"We canâ t say enough great things about Tim Young and his company. From start to finish, he exceeded our expectations in every way. We had a vision for our outdoor space, and he and his team brought it to life beyond what we could have imagined. From the moment we met Tim, we knew we selected the right company. His enthusiasm, knowledge, and creativity is what pushed it over the top. He listened to our ideas and provided thoughtful, creative suggestions that truly enhanced our original plan. His crew was always punctual, respectful of our property, and maintained a clean workspace every day. One of the best things about Tim is his attention to detail. Every stone, plant, and feature was chosen and placed with care, and it shows in the finished product. Our outdoor space feels both luxurious and welcoming â a true extension of our home. If youâ re looking for a landscaping company that combines professionalism, creativity, and high-quality work, look no further than Gardens Youngâ s Landscape Design. We couldnâ t be happier with the results, and weâ ve received countless compliments from neighbors and guests. Highly Recommend."

"First of all, THANK YOU SO MUCH to all of you at Stabuilt from our family to make our multiyear dream come true. We can’t believe this transformation still. When we met Brent for the first time, we felt so confident that we are on right track and then with Leland and then specially with Hamid to bring it all together. Each of you were really wonderful to work with! Project Manager Hamid was available anytime to discuss our ideas and helped with many suggestions throughout. We had many changes throughout that the crew was able to accommodate it and were able to complete it in a very reasonable time. There were many times Hamid and crew went extra mile to help us!"

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.

Trenching and boring are two distinct methods for installing underground utilities. Trenching involves digging a channel using equipment like an excavator, trencher, backhoe, or shovel. While it is a simpler process, it causes significant disruption to the surface, landscaping, and surrounding ecosystems.

Boring, also known as directional boring, is a less invasive alternative that uses a drill to create a tunnel for utility lines without disturbing the surface. This method is more precise and is ideal for installations that need to go underneath buildings, roads, or bodies of water. Although boring is less disruptive, it is generally more expensive than trenching.

While you can save some money by digging your own pool, you may end up paying more in construction equipment rental fees in the long run. You could, however, focus your DIY energies on lowering the cost of leveling your lawn for your pool or filling in surrounding landscaping after construction.

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.

Slab foundations are more affordable than crawl spaces because they require minimal excavation, as the slab sits directly on the ground or on footers that only sink a few feet into the ground. Crawl spaces require excavation of the entire footprint of the home to several feet below the surface. Not only does that mean higher labor costs, but more materials are necessary for the concrete foundation walls.
