"Diversified GreenScapes did an amazing job repairing our long driveway. It was full of potholes, uneven spots, and had gotten to the point where it was rough just driving on it every day. They came in with the right equipment, took their time to do it correctly, and completely transformed it. The driveway is now smooth, level, and looks better than it has in years. What really stood out was their professionalism and attention to detail. They didn’t just do a quick patch job — they made sure the whole driveway was graded properly so it would last. Communication was great, they showed up when they said they would, and the price was fair for the quality of work we received. I would absolutely recommend Diversified GreenScapes to anyone needing driveway repair or grading work done."

"I hired Mr. Purvis to clear the back corner of the property. This was an area that was overgrown. Several trees were down from Hurricane Helene. Mr. Purvis cleared the fallen trees, their stumps, and the overgrowth at a fair price. The next time I need some work on the property, I’ll be sure to give him a call."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.

There are many ways to cut through roots when digging, especially if your trencher doesn’t seem to be removing the roots. First, use a shovel to expose the roots. Then, use gardening shears to clear out smaller roots or a reciprocating saw to remove larger plant roots. If you plan on keeping the plant, avoid cutting any roots over 2 inches thick.

We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.

Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.
