"I just purchased a home that had a canal that runs straight through my property. In order to get to the other side I needed a culvert put it in. I found Travis online and he was responsive and straight forward. Communication was excellent and he did extra things for me such as deliver gravel for me because I had asked him about it. Such a great guy! Would definitely hire him again! And price was fair! Thanks Travis!"

"These guys were fantastic, from when Mark first came out to meet with me till even after the job was done and paid for. They did it all, excavating, large retaining walls, sprinklers, sod, concrete, hooking up an old waterfall, fences and a very custom gate. Very easy to work with, all my neighbors complement the yard. I went from the worst yard in the neighborhood to what I believe to be the nicest but I m a little biased. I told Mark what I wanted and he gave me some options on what I could do, I couldn t be happier with the job."

"I recently hired this landscaping team for minor grading and resloping work, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the initial consultation to the final walkthrough, they were professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly detail-oriented. They took the time to assess the drainage issues on my property and clearly explained how regrading and adjusting the slope would help prevent water pooling. The work was completed efficiently, and the difference is night and day—no more standing water, and the yard looks clean, level, and well-finished. What really stood out was their attention to detail and pride in their work. They made sure everything was properly sloped, compacted, and blended seamlessly with the rest of the landscape. They also left the area spotless when they were done. If you need grading, resloping, or general landscaping work, I highly recommend this team. Honest, reliable, and top-quality results all around"

"If you want to hire a company that will communicate with you, show up and work very hard to make your dreams come true, hire Jaime Hernandez of Maranata Landscaping Inc. Jaime and his crew did a top notch job in renovating our backyard. Our backyard is huge. It needed a total gut job and what we wanted and received was a beautiful and gorgeous drought tolerant backyard! Jaime has a keen eye when it comes to laying out the backyard with drought tolerant plants, bender board, pebbles, slate, river rock and bark plus the added benefit of Jaime asking us if we wanted certain things that we hadn't even thought about like accent lighting in our backyard. Yes, we do! I can't sing enough praises about Jaime and his crew! They were so easy to work with, so very trustworthy, always cleaned up after themselves, and I could go on and on. If you hire them, trust me, you will not be sorry. I am a very satisfied customer."

"Apiece from the rising costs of repairs, and rebuilding, Greystone did a great job of rebuilding our fence, and helping the drainage, in record time! Took less than a week for either repair to be scheduled and repaired! Couldnâ t have asked for nicer guys! New gate and all work great! Drains are so good, that they are clearing more water than ever! Thanks Greystone!"

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

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

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.

A walk-behind trencher can cut through roots as long as they’re not too thick, making a project much easier than digging with a shovel and other hand tools. Assess your terrain and the number of trees in the surrounding area to determine if a walk-behind trencher will ease the job. Digging a trench by hand is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive. 

Because decomposed granite is a durable material, a crushed rock or gravel base is optional as long as the DG is properly installed and compacted. However, installing a base is a good idea because it will ensure proper drainage and stability and act as a weed suppressant (although you may still occasionally have to pull weeds). Installing an adequate base can also increase the durability of driveways and walkways. If you forego the paver base or gravel underneath, line the area with landscaping fabric to avoid weeds.

Yes, an excavation company is the best option for land grading and yard leveling. General landscapers might be able to tackle these projects, but an excavation company will do a better job because they’re used to operating the necessary heavy machinery. Landscapers might opt to do the work manually, which takes much longer and could cost you more in labor fees. Finally, excavation companies will understand local regulations and know when you need permits to legalize the work, while a landscaper might not.
