"I bought my house a few years ago and always planned to redo the front garden. I wasnâ t in a place where I could pull everything up myself so I hired The Brothers to demo my front garden and give me the clean slate to plant my dream garden. Itâ s a small project but one Iâ m glad they handled. They were very communicative and responsive to all my questions. Iâ ll definitely be in touch with other projects I have planned."

"Atlas tree Service did a terrific job digging a French drain, replacing a dead holly tree, and trimming up a large oak tree for me. The drain is working beautifully and the sod looks beautiful. I would recommend them highly."

"Greenmen landscaping did an amazing job on our backyard landscaping. I felt like I was on HGTV! We recently purchased a new home that desperately needed an overhaul in the backyard. It is now the perfect oasis for our family and small children and pup! We couldn’t be happier with the work performed. The crew was always professionally and tidy. There was so much work to do but the team worked diligently and the project was complete within about a week. Thank you Greenmen landscaping!"

"Such a great experience from beginning to end! They helped repair a roof and rotted wood from a 35-40 foot high roof on a historic condominium building in Midtown Atlanta. There were a number of complicated logistics with equipment and custom cutting and installation. Final House are experts at what they do and can help you accomplish an array of complicated projects with ease."

"Work was performed very fast, four days on site.  first day demo and removal of bad wood, Second fixing wall, adding draining; third finalizing wall and replacing top rail.  Final day was creating a dry rock bed to divert water away from outdoor living space.  Filipe came back and walked through the steps.  He showed me what was changed and which areas he fixed.  Easy to work with, fast.
I'd consider him for other work.

"We contacted Atlanta Bobcat Services for the demolition of our in-ground pool. It was evident from when Mark came for the quote that he had the know-how for the job, and was already formulating a plan. The work was nothing short of amazing. Well planned and executed with attention to detail. Mark and his crew really knocked it out of the park. Atlanta Bobcat turned our decrepit pit of a swimming pool into usable yard space. We are very satisfied and would definitely recommend them."

"Great experience. Chris is super professional and very responsive. He is very knowledgeable about his craft and his prices super reasonable. 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 FAQs, answered by experts

Because decomposed granite is a durable material, a crushed rock or gravel base is optional as long as the DG is properly installed and compacted. However, installing a base is a good idea because it will ensure proper drainage and stability and act as a weed suppressant (although you may still occasionally have to pull weeds). Installing an adequate base can also increase the durability of driveways and walkways. If you forego the paver base or gravel underneath, line the area with landscaping fabric to avoid weeds.

Yes, you can excavate in the winter, but it might make the job harder. Frozen ground is harder to dig, and snow or ice can make the work site more hazardous. A contractor may need special equipment and techniques, such as ground-thawing methods, to break through frozen soil. Although winter excavation is possible, it may take longer and be more costly than excavating during warmer months.

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.

Professional installers often include a deep layer of crushed gravel under permeable pavers to allow more runoff to soak through into the soil below. Many installations will include multiple layers of gravel, with coarser aggregate at the base and finer aggregate that sits on top of that bottom layer. Above the gravel, you’ll often find coarse sand that helps reduce paver shifting over time. Some permeable paver designs include a water collection system set into the gravel layer to route runoff to a safe area for disposal.

In the United States, a depth of 36 inches (three feet) for underground water lines is the accepted industry standard. This depth varies from location to location based on local conditions. In areas with colder winters, they may be buried deeper to prevent frozen well water pipes : This is usually at least six inches below the frost level. The International Plumbing Code calls for a minimum of 12 inches below grade.
