"I was very satisfied with the service provided. I felt the individuals involved were very professional and pleasant to deal with. They came to site and provided a thorough estimate on paper before starting project. They communicated by internet with photos to keep me informed of progress of project. They returned phone calls promptly. They cleaned up area nicely and planted grass seed when project was complete. They obviously make an effort to keep customers happy."

"Aaron arrived when he said he would. We walked the property site and discussed what I needed done. He went right to work. He was mindful of the neighbors property lines and was careful not to disturb the area. My job was small, filling in a hole left by a 30 foot round pool. I didn't expect any additional landscaping because of the price we agreed on before he started, however Aaron went above and beyond and not only smoothed out the area but feathered out and blended the surrounding terrain. He did 100 percent more than I expected. Actually the area looks better than before we put the pool in. Aaron portrayed a keen seance of professionalism and attention to detail. I would highly recommend A&R Landscaping for your excavation, Landscaping needs."

"Customer service was top notch- we started with a 4 acre wooded lot and we had started clearing it ourselves and had many stumps and some more trees to take down. They gave an estimate via photos and email since job site was over an hour away which worked great. Worked til job was finished and did so in a timely manner. We also added clearing a new driveway after the fact and did amazing job. Great communication - would definitely hire again and give referral. Photos are Before and afters."

"Musson was very professional, prompt, and exceeded my expectations! I couldn't be happier with the job they did from start to finish. They gave me an accurate estimate, provided excellent suggestions and ideas, and couldn't have been nicer throughout the entire transaction. I'm already planning to hire them back next year for additional improvements! Top notch company!"

"I needed some work done on a fusebox. The electrician arrived in a timely manner. He was very nice, helpful, professional, and actually did some other stuff I needed done, but was afraid to ask about because I wasn't sure I could afford it. I would call again for service in a heartbeat!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Trenching is a specific kind of digging. Trenching means digging a depression in the earth that’s deeper than it is wide, often with heavy machinery. Digging refers to any kind of removal of earth in order to create a human-made depression, hole, or cut in the earth’s surface. You can dig with big tools or even with just a hand shovel.

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.

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.

No, a ditch isn’t a trench. A ditch is an open, relatively shallow channel that’s carved out of the ground and used for drainage purposes. In contrast, a trench is a deeper excavation that’s entirely underground. Trenches have many uses, including gas lines, sewage systems, and electrical wiring. Unlike trenches, ditches don’t get filled back in with dirt after they’re dug.

You do not have to dig footers for a deck as long as it meets local code and holds up to weather in your area. If you live somewhere that experiences high winds and earthquakes, you may need to dig for your deck posts. Deck blocks, post anchors with base plates, and helical pile systems are the three no-dig deck post options you can choose from if local code permits.
