"These guys are responsive and professional. They delivered above and beyond what I expected. They didn’t just take care of the job I called them about. They also surveyed my property and let me know that I had a tree in the alley that had grown up through wires (no wonder our tv is so sketchy. I am delighted with their attention to detail and super happy with the value received. Will absolutely call them again the next time I need tree trimming or storm clean-up."

"Jerry exceeded expectations. I had read previous reviews from past clients and they all turned out to be spot on! Jerry is meticulous in his work, timely, communicative, and professional. Jerry clearly has a strong work ethic, is very easy to converse with, and operates with integrity. I'm delighted with the final product and would hire Swiftcreek landscaping again in a heartbeat. Jerry and his loyal crew were a breath of fresh air and a pleasure to work with throughout."

"After our home burned down we found Grand Lake Excavating to do our clean up and demo. They were great! Mike and his team handled everything with our insurance company and we couldn’t be happier. I would highly recommend them and look forward to working with them on the construction of our new house."

"Highly recommend Upslope for your next excavation project. Working with Sarah and Fritz was a very pleasant and great experience. Fritz came out to my home to assess and provide an estimate for the project I wanted to get done and about a week later he was here. To say Fritz is a hard worker and incisive would be an understatement. We were having some water drainage issues from snowmelt and heavier spring/summer rains that was washing out our driveway and causing other minor flooding problems. Fritz knew exactly what to do to fix our problem and his work withstood 1.5" of rainfall the next day. He also graded our driveway in preparation for blacktopping later this year. Thank you, Upslope!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The physical constraints of hand-drilling a well limit the depth you can achieve. Manually digging with picks and shovels may only lead to shallow wells of up to 60 feet in depth. To reach greater depths, you need more specialized equipment. The diameter of your well and the tools you’re using will determine how far down you can dig.

Concrete blocks are the cheapest way to base a shed. However, the space in between allows critters to go under, burrow, and even damage your shed’s frame. For a more pest-proof option, consider building a shed base with gravel or paver stones. Both options are fairly affordable and easy enough for a DIY project. For gravel, you can build a wooden frame to contain the loose material.

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.

Yes, chipmunk holes may have two or more entrances. Chipmunks can create an entire network of burrows. Having multiple entrances makes it easier for them when trying to escape from a predator, such as a snake, or if an entrance collapses due to flooding. Each entrance leads to the nesting chamber underground, which is where the chipmunk spends the majority of its time sleeping.

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