"My house came a non-functioning water feature in the backyard, installed by the previous owner. Over the years, I had always intended to remove it but kept putting it off and mowing around it. Fast forward to now and I am getting ready to sell the house, thinking I should finally get rid of that overgrown eyesore. Within minutes of submitting my project to Angi, Oasis Lawncare gave me a call. The next evening I had a very reasonably priced quote in hand for removing the water feature, plus additional curb appeal work. Four days before the work was scheduled to begin, we got two feet of snow -- one last mid-March storm to close out the winter. I thought for sure Oasis would request to delay, but nope: They came out on the scheduled day, worked through any remaining snow, and did a fantastic job. The job was completed on time and at the quoted price. So grateful to Oasis Lawncare's amazing crew. I would 100% hire them for any future landscaping projects."

We have a lot of equipment around our building and he is always very careful around our machines and our buildings. Any time we have an exterior project, Mike is the only one we call. 5 STARS every time!"

"I hired AP Excavating to expand our parking area with a stone pad. Additionally they excavated, prepped and dialed in a pad for our hot tub and sauna. They also installed a new drainage solution. Through the entire process Gus was super helpful in providing updates and communicating options and recommendations for various details. I’d highly recommend this contractor."

"Great team to work with. The job was done a day early and completed quickly. Three window wells replaced and grading done. Very nicely executed, the job site cleaned up, and all at a reasonable cost. Definitely recommend On Board Landscaping."

"I hired Austin from Clear View Land Management to create a gravel pad for my RV, fire pit and shed. He also leveled part of the lot and put down sod. Excellent communication, beautiful work, honest and hard-working. The work was done in a timely matter and done well for a reasonable fee. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience - thank you."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.

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.

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.

In the United States, a depth of 36 inches (three feet) for underground water lines is the accepted industry standard. This depth varies from location to location based on local conditions. In areas with colder winters, they may be buried deeper to prevent frozen well water pipes : This is usually at least six inches below the frost level. The International Plumbing Code calls for a minimum of 12 inches below grade.

It takes one hour to dig a 10-foot trench by hand. Use a trenching shovel with a sharp tip and a long head. Plan for more time if your soil is heavy or rocky. Consider renting a trencher if you’re digging a long or deep trench or if you have challenging soil or terrain.
