"Jeremy reached out as soon as I had completed my general request for bids. He met with me that afternoon, reviewed the job, provided some professional input and gave me a quote. Had 2 large oak stumps ground down along with a couple of smaller stumps and all within a couple of hours. The work area was cleaned up before he left. Jeremy is very courteous, knowledgeable and professional. His company will be the first I call for future landscaping needs."

"I recently moved from the northeast area to central Florida. And doing so was a big effort for us. We bought a wonderful older home but in order to make it "ours", we wanted to do a number of internal and external renovations, and quickly. From the moment I first met Jermaine I knew he was the right person for us. Jermaine's professionalism, construction knowledge, patience, planning and organizational skills, and friendly caring personality won me over. Throughout the entire 5 months long daily renovation Jermaine and his crew stayed on target and absorbed numerous add-ons without hesitation or concern. The quality was always good and pricing was always fair and reasonable. Time and time again Jermaine and his team went above and beyond what anyone would expect. I still cannot believe the amount of renovations that were done in only 5 months. It is truly amazing! The final results gave us the beautiful, comfortable home we were seeking here in FL! THANK YOU Jermaine!! Al B."

"We loved the beautiful job LAS did removing old bushes and re landscaping the front yard. They were reliable, polite, no hidden costs, and economical. They built a beautiful stone wall and filled it in with beautiful rock stones and plants. We would definitely use them again and highly recommend."

"I had Florida Cut Above remove two Roebelenii Palms, and two queen palms from my property. Josh and his crew were very polite and professional, and showed up when they said they would. They were able to rip up the Roebelenii Palms, and I opted to have the queen palm stumps ground down so I could replant the area. They did an excellent job, and I will definitely be contacting them again when I need work done on my palm or oak trees."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

To locate an underground downspout, you should start by identifying where the above ground gutter drains. Look for an entry point, such as a pipe or elbow leading into the ground. Follow the surface path for signs like depressions, landscaping disruptions, or wet areas after rain. You can use a metal detector or plumber’s snake to trace the pipe underground. For deeper pipes, a professional locator tool or camera inspection may be necessary. Visual markers or utility maps can also guide the search.

The average cost for pool excavation is $2,500. This cost can range from $450 to $4,500, depending on the pool shape and size, time of year, and any need to move buried utilities. 

When excavating for your pool, you might have to move existing utilities. You can expect to pay an additional $15 to $25 per linear foot to move gas lines. To move a septic system, it’ll cost an additional $2,000 to $20,000. A pool that is 10 feet by 12 feet averages $450 to excavate, and a 20-foot-by-40-foot pool averages $3,020.

Consultation with the local government helps identify necessary permits, avoid project delays or legal issues, and protect project integrity.

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.

It takes one hour to dig a 10-foot trench by hand. Use a trenching shovel with a sharp tip and a long head. Plan for more time if your soil is heavy or rocky. Consider renting a trencher if you’re digging a long or deep trench or if you have challenging soil or terrain.
