"The guys cleared a large tract of land for me opening up roads and green fields on some hunting property. They were very responsive and did great work. Property was night and day different when they were done. Before I could barely get a vehicle around the property. Now I can get my truck down the roads with room to spare. Very happy overall with work done."

"Communication was excellent. The final price, which was very reasonable and matched the estimate.
Joel came out to give an estimate and showed up exactly on time. He didn't try to sell us anything more than what we wanted removed. He contacted us quickly with an estimate that both my husband and I were very surprised to hear....almost thought there must be a catch involved or that the actual bill would be higher than the estimate.
Joel showed up on the agreed day and first thing in the morning with a full crew, at least 8 men, a huge truck with a lift, and a separate tractor for hauling away.   We had 3 huge trees which were far too close to the house removed plus several smaller ones and countless large branches cut back away from the roof and decking. 
Joel and his crew were right on time and very polite. Cleanup job was superb. Other than the missing trees and limbs, you would never know they were here.
I'm so pleased, that we will be calling him back when the budget allows to tackle the remaining giants which are too near the driveway. 
We would highly recommend Matthew and Jody's for any work needed and certain you won't find a more professional job at any price!!!
Thank you Joel for the super job!

I’ve been working in landscaping for 5-6 years with my father and he has more than 20 years of experience in landscaping. We are a family owned business and my father has worked for two landscaping companies and those companies are Montgomery landscaping and Golden Landscapes. We've done irrigation and drainage work in multiple locations in alabama, we also do trimming, mulch, and straw. We do work in Montgomery, Wetumpka, Prattville, Millbrook, Alabaster, and any other city in the state of Alabama. We are very well versed in trimming ,irrigation and drainage systems, and laying sod and installing shrubs, trees and flowers. We take pride in our work and we cater to every aspect of what the client asks of us and we always ask for the clients opinion of the project before we finish. I believe we should be hired because of are amazing work ethic and experience we have in doing landscaping and our top priority will be to satisfy all clients with any project they have for us to complete.

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Most states do not require excavation companies to hold specific licenses, but many require at least a contractor’s license. Additionally, heavy equipment operators require a special commercial equipment license to operate machinery required for excavation. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to confirm that an excavation company you’re considering hiring is fully licensed. You should also make sure that the excavation team is fully insured before allowing them to work on your property.

Depending on the severity of the freeze and the method used, thawing frozen underground pipes can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours. Applying heat directly to the pipe using heat tape, infrared lamps, or hot water jetting can speed up the process. However, patience and careful monitoring are key to avoiding pipe damage.

Preparation involves site assessment, clearing debris, grading surfaces, and compacting soil to support stable construction.

Hard soil could be a sign of overly dry dirt, either from poor drainage or drought. It's important to test the nutrient levels, density, and drainage capacity of your soil to see if it's absorbing water properly. Begin by adding a light layer of water and observing how long the soil retains moisture. If you experience a good deal of runoff, you may need to aerate your lawn, apply a wetting agent, or hire a professional for a closer look.

The cost to drill a well varies, with a national average of around $5,500 for a 150-foot well. However, prices can fluctuate significantly based on several factors, including your location, the required well depth, geological conditions, local regulations, and the specific drilling methods used. For the most accurate cost assessment, it is best to research and get quotes from local well-drilling professionals in your area.
