"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."

"Theses guys were awesome! I met with Cody who owns this business with his brother. The job include taking down 1 tree and grinding 3 large stumps and grading around a recently erected steel storage building and some road base fill to create a parking area. We originally figured it would be a 2 day job, but they got it all done in one day. They had a large skid steer loader with a grapple and 2 tractors and 4-5 guys working on it. It was amazing. They also removed a lot of brush and debris from the site and prepped an area for a driveway entry apron next to the street. The job was great and the price was very reasonable."

"Very professional ​I couldn't be happier with the brush clearing work around my pond. Overgrown weeds and brush had completely taken over the shoreline, but they cleared it out quickly and thoroughly without damaging the surrounding landscape. Great communication, fair pricing, and top-notch work. We do live outside their normal service range but will definitely use them again."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.

Most states do not require excavation companies to hold specific licenses, but many require at least a contractor’s license. Additionally, heavy equipment operators require a special commercial equipment license to operate machinery required for excavation. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to confirm that an excavation company you’re considering hiring is fully licensed. You should also make sure that the excavation team is fully insured before allowing them to work on your property.

Downspouts should be buried at least 5 to 10 feet away from your foundation. This can vary depending on your local building codes, soil type, and property slope. The main goal is to ensure water is directed away from your foundation.

No, fire blight does not survive free in the soil but instead is carried through insects, animals, rain, or wind during the spring. Keep in mind that it can also spread on tools, which is why you should always disinfect them in between cuts.

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.
