"I hired Ken Mathis to clean, resand and apply a sealant to the pavers on our pool deck. A previous company had done a horrible job and had left our patio a mess. Ken and his crew went above and beyond to remove the old sealant, clean it all up and apply a new sealant. Our pavers look like new and we couldn’t be happier with the results. The crew worked hard, were professional and courteous . I highly recommend this company."

"WildGray is by far the best and most dependable clearing company in the area. Iâ ve hired several local companies for different clearing projects in Baldwin County and Jerrod is far and away the most efficient and reliable. Heâ s worth every penny. Iâ ll certainly be using him again."

"I requested Robert look at what i wanted - steps on either side of my back deck to go down my sloped yard. Next thing I know we are at the Big Box store getting the needed materials…. He’s a git-R-done kind of guy. Next thing I know my problem area is more accessable. Granted, mine was a very small project, but he stayed on the project until it was a done deal. I recommend you give him an opportunity to help you on your next project."

"Josh, the owner was great to work with. Was very reliable both with his texts, returned phone calls and when showing up when he said he would. His work was great. His price was very good. We would definitely call on him again if we need more concrete work done!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

You do not have to dig footers for a deck as long as it meets local code and holds up to weather in your area. If you live somewhere that experiences high winds and earthquakes, you may need to dig for your deck posts. Deck blocks, post anchors with base plates, and helical pile systems are the three no-dig deck post options you can choose from if local code permits.

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.

Yes. A metal detector is one of the quickest and easiest ways to find your septic tank. However, metal detectors can be too expensive (costing upward of $300 in some cases), and not everyone has a metal detector just lying around. If that’s the case for you, you can also take a long metal rod and poke it into the ground at regular intervals until you hit something—likely your septic tank lid.

Yes, most services include site leveling and foundation work. Confirm with your contractor for specifics.

Yes, you can excavate in the winter, but it might make the job harder. Frozen ground is harder to dig, and snow or ice can make the work site more hazardous. A contractor may need special equipment and techniques, such as ground-thawing methods, to break through frozen soil. Although winter excavation is possible, it may take longer and be more costly than excavating during warmer months.
