"Hired Angus for clearing approximately one acre with a rock road to be laid down. , He gave a fair quote and began the work about a month later but within expected time frame. When he was done i was happy with the work he did and especially handling the removal of the material cleared. The road came out better then expected. He is professional and would recommend to anyone that needs work done. Price was reasonable and came in as quoted even gave him a bonus for doing good job. thank you, angus and southern site prep, i can use my land now. chris"

Contact us for a free estimate before you book lot clearing in Citrus Springs, FL.

"DO NOT RECOMMEND. ZERO STARS. Very unprofessional, rude, uncaring, low quality of work. Had apron and culvert done, cars are scraping as you go up or down the driveway. At least one wheel is completely off the ground when attempting to drive up the apron. NOT properly functional at all. When we requested for a specific type of culvert to avoid scraping vehicles driving over (as recommended by the county), we were not listened to and no follow up from Dana (the owner) to let us know what he was installing and how it was not what we were expecting. Dana did not address our concerns for the quality of work done on both culvert and apron, his only response to complaints are “have a nice day”. If you want good quality AND functionality, stay far away from this company. Land clearing for us also performed by this company had buried debris without our knowledge prior to doing this and was only discovered when we were visiting the property to see the progress. Very strange to see this as it was not part of the job as discussed whatsoever. The owners of the property have a right to know what is being done."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The rules for trenching and excavation include setting up and following safety protocols, learning how to use tools and machines properly, and ensuring there is a safe exit for all workers. Keep heavy equipment and materials away from the edge of the hole or trench. Call the 811 dig line before starting any excavation or trenching project to ensure you don’t hit any electrical or gas lines.

Water lines are buried at various depths, depending on the type of line. For example, most sprinkler lines are buried between four and 12 inches underground. On the other hand, water mains usually sit between one and 3 feet below ground. However, they can go even deeper in cold climates to prevent freezing.

Excavations take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time it takes to excavate an area depends on the size of the area, the type of soil, the type of excavator, and even the time of year, since winter can make digging up the ground more difficult.

If you’re planning to dig on your property, you’ll need to check for underground utility lines. Call the national call-before-you-dig 811 number. Once connected to an operator, you can schedule a site visit to mark underground lines. This way, you won’t accidentally dig into pipes and can cause major (read: costly) issues.

A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock.
