"What great brothers and absolutely the best at what they do! They cut trees down, cleared under brush, made a steep slope not so steep, planted grass, pulled some bushes up. Graded around a 60x40 concrete pad and leveled it until it was even and then put gravel around the entire pad. We both are loving the way everything looks and turned out! Thank you Zack and Patrick! We will definitely use your company again!"

"We have been in my home for 17 years. The backyard did not look like it did when they were done. Our backyard is bigger. Josh and Alan made our yard look amazing! We had so much overgrowth it was unreal, and it looked like it was going to engulf our home. The backyard was never easy to mow, and it always had this small look to it from the design of the development company. It was cluttered looking. See we had shopped around for a while and were not pleased with what we ran into. We put in a search at Home Advisor and they popped up. We are so incredibly happy with our selection of Gordonâ s Southern Land Management. They are Pleasant, Professional and a breath of fresh air to speak with. They arrived on time when they said and taught us so much about our land. They were not bothered by my questions about the equipment or about certain areas in my yard. My husband laughed at me because I was like a kid at Christmas watching them work. They did exactly what we discussed in our 1st consultation, but to me they did so much more. They are also highly informative and explained so much to me about my yard, even gave me visions for the yard. The Goat was amazing to watch at work ( not a real goat)! The best way I could explain my back yard was a wild area, a Jungle. Josh and Alan came in trimmed, shaved, cleared, and leveled a working canvas of opportunities for us to create our dream backyard. As I gaze upon my finished yard, I cried because it is so beautiful, and in the time of COVID-19 I can find peace and serenity in my backyard away from the world. I can never say it enoughâ Thank You So Much Josh and Alan for everything you both have done.â I would and have recommended people to them and will continue to do so! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for giving us back our backyard. I promise to take care of it. Ms. Cheryl"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Drilled wells have a pipe sticking up that’s covered in a plastic or metal casing. On the other hand, a dug well will look like a big hole in the ground and is more similar to what you’d see in a fantasy or Western movie. If you want to be sure, contact the city for documentation on your property’s construction and excavation history. 

If you have a broken sprinkler pipe underground, there will be some signs you can easily spot to locate it and take action. These include leaks, water spouts, flooding, consistently damp areas on your lawn, low water pressure, and grass around the sprinkler head that’s taller and darker than anywhere else in the yard. 

If there are no obvious signs of a broken pipe, you can use tools such as water leak mics, leak noise loggers, audio devices that record leaks, and acoustic testing links. 

Broken pipes can lead to uneven watering, plant damage, and higher utility bills. The longer you wait to fix them the more the repair cost may be.

You can dig 60 to 80 linear feet by hand per day depending on the depth. Digging a 100-foot trench by hand will take you two work days, but it can take longer if you have heavy or rocky soil. If you’re digging a deep trench or one that’s over 100 feet, consider renting a mechanical trencher, such as a walk-behind or ride-on, or calling a pro for help. 

A perc test can take anywhere from one to eight hours to complete. The total time depends on factors like the amount of excavation required, the depth and width of the holes, and whether multiple test holes are needed. For a single hole, the process of filling it with water and monitoring the drainage rate usually takes less than an hour. Professionals can often complete the entire test in a single day. While it's possible to get results the same day, some companies may take a few days to provide the official report.

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.
