"Chrissy and her crew go over and above to make it as easy as possible for the homeowner. They are like family through the process of Estate Sales. I could not have ever received the best customer service from anyone else. I really loved the way they handled my things with kid gloves. They get five for compassion and caring for my needs."

I am a native of Georgia and have been here all my life. At one time, I worked for one of the largest hauling companies for 26 years in the roll-off department, while maintaining my personal LLC on the side. I am now all in for myself and we provide a number of services. \n\nThe services that we provide are land clearing,storm clean-up, grading, debris removal, junk removal, shrub/bush removal, tree removal, stump grinding,and lawn maintenance. If you're in need of any of these services, feel free to give us a call for a price or estimate.

Excavating questions, answered by experts

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even for projects that only involve grading or yard leveling. Permit requirements depend on your local government and the scope of the project, but they are especially common for significant digging or work that could affect utilities or public property. These permits help protect the local topography and prevent drainage issues. An experienced excavation company will typically know whether permits are needed and can often handle the process of pulling and closing them for you. You can also verify permit requirements by contacting your local building department and describing your project.

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 crawl space can be as little as 42 inches below the grade of your house, but this is not always recommended in flood-prone areas. At a minimum, there must be at least 16 inches of clearance between the ground and the floor joists to access the space in an emergency.

Completion time ranges from days to weeks, contingent on project size, environmental conditions, and regulatory approvals.

The best method for digging a trench depends on the scope of the project. For a short, shallow trench (less than 2 feet deep) in light, soft soil, digging by hand may be sufficient. However, digging by hand is labor-intensive, so consider the effort required. A machine trencher is the better option for longer trenches (over 100 feet), deeper ones, or when dealing with difficult soil conditions, such as rocky or hard ground, or obstructions like tree roots. A machine can save significant time and energy in these situations.
