"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"

"Excellent contractor . Will never use any other but them. They had ethics and provided a detailed explanation of the work they would be performing. They lived up to my expectations. My driveway looks great and other repairs that were done exceeded my expectations . Can’t say enough good about this company! The work was done in the timeframe they specified. They did what they said they would do and did it when they said they would as well. Again, they will remain my contractor going forward for any future needs."

"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

Prior to excavation, you should prepare the dig site and call 311 before you sign anything.

To get your site ready for excavation, you should move anything in the area that isn’t affixed to the land. You can save money on the excavation by removing hardscaping, including walkways, decks, concrete patios, and paver patios.

Before you carry out any digging, you should call 311 to confirm that there are no utility lines running through your excavation site. Skipping this step could lead to severe injury and property damage if your excavator hits a water, sewage, or gas line.

Digging a bush up by the roots is the most natural DIY method for removing a bush stump. Start by identifying the shrub type and revealing its roots. Cut the shrub to its base and loosen the soil, ensuring no utility lines are nearby. Optionally, treat the base with herbicide, then dig around the roots and cut a circle around the shrub using various tools. Dig a trench, cut the base of the root ball, and finally fill the hole to prevent regrowth. This thorough process ensures complete removal without damaging surrounding areas.

No, a ditch isn’t a trench. A ditch is an open, relatively shallow channel that’s carved out of the ground and used for drainage purposes. In contrast, a trench is a deeper excavation that’s entirely underground. Trenches have many uses, including gas lines, sewage systems, and electrical wiring. Unlike trenches, ditches don’t get filled back in with dirt after they’re dug.

You can bury underground electrical wire six inches deep—but only if you use a rigid metal electrical conduit. For rigid, non-metallic conduits, bury the wire at least 12 inches deep. If using an underground feeder cable rated for direct burial, you'll need to place it at least 18 inches deep, as it has no conduit for extra protection.

Maintain open communication and address issues as they arise, ensuring contract terms cover potential delays.
