Your outdoor space deserves the same care and attention as your home, and that's exactly what I strive to deliver. As the owner of a locally operated landscaping company, I've spent the last three years helping homeowners create and maintain beautiful, healthy landscapes they can be proud of.\nMy experience didn't start when I opened my business. Before moving to Florida, I spent two years helping manage my stepfather's established landscaping company in Arkansas, where I learned the importance of quality workmanship, dependable service, and treating every customer's property with respect.\nToday, I bring that same work ethic to every project, whether it's routine lawn maintenance, landscape enhancements, mulch installation, shrub trimming, cleanups, or a complete yard transformation. I believe in honesty, fair pricing, and doing the job right the first time.\nWhen you hire my company, you're choosing someone who takes pride in every project and works to exceed expectations.\n\n

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Professional installers often include a deep layer of crushed gravel under permeable pavers to allow more runoff to soak through into the soil below. Many installations will include multiple layers of gravel, with coarser aggregate at the base and finer aggregate that sits on top of that bottom layer. Above the gravel, you’ll often find coarse sand that helps reduce paver shifting over time. Some permeable paver designs include a water collection system set into the gravel layer to route runoff to a safe area for disposal.

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.

Excavation and grading are both generally necessary for designing your foundation, and leveling the ground where your foundation will go. These steps can also prepare the area by removing vegetation and anything else that could interfere with your home’s foundation.

The digging depth will depend on the size of the trencher you use. Even smaller units can dig up to 4 feet deep, which is plenty for a DIY job. However, much larger trenchers can reach a depth of 18 feet and are better used by a team of pro contractors, not a single DIYer. As with all home improvement projects, use the right tool for the job and proceed with caution.

There are many ways to cut through roots when digging, especially if your trencher doesn’t seem to be removing the roots. First, use a shovel to expose the roots. Then, use gardening shears to clear out smaller roots or a reciprocating saw to remove larger plant roots. If you plan on keeping the plant, avoid cutting any roots over 2 inches thick.
