"This company did an outstanding job with removing my old landscape and remodeling it with a modern and low maintenance style. They were worth every penny I spent. I had several estimates and I choose this company due to their overall professional advice and pleasant personality when I met them. When they completed the job, I was stunned!! I would recommend them to everyone I know that wants a great outdoor look while working with such great staff. They accommodated everything I desired for the outcome for my landscape. Thank you for such great service and excellent work!!"

"Great work at a great price. They did what we agreed on and hauled everything away and cleaned everything up. I asked them if they could do some more tree trimming. They gave me another great price for the additional work I requested and they finished that work also. It took them 2 days to remove 2 large cedar trees between two houses and no damage. Not an easy job. I would deffinetly hire them again."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

A walk-behind trencher can cut through roots as long as they’re not too thick, making a project much easier than digging with a shovel and other hand tools. Assess your terrain and the number of trees in the surrounding area to determine if a walk-behind trencher will ease the job. Digging a trench by hand is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive. 

Hard soil could be a sign of overly dry dirt, either from poor drainage or drought. It's important to test the nutrient levels, density, and drainage capacity of your soil to see if it's absorbing water properly. Begin by adding a light layer of water and observing how long the soil retains moisture. If you experience a good deal of runoff, you may need to aerate your lawn, apply a wetting agent, or hire a professional for a closer look.

No, a ditch isn’t a trench. A ditch is an open, relatively shallow channel that’s carved out of the ground and used for drainage purposes. In contrast, a trench is a deeper excavation that’s entirely underground. Trenches have many uses, including gas lines, sewage systems, and electrical wiring. Unlike trenches, ditches don’t get filled back in with dirt after they’re dug.

Dumpsters work best on hard, study, and level surfaces made of asphalt, stone, or concrete. If the surface is uneven or too soft, the dumpster could get stuck or tip over when filled. Keep in mind that you must obtain a dumpster permit to keep it on a city street in many areas.

A perc test can take anywhere from one to eight hours to complete. The total time depends on factors like the amount of excavation required, the depth and width of the holes, and whether multiple test holes are needed. For a single hole, the process of filling it with water and monitoring the drainage rate usually takes less than an hour. Professionals can often complete the entire test in a single day. While it's possible to get results the same day, some companies may take a few days to provide the official report.
