"This company did an excellent job after a large tree was removed from my front lawn. They brought their crew out early on a Monday morning leveled the ground with topsoil, put sod down, new mulch, stones and flowers where it was requested, and all finished within 4 days. They left it neat and professional looking. I would recommend them."

"Quick communication and follow through. Was on time and ready to work. Took overgrown grass down to inches, while mulching the grass. Bagged and hauled away clippings and blew the trimmings. Yard looks 100% better!"

"Daniel and his team did an amzing job replacing our worn out lawn with beautiful Zorro Zoysia. From my first phone call requesting an estimate and throughout the entire project, Daniel and his team were clear and concise with their communications and professional with all aspects of the install. We couldn't be happier with the results. No surprises, just 5 STAR service!"

"Excellent Painting Work and Professional Service!” JMST Home Services did an amazing job painting my new home at Lyndale Drive in Atlanta. From start to finish, the team was on time, respectful, and detail-oriented. The prep work was thorough, and the finished result looks flawless — smooth walls, clean lines, and high-quality paint throughout. They transformed the space and exceeded my expectations. I’ll definitely be using JMST again for future projects and highly recommend them to anyone looking for professional, dependable workmanship."

"Salazar replaced two separate retaining walls at my residence, demolishing and removing old/inadequate brick walls and replacing with proper full size blocks and capstones. In addition, they added a small concrete pad adjoining my Ssltillo patio and installed matching tile. Their work is very high quality and exhibits superb craftsmanship and care. I highly recommend them !"

I am so glad I found this company and look forward to using their services for future lawn care projects. I used them to trim my shrubs and a trees and was so satisfied with the quality of work I received that I will be using them for larger lawn projects as well."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Yes, trenchers can go through gravel. Gravel is made up of smaller, softer rocks that certain trenchers are able to cut through. Just be sure to use a rock wheel trencher or chain trencher, both of which are made to cut through rocky landscapes and gravel pathways without dulling the teeth or chain.

You should dig 3 to 6 inches deep for plastic edging. Dig as wide as you need to fit your plastic edging into it—2 inches is usually sufficient.

Yes, you can install a trench drain if you already have concrete in your yard or garden. While it can complicate some aspects of the job and slightly run up the cost, it is doable. Residential trench drains can be easily retrofitted to outdoor areas with concrete without having to remove excessive amounts of your patio, pool area, or decorative walkways.

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.

A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock.
