"Nathan did a great job! I was called out of town so only able to explain what I needed done over the phone. I am very picky about how I want things completed -- I was pleasantly surprised when I came home to find everything done perfectly! Nathan showed up when he said he would, confirmed what I was asking and completed the work within the time frame we discussed, for the price he quoted! I have more work of the same that will need done in the Spring. I will be calling Lewis & Sons to handle the job!"

"Lawn looks wonderful. Weeded and edged sidewalks and driveway. Cleaned off grass clippings even out of the road. Hauled of brush. Was really impressed he takes pride in his work. Definitely recommend him to others. Very affordable prices which helps since I'm on disability. I usually can't afford for my yard to look this good. Thanks so much for the excellent service Chris and thanks for serving our country. This guy is top notch."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Excavation and grading are both generally necessary for designing your foundation, and leveling the ground where your foundation will go. These steps can also prepare the area by removing vegetation and anything else that could interfere with your home’s foundation.

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.

Because decomposed granite is a durable material, a crushed rock or gravel base is optional as long as the DG is properly installed and compacted. However, installing a base is a good idea because it will ensure proper drainage and stability and act as a weed suppressant (although you may still occasionally have to pull weeds). Installing an adequate base can also increase the durability of driveways and walkways. If you forego the paver base or gravel underneath, line the area with landscaping fabric to avoid weeds.

Your contractor should handle dust control during the project. It's best to speak with your contractor beforehand to check if they plan to cover your furniture, protect your vents, or use fans to redirect dust. Eliminating drywall dust is a particularly large challenge during construction, so always take this into account during your planning phase.

Excavations take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time it takes to excavate an area depends on the size of the area, the type of soil, the type of excavator, and even the time of year, since winter can make digging up the ground more difficult.
