"Jonathan and his team were as close to perfection as it gets. It’s obviously that he is a very knowledgeable landscaper with formal education in the industry. His recommendations help bring our vision to life. The project was a difficult one, so I’m glad I found someone competent to perform the job. I highly recommend his services and will definitely use him again."

"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."

"Darius did a great job in recommending, selecting and installing the landscaping bushes, plants and flower upgrades for our yard! He showed great patience in working with us to get the right mix. He even replanted some existing bushes that are no longer available so that they will be grouped together. He also found and fixed several leaks in my irrigation system and installed new sprinkler heads where needed, which I really appreciated! All in all, I highly recommend GreenMen Landscape Services"

"Hard working, outstanding work. They explained what they were going to do. Contacted us a few days before the job to confirm they are coming. They pay attention to the smallest details, and talk with us while doing the work. Plus they gave a good price, much lower than the nearest competitor."

"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 questions, answered by experts

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.

Depending on the severity of the freeze and the method used, thawing frozen underground pipes can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours. Applying heat directly to the pipe using heat tape, infrared lamps, or hot water jetting can speed up the process. However, patience and careful monitoring are key to avoiding pipe damage.

Excavations take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time it takes to excavate an area depends on the size of the area, the type of soil, the type of excavator, and even the time of year, since winter can make digging up the ground more difficult.

Excavation is priced in cubic yards, so you’ll need to find the volume of the area in order to calculate costs. Multiply the length, width, and proposed depth of your excavation site, then convert it into yards to get the volume. Multiply this figure by the price per cubic yard.

Most homeowners can measure by hand to get a rough estimate, even if it’s tedious. You may want to pull out a tape measure or use a string to help mark the area.

It can take several weeks for the ground to settle after removing a tree, and the soil under larger, more mature trees can take months. The deeper the tree has been ground under the soil, the longer it will take to settle. However, this extra depth can help you plant new landscaping sooner because you’ll have more space for fresh soil.
