"The owner, Jessen Williams, is a professional in his field and strives to provide the best service in a timely and affordable manner. His crew are the hardest working men and once they have finished the project they leave the property in superb condition. I have used another company many times and they donâ t even come close to the quality of work provided by American Tree Solutions. I should also mention that the pricing is more than fair and once your project is completed you will be so pleased that you will use American Tree Solutions in the future."

Customers say: True professional

"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!"

Customers say: Terrific value

"Very professional. I've never seen anyone take the time to clean up like they did! They made sure nothing was left behind. I've had tree work done in the past, and the tree guys have always left a big mound of things behind that I'd have to deal with.. but not these guys! Hands down, they are the best I've ever seen!!"

"I talked with several providers from Angi before deciding on JLs Turf Management. From removal of the old landscape through installation of the new plants everything went very smoothly. They were very easy to work with and made adjustments as I made changes during the process. Very satisfied with the results."

"I need to get more pictures but these guys did a great job. They flagged it and walked it with me. They helped me clear property line boundaries and created amazing shooting lanes at each stand spot. They arrive early and stay busy working and had machines that didn’t break down or get stuck like others have. I highly recommend these guys! Top notch for sure!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

A joint utility trench, or joint trench, is a long, buried ditch on a property that contains two or more utility lines rather than running the lines in multiple trenches. Some utilities, like gas and electric or electric and communication lines, are better suited to joint trenching, while others, like water and sewer, are not allowed to be in the same trench.

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.

The rules and regulations regarding groundwater use vary between states. To find out if you can dig a well on your property, you’ll have to consult these regulations, address any compliance requirements, and get the appropriate permits. It’s also important to check that your intended location has the right geology and water table to support a well.

Trenching is a specific kind of digging. Trenching means digging a depression in the earth that’s deeper than it is wide, often with heavy machinery. Digging refers to any kind of removal of earth in order to create a human-made depression, hole, or cut in the earth’s surface. You can dig with big tools or even with just a hand shovel.

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.
