"Bob was excellent with his communications and with his consulting during the planning for the project. We followed his advice with respect to the amount of soil and the type (super soil) that was needed. This was included in the price estimate and Bob picked it up prior to starting the project. A date for the work was set and Bob and his crew of two arrived early in the morning and got to work unloading the soil, transporting it to the backyard and spreading it evenly over the project area. After seeding, peat moss was spread over the top as a protective layer. We are extremely happy with the service provided, and the speed and professionalism of the entire crew. I just can’t wait until the grass emerges - I’m sure it will be beautiful. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire Pro Cut Landscape & Design again and can recommend them highly to anyone with a landscaping project."

"Daydo and his crew came with their bobcat to do some landscaping + install ditches for gutters + put a gravel ring around the whole house. They were professional. Daydo had vision, and proposed a few extra things (lowering a hill, black aluminum trim around gravel) that while I did pay for, was very happy with."

"You hear these horror stories of people who take your money and get back to you whenever they feel like it, but this was the complete opposite. They gave me a clear breakdown of costs, told me when they were going to start, and when they were going to be done, and did exactly what they said they would do at exactly the budget they said they'd do it at. I honestly had no idea how they were going to demolish a shed, move a couple of trees, set up a retaining wall, and re-create my front and back lawns in, like, a week. But they did, and it turned out wonderfully."

"I had a fence in my backyard that was deteriorating. I contacted them and they came out quickly, gave me an estimate and fixed it within the week. The owner was really friendly and even offered to do some fix-ups on my house for the same price!"

"Minor came and gave a free estimate and when he returned a few days later, he was prompt and very professional. When the job was complete he removed all the debris and trucked it away and he left it cleaner than it was before."

"Rafael and his crew did an outstanding job getting our yard ready for the winter. The yard is spotless, they trimmed plants, even cut grass that we hadn’t asked them to do. Fast, very efficient, and good people to work with."

"I couldn’t be more impressed with the crew. I fully expected them to need a heavy crane for this job, but they expertly climbed up and took the tree down systematically, branch by branch. Their level of precision and care was incredible—they made sure every single branch came down safely, completely protecting all of our surrounding decorative trees without a scratch. Meticulous, professional, and hardworking from start to finish. A job wonderfully done!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Yes, chipmunk holes may have two or more entrances. Chipmunks can create an entire network of burrows. Having multiple entrances makes it easier for them when trying to escape from a predator, such as a snake, or if an entrance collapses due to flooding. Each entrance leads to the nesting chamber underground, which is where the chipmunk spends the majority of its time sleeping.

Yes, professional installations include trenching or borehole drilling required for ground loops.

A mini excavator can dig between 5 and 11 feet deep, depending on the type and size of the mini excavator. Mini hydraulic excavators are more powerful and can reach deeper into the earth, but electric models have a more limited range. Mini excavators over two tons in size are also more powerful and able to dig as deep as 11 feet.
