have inches of grass and clover growing! They also regraded the end of our driveway, which had become washed out. Great service! Respectful and fair!"

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).

A joint utility trench, or joint trench, is a long, buried ditch on a property that contains two or more utility lines rather than running the lines in multiple trenches. Some utilities, like gas and electric or electric and communication lines, are better suited to joint trenching, while others, like water and sewer, are not allowed to be in the same trench.

Errors in site preparation can lead to structural failures or appear costly midway. Professionals ensure detailed, reliable home base development layouts.

Yes. A metal detector is one of the quickest and easiest ways to find your septic tank. However, metal detectors can be too expensive (costing upward of $300 in some cases), and not everyone has a metal detector just lying around. If that’s the case for you, you can also take a long metal rod and poke it into the ground at regular intervals until you hit something—likely your septic tank lid.

Concrete blocks are the cheapest way to base a shed. However, the space in between allows critters to go under, burrow, and even damage your shed’s frame. For a more pest-proof option, consider building a shed base with gravel or paver stones. Both options are fairly affordable and easy enough for a DIY project. For gravel, you can build a wooden frame to contain the loose material.
