"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

After you successfully remove your boulder, you have a few options for what to do to get rid of it. You can rent a dumpster if your yard has many boulders or if you’re planning a larger project. You can even save the boulder and reuse it elsewhere on your property to save on landscaping costs. A few ideas include using the boulder as a natural, abstract statue, breaking it into smaller pieces to line your garden bed, or offering it to a landscaping company that could reuse it for another project.

There are several different factors that influence how long it takes to excavate. For a foundation, it could take anywhere from three days to three weeks. It can take even longer if you face weather-related delays or an inaccessible site that’s riddled with boulders and rough terrain. It may also take longer if you have clay soil, which is more difficult to dig.

No, fire blight does not survive free in the soil but instead is carried through insects, animals, rain, or wind during the spring. Keep in mind that it can also spread on tools, which is why you should always disinfect them in between cuts.

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.

Consultation with the local government helps identify necessary permits, avoid project delays or legal issues, and protect project integrity.
