"I was very impressed with the work. They are a crew of go-getters. They arrive early in the morning and immediately got busy. They took down 4 fairly large trees and did all the clean up in a day and 1/2. The price was very reasonable and they were careful with the property around the task at hand. I will definitely use them again."

"Karl and Mercy Land came out and took service to the next level. They were very helpful in explaining the correct way to go about clearing my land and properly getting rid of running bamboo we had on family land. Now we can enjoy this greenfield for hunting season! Thank you, will call again when needing more service"

"They grated my drive to smooth out the ruts. And cut ditches to divert water from washing it out again. Then they brought out gravel and spread it on the driveway they even put gravel on my extra parking area. I will be using C&K Dirt Works in the future. They were very professional and did an excellent job."

"Harris Landworks removed grown up shrubs and moved large rock landscaping from backyard, making it more manageable for me to mow up to the house. I am very pleased with the professional way this work was done. The cost was very reasonable also."

I’ve been doing tree and skid steer work for about 20 years, customer satisfaction is my goal. The job is not complete until you, the customer, are happy. I am a perfectionist, I like and want stuff done right! I am willing to travel almost anywhere within the state. I am highly efficient in a skid steer and working out of a bucket truck..

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Professional installers often include a deep layer of crushed gravel under permeable pavers to allow more runoff to soak through into the soil below. Many installations will include multiple layers of gravel, with coarser aggregate at the base and finer aggregate that sits on top of that bottom layer. Above the gravel, you’ll often find coarse sand that helps reduce paver shifting over time. Some permeable paver designs include a water collection system set into the gravel layer to route runoff to a safe area for disposal.

Hardscaping often requires preparation of the ground in the area where the feature is being installed. This can include digging, compacting, and leveling the soil, ensuring adequate drainage, and removing any existing plants. The extent of preparation needed will depend on the type and size of the hardscaping feature being installed.

A perc test can take anywhere from one to eight hours to complete. The total time depends on factors like the amount of excavation required, the depth and width of the holes, and whether multiple test holes are needed. For a single hole, the process of filling it with water and monitoring the drainage rate usually takes less than an hour. Professionals can often complete the entire test in a single day. While it's possible to get results the same day, some companies may take a few days to provide the official report.

The best method for digging a trench depends on the scope of the project. For a short, shallow trench (less than 2 feet deep) in light, soft soil, digging by hand may be sufficient. However, digging by hand is labor-intensive, so consider the effort required. A machine trencher is the better option for longer trenches (over 100 feet), deeper ones, or when dealing with difficult soil conditions, such as rocky or hard ground, or obstructions like tree roots. A machine can save significant time and energy in these situations.

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.
