"Double M Groundworks did a fantastic job replacing an old retaining wall. They also did grading work around the foundation of my home to improve water drainage away from the house. The work was completed in two days. I am very pleased with their work and professionalism. I will use them again if a need arises."

"I used their service over a year ago and was super pleased with their work. They were very professional and knew their way around the many tree types on my lot. I couldn’t have been more pleased. I took too long to review their work because we sold the property and moved shortly after they trimmed the trees. I definitely would recommend them and would use them again if I ever need their service."

"I called Tracy Youngs for an estimate on a rain water drainage problem in my back yard. Within a day he contacted me and went over every option available. Tracy and his crew were there as stated, did exactly what he said he could do to solve the problem. This crew worked beyond what was expected and would not quit until everything was superior standard. They thrive on excellence, integrity, & professionalism. I will use Integrity Hardscapes for every need I have. I have already recommended Tracy Youngs to several other people. Awesome Job and beautiful results !!!!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

Depth is not a qualifying component of evacuation. Any human-made cut, cavity, or depression in the earth’s surface is considered excavation. The hole from excavation can be any size, shape, or depth. Excavation is used to create foundations, reservoirs, drainage ditches, and roads. Long, narrow excavations are called trenches and are often used for underground utilities.

To locate an underground downspout, you should start by identifying where the above ground gutter drains. Look for an entry point, such as a pipe or elbow leading into the ground. Follow the surface path for signs like depressions, landscaping disruptions, or wet areas after rain. You can use a metal detector or plumber’s snake to trace the pipe underground. For deeper pipes, a professional locator tool or camera inspection may be necessary. Visual markers or utility maps can also guide the search.
