"I hired Dirt-N-Turf for a landscaping project involving tree clearing, land contouring, and the completion of rock retaining wall, and I couldn’t be more impressed with their work. From start to finish, their team demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and a commitment to perfection that sets them apart. The tree clearing was handled with precision and care, ensuring the safety of our property and buildings while efficiently removing unwanted trees. Their equipment appropriate to the job made quick work of the job without compromising on quality. The land contouring was equally impressive, transforming uneven terrain into a beautifully shaped landscape that perfectly suited our vision. They took the time to understand our needs and provided expert recommendations to improve the project’s outcome. The rock retaining walls they completed are fantastic. The craftsmanship is evident in every detail, with carefully selected stones arranged to create both functional and visually strik"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even for projects that only involve grading or yard leveling. Permit requirements depend on your local government and the scope of the project, but they are especially common for significant digging or work that could affect utilities or public property. These permits help protect the local topography and prevent drainage issues. An experienced excavation company will typically know whether permits are needed and can often handle the process of pulling and closing them for you. You can also verify permit requirements by contacting your local building department and describing your project.

The digging depth will depend on the size of the trencher you use. Even smaller units can dig up to 4 feet deep, which is plenty for a DIY job. However, much larger trenchers can reach a depth of 18 feet and are better used by a team of pro contractors, not a single DIYer. As with all home improvement projects, use the right tool for the job and proceed with caution.

The best type of soil to build on is a mixture of sand and clay, known as loam soil. Loam soil has the best combination of these soil types to build a foundation on. The clay particles help with water retention, so it won’t erode like sandy soil might, and the sandy particles help with drainage, so you won’t see unsafe soil expansion or have an increased risk of leaks from water sitting against your foundation.

Maintain open communication and address issues as they arise, ensuring contract terms cover potential delays.

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.
