LES BROWN EXCAVATING Les Brown, who has owned his own excavating business since 1971 always finds Yes, he does his fair share of digging for housing and commercial building foundations.Sanitary sewer hook-ups and general backhoe excavating. But did you know he's also a licensed septic system designer and installer. Over the years a lot has changed with the new technologies for septic system installations. "| Where years before a home renovation may have been halted because there was -no room on smaller lots to expand or upgrade the septic system, they can now have smaller footprints allotted for secondary treatment systems with less setbacks in'locations such as lakefront properties. So, if years ago, you were told you couldn't add on to your present home or a holding tank was your only option, it Les Brown Excavating also deals with required repairs to your current septic system, foundation waterproofing, water damage clean-up, trenching, driveways and swimming pool excavation for residential, commercial or industrial needs. If you've always wanted to expand on your dream home, it might be worth revisiting the new innovations and latest technological advances in septic system installations.

That's the time to call in D'Arcy Milligan of Durham Tree Movers. For the last 12 years, he's been relocating every species of tree imaginable that got in the way of someone's plans. Or for that matter, "that was in" the bigger plan, such as in the building of golf courses, design plans of country estates and down-to-the-earth smaller projects for residential additions, pools and driveways. While their equipment may not be small, Durham Tree Movers can gently extract and transplant trees from 2" to 10" calipers using one of four different spades, sized to fit the job. All they require is enough space to manoeuvre their trucks. Big jobs or small, they serve all of Durham & York Region areas. This year, Mr Milligan is also offering a FREE supply of larger evergreens, up to 20' in height for just the cost of planting these gifts from Mother Nature. So think twice before you contract that guy with a chainsaw. You may be able to relocate that tree, save the natural habitat for the birds and save some cool shade and privacy for yourself. Contact D'Arcy Milligan Durham Tree Movers at (905) 1 431-5525 or locally at (905) 985-4381.
