"I needed my fence removed, my yard graded, some rock piles cleared and a large dead tree taken down. I called Land Gator. Nathan told me to send a couple pics of the yard. He came over that afternoon, and gave me a very reasonable estimate. He showed up on Friday to do the work when promised. I was highly impressed with the level of work he did quickly and efficiently. I have other projects for him in the future. I highly recommend Land Gator for anyone looking for work done!"

"It is hard to find good help but when you do it is absolutely necessary to complement them and also refer them to others. I hired Ascend Property Services to complete multiple jobs this summer. They removed and installed flooring (LVP), painted interior and exterior of house, pressure washed and completed multiple handyman jobs in multiple houses. I have never been more pleased with hired help. My contractor is Ryan Hardy and he will provide you with timely professional service. His exceptional performance is by far the best I have ever experienced over the past few decades. Please give him a call for your next project. You will be very pleased with the results."

Small jobs welcome

"I should have called him from the beginning! I called someone else and what a mistake. Cody came out and fixed what was messed up by this other guy. Cody burned all the massive piles that were left from land clearing and smoothed out the land that was messed up by the tracks. I will call him first because he takes pride in what he does and makes everything look amazing instead of leaving you with a mess. Cody also made us an arena for the horses! What a great guy and very responsible!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Errors in site preparation can lead to structural failures or appear costly midway. Professionals ensure detailed, reliable home base development layouts.

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.

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.

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.

There are several different factors that influence how long it takes to excavate. For a foundation, it could take anywhere from three days to three weeks. It can take even longer if you face weather-related delays or an inaccessible site that’s riddled with boulders and rough terrain. It may also take longer if you have clay soil, which is more difficult to dig.
