"Chris Culpepper and his team were professional, courteous and always on time. Chris followed up as the job was being done making sure it was progressing the way we wanted it to look. He took the time to understand what we wanted and if we were happy. My husband and I consider him a friend now who will be hired back to do more projects for us. We highly recommend using this company for all your tree removal, excavations, lawn prep and more! We are sooo very happy with our results. Thank you so much Culpepper and Sons!!"

"Very well. The staff was on time, cleaned the flower beds, moved dirt to various beds, mulched, put down landscape ties, and more. They were very professional and knowledgeable of what needed to be done. I plan to hire G&G Landscaping again for other landscaping needs. Job well done! Many thanks to G&G for making my flower beds beautiful again!"

"These guys were absolutely phenomenal! They installed a retaining wall for me. They took one photo of what I said I wanted and tailored it without any effort on my part to install a retaining wall that is exactly like the photo I gave them. They scheduled me in almost immediately. The job was done in less than a week. They did what I asked for, quick turn around, and left the site better than they found it. Thank you!!!!!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

To drill a shallow well, you may be able to use a drive well point. This is a tapered point that is driven into the ground. A drill bit at the end of PVC pipe may be another option to consider. A lot of the cost depends on what tools are available near you.

If you’re planning to dig on your property, you’ll need to check for underground utility lines. Call the national call-before-you-dig 811 number. Once connected to an operator, you can schedule a site visit to mark underground lines. This way, you won’t accidentally dig into pipes and can cause major (read: costly) issues.

The rules for trenching and excavation include setting up and following safety protocols, learning how to use tools and machines properly, and ensuring there is a safe exit for all workers. Keep heavy equipment and materials away from the edge of the hole or trench. Call the 811 dig line before starting any excavation or trenching project to ensure you don’t hit any electrical or gas lines.

Water lines are buried at various depths, depending on the type of line. For example, most sprinkler lines are buried between four and 12 inches underground. On the other hand, water mains usually sit between one and 3 feet below ground. However, they can go even deeper in cold climates to prevent freezing.

A perc test can take anywhere from one to eight hours to complete. The total time depends on factors like the amount of excavation required, the depth and width of the holes, and whether multiple test holes are needed. For a single hole, the process of filling it with water and monitoring the drainage rate usually takes less than an hour. Professionals can often complete the entire test in a single day. While it's possible to get results the same day, some companies may take a few days to provide the official report.
