"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

Trenchers can dig holes as narrow as 4 inches or as wide as 4 feet. Check the specifications of the trencher you rent or buy to determine how wide it will cut into the landscape. Better yet, let the excavation company know how wide you’d like the trench to be, and they can help you choose the right trencher for the job (or do it for you).

It takes two to three hours to trench 100 feet with a mechanical trencher or 10 to 12 hours if digging with a shovel. The total time to dig a trench depends on the depth, width, soil type, terrain, trencher type, and your level of experience. Digging in clay or rocky soil takes longer than soft ground.  

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.

The best type of soil to build on is a mixture of sand and clay, known as loam soil. Loam soil has the best combination of these soil types to build a foundation on. The clay particles help with water retention, so it won’t erode like sandy soil might, and the sandy particles help with drainage, so you won’t see unsafe soil expansion or have an increased risk of leaks from water sitting against your foundation.

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.
