"George Brown and his team are the best tree removal crew we've ever hired. We were already huge fans of George because we were customers of his former lawn service business for years. It was hard saying goodbye to George in his lawncare capacity back a few years ago as he was truly the best and we really liked who he was as a person as well. We needed some very large trees removed from very close to the house recently and knew that George was the one to call. WOW, George and his crew did an incredible job!! They’ve got all the right heavy equipment and highly skilled staff who work in sync with one another in the process. They're the most efficient, skilled tree removal specialists we’ve ever hired and George truly goes the extra mile for his customers. All the “fallout” debris was cleaned up and hauled off afterward, the stumps were ground and the area around where they did the work was leveled and just beautiful. George is a man of integrity and kindness with an unparalleled work ethic. He’s found that in the staff he’s hired to work for him as well. George’s price is right, too! Someone you can trust to do the job right, all the way around!"

"It is hard to find good help but when you do it is absolutely necessary to complement them and also refer them to others. I hired Ascend Property Services to complete multiple jobs this summer. They removed and installed flooring (LVP), painted interior and exterior of house, pressure washed and completed multiple handyman jobs in multiple houses. I have never been more pleased with hired help. My contractor is Ryan Hardy and he will provide you with timely professional service. His exceptional performance is by far the best I have ever experienced over the past few decades. Please give him a call for your next project. You will be very pleased with the results."

"Hurricane Helene knocked down 2 old oaks right beside my house. The oaks pulled down the electrical wires and covered them on the ground. I went to Angi to find a yard service to clean up the mess. Mike from Jarhead's called almost immediately. Two hours later he showed up and gave me a quote I thought was extremely fair. He even agreed to come the next morning. He arrived when he said he would and started immediately cutting the trees. He had no help, it was Sunday, so he did everything himself. He also loaded everything onto my fire. Mike was professional and courteous.The price was extremely agreeable. He did not stop working until he finished the job. I highly recommend Jarhead's and I will be calling them for more tree removal. They also do a lot of other outside projects"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

A mini excavator can dig between 5 and 11 feet deep, depending on the type and size of the mini excavator. Mini hydraulic excavators are more powerful and can reach deeper into the earth, but electric models have a more limited range. Mini excavators over two tons in size are also more powerful and able to dig as deep as 11 feet.

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.

Excavation is priced in cubic yards, so you’ll need to find the volume of the area in order to calculate costs. Multiply the length, width, and proposed depth of your excavation site, then convert it into yards to get the volume. Multiply this figure by the price per cubic yard.

Most homeowners can measure by hand to get a rough estimate, even if it’s tedious. You may want to pull out a tape measure or use a string to help mark the area.

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even for projects that only involve grading or yard leveling. Permit requirements depend on your local government and the scope of the project, but they are especially common for significant digging or work that could affect utilities or public property. These permits help protect the local topography and prevent drainage issues. An experienced excavation company will typically know whether permits are needed and can often handle the process of pulling and closing them for you. You can also verify permit requirements by contacting your local building department and describing your project.

While general contractors sometimes handle demolition, you can also look specifically for local demolition contractors. Demolition experts need to understand structural integrity, the equipment needed for safe demolition, and the permits required for demolition.
