"G&G Landscaping did a great job cleaning up our yard for spring! They came out for a free estimate and made recommendations so the final result would be exactly what we wanted. They did it all--weeding, trimming bushes, removing ivy, and mulching. Best part was how responsive they were. Highly recommend!"

"WOW! What a transformation. New Village Landscape was absolutely incredible! Jonathan and Venessa were very nice, always responding to my multiple emails, phone calls, and text messages throughout the project. Our property was awful and Jonathan's crew transformed our entire property. From expanding our driveway with new retaining walls and concrete, removing a huge oak tree, laying pea gravel, installing a hammock pergola, and sodding the entire property. Its been several weeks now since they wrapped up the sod and it is perfect! Simply amazing work! Thanks Jack"

"Decorus did a great job of building a brick wall and grading the yard for additional level surface. This was a safety issue for my grand children who might have rolled down into the river on such a steep grade. The decorative & Functional fence did not obstruct our waterfront views. Both teams cleaned up nicely. They even blew the mowed grass on our sidewalk which was not their responsibility. Thanks to the crew."

"I hired Superior earthworks on a recommendation from a previous customer that had concrete work done. He was recommended for his timely work and work ethic, I had a driveway that needed to be completely resurfaced and Bobby came in with some ideas that added a beachy effect, my driveway now looks like it’s part of the beach! I absolutely love it, thank you so much!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Hardscaping often requires preparation of the ground in the area where the feature is being installed. This can include digging, compacting, and leveling the soil, ensuring adequate drainage, and removing any existing plants. The extent of preparation needed will depend on the type and size of the hardscaping feature being installed.

The average cost for pool excavation is $2,500. This cost can range from $450 to $4,500, depending on the pool shape and size, time of year, and any need to move buried utilities. 

When excavating for your pool, you might have to move existing utilities. You can expect to pay an additional $15 to $25 per linear foot to move gas lines. To move a septic system, it’ll cost an additional $2,000 to $20,000. A pool that is 10 feet by 12 feet averages $450 to excavate, and a 20-foot-by-40-foot pool averages $3,020.

Yes, you can install a trench drain if you already have concrete in your yard or garden. While it can complicate some aspects of the job and slightly run up the cost, it is doable. Residential trench drains can be easily retrofitted to outdoor areas with concrete without having to remove excessive amounts of your patio, pool area, or decorative walkways.

Digging a bush up by the roots is the most natural DIY method for removing a bush stump. Start by identifying the shrub type and revealing its roots. Cut the shrub to its base and loosen the soil, ensuring no utility lines are nearby. Optionally, treat the base with herbicide, then dig around the roots and cut a circle around the shrub using various tools. Dig a trench, cut the base of the root ball, and finally fill the hole to prevent regrowth. This thorough process ensures complete removal without damaging surrounding areas.

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.
