El Monte questions

Do you actually serve El Monte from Simi Valley?

Yes — El Monte is 45–75 minutes, traffic depending. Site visits and written quotes are free, and we're honest if a job is too small to justify the mobilization.

My side yard is narrow — is that a problem?

Almost never. Compact excavators handle 5–6 foot gates, and the access guide on this site explains every tier down to crane digs.
