"Matthew did a land/home site clearing job for me and did an excellent job. Very professional and knowledgeable of the work that was performed. Excellent communication and updates of the job as it was being performed. I would highly recommend Marsh Clearing and Excavation. I would definitely use them for any future needs that I have for clearing , grading, or excavation needs that I have. Thanks Matthew- Great Job!"

"Everything was great! We lost our shop and part of our home several yrs ago to a house fire. We called Mr Greenway and he sprung into action immediately to see that everything was handled correctly. From the beginning till the keys were handed to us, he was more than willing to go out of his way for us. He explained each step of the construction process and made sure that we were happy with the way things were done. He was on time, efficient, and professional while very courteous. Have also used them @ our property in Fla. We would and have recommended him to other home owners. Even through the stress of the fire they put my mind at ease while giving me the kitchen I'd always dreamed of. Great job Brandon & Mrs. Greenway!"

"I am thrilled at the results. Brett arrived early and worked late. His powerful mulched ground up all the brush and hedges I had wanted to dig out. It would have taken me weeks to do what he did in 3 hours. The Bobcat with the mulched attached easily removed and shredded my small trees and weedy bushes. This is an industrial grade tool that has an in closed cab for a professional operator. It is relatively quiet and very safe. It has rubber tracks, so it didnâ t hurt my driveway. The experience was great and Brett was so nice and courteous. My wife is so proud and feels safer with the bushes removed (no critters lurking). This was a professional job. If you like to support people who work for themselves, as I do, this company will not disappoint. Also, Brett is a Marine, polite, tough and resourceful. I will use him again."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Downspouts should be buried at least 5 to 10 feet away from your foundation. This can vary depending on your local building codes, soil type, and property slope. The main goal is to ensure water is directed away from your foundation.

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. 

Underground downspouts refer to the sections of downspout extensions that lead away from your home and gutter system. While they cost more than traditional extensions, they can provide several benefits, such as less frequent damage and no need to move them for lawn care tasks. Whether they're worth it or not depends on your budget at installation time and how much convenience they'll add to your situation.

No, you typically cannot use metal detectors to find your sewer line. Most sewer lines are made of non-metallic materials such as PVC, clay, or cast iron, which are not detectable by standard metal detectors. Metal detectors are designed to locate metallic objects, so they won't be effective for identifying the path of a non-metallic sewer line. To locate your sewer line accurately, it's best to use other methods.

Trenchers can dig holes as narrow as 4 inches or as wide as 4 feet. Check the specifications of the trencher you rent or buy to determine how wide it will cut into the landscape. Better yet, let the excavation company know how wide you’d like the trench to be, and they can help you choose the right trencher for the job (or do it for you).
