"Great work st a very fair price. Trimmed a hurricane damaged tree and removed a very large uprooted tree stump in a difficult location. Once arrived (a little late but thatâ s ok) they immediately started work and didnâ t stop until completed. Excellent work and amazing cleanup. Definitely recommend and wonâ t hesitate to hire again if needed."

Customers say: True professional

"Absolutely transformed my property in three days! It is amazing what can be accomplished by a skilled professional who knows the landscape and his equipment. Primarily underbrush clearing of invasive bushes and uncared for land (1.7 acres). I bought the property 7 months ago and thought it would be years for what Mark did in three days. *Based on other estimates who told me they'd need a full crew to do the same work which priced the project out of reach. Quality, terms, results. I will be hiring Grady's Services for future projects and recommend him to anyone."

Customers say: Quality work

"The cement work is very nice, but these guys are terrible at communicating, and they still have not done the expansion cuts, weeks later. If you want a good product and do not mind not knowing who is going to be doing what and when, then this company is for you."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

If you don’t have a crawl space but have a partial basement you want to make deeper, you can expect to spend a little less—between $40,000 and $90,000 on average. However, if you’re not adding new finished square footage, you won’t see much in the way of ROI.

Yes, you can excavate in the winter, but it might make the job harder. Frozen ground is harder to dig, and snow or ice can make the work site more hazardous. A contractor may need special equipment and techniques, such as ground-thawing methods, to break through frozen soil. Although winter excavation is possible, it may take longer and be more costly than excavating during warmer months.

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.

Most residential basements are 8 to 10 feet deep. You can dig deeper depending on building codes, but it does become more difficult. You’ll likely need to install stronger foundation walls and additional supports to handle the increased load. Depending on the water table, you may also need a water management system. Clay soil can support a deeper foundation than sandy soil. A structural engineer will be able to tell you the maximum, feasible depth.

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.
