"We’re beyond grateful for Lance and the incredible team at LRN Services. They transformed our one-acre lot—removing dense, overgrown azalea bushes and several trees, hauling in fresh dirt, and meticulously raking and leveling the entire area to prepare it for sod. The quality of their work was outstanding, and the pricing was more than fair. But what truly sets Lance apart is his genuine care and commitment to your project—he treats it like it’s his own. We wouldn’t hesitate to hire LRN Services again, and we wholeheartedly recommend them for any land clearing or property prep you have in mind."

"Fabulous experience with this highly qualified contractor. He is the fix all go-to person. We are real estate agents who handle many properties. This job was replacing large tiles on floor, painting, carpentry work and minor interior repairs. All done professionally in a quick timely manner."

"It’s really great to find someone who you can trust do do excellent work even when you aren’t there. We are part timers down south and needed landscaping services. Warrior Outdoor was referred to us and I am thrilled that they were. Fantastic communication (including texting me photos of the finished job), very fair pricing, and very professional. I really couldn’t be happier and would highly recommend Warrior Outdoor to anyone looking for a quality landscape company."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

Trenches are typically 12 to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, the required depth depends on the specific project and local ordinances. For example, a French drain may need to be 18 inches deep, while a water pipe might require a depth of 24 inches and a drainage pipe 36 inches. Your city or county may have specific regulations, so it's wise to consult with an excavation professional to determine the correct depth for your project.

It’s possible to transplant trees as tall as 50 feet when an experienced tree planting service uses the right equipment. However, a tree with a trunk larger than two or three inches in diameter needs to be handled by a professional in order to yield successful transplanting results. Consulting a tree planting professional is the best way to tell if your large tree can be safely transplanted.

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.

Yes, most services include site leveling and foundation work. Confirm with your contractor for specifics.
