"I hired Outdoor Visions to install almost 60 trees as a privacy hedge. Austin was friendly and very communicative, and he and his crew did a great job. They showed up on time, finished quickly, and cleaned up afterwards. I will definitely be hiring them again in the future!"

"Jeff and his crew were fantastic!! We couldn't have had a better experience. Jeff worked with us on design and made suggestions that enhanced the project. As we made revisions to the scope of work, Jeff was timely in modifying the quote and was so patient with us while we worked out the details! He quoted a start date and started on that date and worked daily until the project was complete. The crew was respectful of our property and that of our neighbors. The landscaping turned out beautiful! We were working from home during the entire project and didn't once see a corner cut. Additionally, Jeff had creative solutions so some existing drainage problems and offered those along the way. Graceful Gardens was amazing and I am thrilled to recommend them."

"Brad and Bruce did a nice job on my additional gravel parking area. It did take extra day due to family emergency but they were very careful not to damage my existing concrete driveway. They got to my job inside of a week which was great. They did everything that I expected and my family does this for a living in Florida so I knew what it should look like. Thanks guys for moving that fallen tree."

"The owner, Corey Chastain, is very dependable and reliable. He replies to inquiries promptly. He is very cost-conscious for the customer and does his best to keep course down. He graded my Gravel driveway which wasnâ t terrible condition And when he was finished, it was as perfect as it could be. He also gave me some professional opinion and advice about other gravel roadways on my property. I highly recommend him to anyone needing any sort of grading or landscaping done."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

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

Yes, an excavation company is the best option for land grading and yard leveling. General landscapers might be able to tackle these projects, but an excavation company will do a better job because they’re used to operating the necessary heavy machinery. Landscapers might opt to do the work manually, which takes much longer and could cost you more in labor fees. Finally, excavation companies will understand local regulations and know when you need permits to legalize the work, while a landscaper might not.

Landscape edging is more DIYable than trenching. You can DIY your own digging projects, but proceed carefully and only with proper knowledge of the equipment and appropriate safety measures in place. Keep in mind the project's scope and estimate how long it will take you to do it on your own. While you can certainly save money by DIYing home improvement projects, you can’t exactly hide an unfinished—or worse, ruined— landscaping job from the neighbors. It’s always safer to call an excavation pro near you to get an estimate.

If you’re planning to dig on your property, you’ll need to check for underground utility lines. Call the national call-before-you-dig 811 number. Once connected to an operator, you can schedule a site visit to mark underground lines. This way, you won’t accidentally dig into pipes and can cause major (read: costly) issues.

A joint utility trench, or joint trench, is a long, buried ditch on a property that contains two or more utility lines rather than running the lines in multiple trenches. Some utilities, like gas and electric or electric and communication lines, are better suited to joint trenching, while others, like water and sewer, are not allowed to be in the same trench.
