"Our neighbor called for trash removal. He came right away on a Sunday. While he was there we asked him to come following Saturday to our house so we would have more time to get stuff up. He called the night before and confirmed. He showed up exactly what time we told him to. Super nice guy and very professional. Highly recommend!"

"George with Strickland Landscaping and Irrigation was extremely easy to work with and accommodating for my project. They did a great job forming handicap ramps for the front and side door of my business, in addition to placing the bollards and a little concrete work on the inside of the building. I look forward to working with them on additional projects in the future."

"Courteous, task oriented, worked safely, respected our property. Cut down a 50 plus foot lightning struck pine and several large limbs over the driveway. Took extra time to shape the area over the driveway. Will definately hire them again for future tree removal."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

Downspouts should be buried at least 5 to 10 feet away from your foundation. This can vary depending on your local building codes, soil type, and property slope. The main goal is to ensure water is directed away from your foundation.

There are many ways to cut through roots when digging, especially if your trencher doesn’t seem to be removing the roots. First, use a shovel to expose the roots. Then, use gardening shears to clear out smaller roots or a reciprocating saw to remove larger plant roots. If you plan on keeping the plant, avoid cutting any roots over 2 inches thick.

There is no standard depth for burying a septic tank; they are typically buried anywhere from 4 inches to 4 feet underground. The final depth depends on several factors, including the depth of your main sewer line, the height of the bedrock, soil type, local regulations, and the property's landscape. If you plan to grow grass or plants over the tank, a depth of at least 4 to 6 inches is recommended. Deeper tanks can be more difficult to locate, but a septic professional can help find it for you.

A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock.

Excavation and grading are both generally necessary for designing your foundation, and leveling the ground where your foundation will go. These steps can also prepare the area by removing vegetation and anything else that could interfere with your home’s foundation.
