the deck





the problem






plastic coated wire dug in and fastened, the use of a tarp to place your dirt on is a real time saver when doing this sort of thing make getting the dirt back in the hole and not all over the customers grass much easier , we also did our best to remove and save as much sod as possible and rplaced it along with top dressing with gras seed to help fill it back in

A+

Very Nice Job!

Do you charge per foot or per job?

We always charge "per foot" and price varies based on what ground is made up of (rock/mulch/grass) and any obstacles (bushes/plants/flowers)

very nice... thats the place on decks... i tell all my customers who have under deck troubles this is the way to go. thanks for postin the pics

I usually install treated wood over the wire

Nice job. The only problem with underground exclusions - much like attic clean ups - is no matter what the bid when about half done I always feel as if I should of doubled the bid.

Charles, truer words were never spoken!

I've had the "double the bid manuever" back fire on me more than once. End up with jobs I really did not want to do.

Just need to find some kids that need money . I use the 1/2 wire . Aslong as there not to many roots it goes fast . Some are just a nightmare . What's the best way to attach it to the brick ?

Drill and tap with lead/pin attachments with a washer on the face to hold the wire.

Here is one we ran into last week where we had to use Tap-Cons to anchor the wire securely. The wire is 1" X 1" GAW ,18 inches deep, and 6 inch bend. Never had an animal go under it, but you have to be sure and secure the corners well or they will beat you there.

In this economy plenty of well qualified people lining up to dig a trench.
