"In addition to trimming trees and shrubs and placing hardwood mulch in all the beds, they laid a stone patio between the house and garage that turned out to be a beautiful installation. You want to see some really good equipment well used, hire these folks and enjoy your new view, I certainly do."

"We had an area (approx. 5 acres +/-) that needed to be cleared. It was really overgrown with grapevine, thorn bushes, smaller trees and Johnson grass. (it was over 5 feet tall at the time). Normally we would brush hog it but it is in a low lying area so there was a lot of debris! Austin came out and cleared it and had it all piled up for us to burn within two days! The cost was reasonable and well worth it! He was friendly and professional and I would definitely hire him again! Thanks Jones Quality Construction! I look forward to working with you again!!"

"Dan was very professional! He dug out my old septic tank and installed a new tank very quickly. My home was in escrow and time was critical. He also removed a door that was not opening or closing properly, reworked the frame and reinstalled the door. He also repaired a roof leak. Very versatile, an all around good general contractor."

"Work went really well, I asked for some things that were a lil outside the box such as the niche across the entirety of shower and some countertops that were new to them.. they took the time to research and implement, i was very happy with the results.. the thing i think i can appreciate the most though is that when the job called for 1 guy there was 2 guys and when it called for more there was 5 guys, bathrooms were done on time.. it wasn’t 1 guy taking 8 weeks to remodel 2 bathrooms"

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

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.

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.

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.

Errors in site preparation can lead to structural failures or appear costly midway. Professionals ensure detailed, reliable home base development layouts.

Septic drain lines (or leach lines) are typically buried between 18 and 36 inches underground, and should be at least 6 inches below the surface. These pipes are perforated and surrounded by filtering materials like sand or gravel. Burying the lines at this depth helps minimize odors and allows bacteria and other biological processes in the soil to effectively treat the wastewater. Burying lines too close to the surface can cause issues unless the soil is very compact and stable.
