Customers say: Super punctual

"Wow! Jeremy & his crew did an EXCEPTIONAL job clearing our site. There were trees, shrubs, random junk, large areas of cement and even sections with slabs of concrete half a foot thick and they just handled it all! Their pricing was reasonable, the scheduling was fast & convenient, and we could not be happier with the outcome. They left a very clean site behind. They are true pros. We will tell everyone we know about Conway Land Clearing & Site Prep!"

"Charles was awesome! Called me the same day I inquired and was able to give a good ballpark quote when I explained the scope of work. He even coordinated the dirt dump for us. He and his team did a very professional job leveling the ground for a large above ground pool. I was extremely pleased with the work and with the quick replies to my inquiries for scheduling the work. Hands down, I would call him again! Thank you so much!"

"I had a great experience dealing with Site Prep when they removed my rotting fence and replaced it with a double-sided cedar fence along my side yard. The fence was built beautifully and they worked very hard to get the project done on time. They also built two substantial gates for me. I would not hesitate to recommend Site Prep!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Digging out a basement takes anywhere from a few days to a few months. Most projects take at least two to five weeks, but it could take several months if you encounter obstacles. This project takes longer if you need to brace or raise your home before the excavation. Digging out a basement in new construction can take as little as three days.

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.

The best method for digging a trench depends on the scope of the project. For a short, shallow trench (less than 2 feet deep) in light, soft soil, digging by hand may be sufficient. However, digging by hand is labor-intensive, so consider the effort required. A machine trencher is the better option for longer trenches (over 100 feet), deeper ones, or when dealing with difficult soil conditions, such as rocky or hard ground, or obstructions like tree roots. A machine can save significant time and energy in these situations.

How deep your septic system needs to be into the ground depends on several factors. In extremely cold environments, the tank needs to rest below the maximum frost line, which can be up to six or eight feet deep. The standard burying depth for most systems is between a few inches and four feet below ground level. Depth can also depend on the slope of the landscaping and other property variables. 

Underground downspouts refer to the sections of downspout extensions that lead away from your home and gutter system. While they cost more than traditional extensions, they can provide several benefits, such as less frequent damage and no need to move them for lawn care tasks. Whether they're worth it or not depends on your budget at installation time and how much convenience they'll add to your situation.
