"Excavating Landscape Services ~ If you are looking for a qualified, honest, professional and reasonably-priced excavation contractor in either Greene, Christian, Taney, or Stone counties of Southwest Missouri, your search is finally over. Saddlebrooke, Missouri is an upscale residential development off Highway 65 between Springfield and Branson, where my wife and I were going to build a house on a beautiful idyllic lot overlooking pristine Bull Creek. Concrete footing with rebar for stem walls was poured and set years ago for a large house in Seven Pines gated subdivision. Then, our plans changed, we decided not to build ... Fast forward to the present, when we needed to restore the build lot to its original condition; which would require demolition and removal of concrete structure including rebar, excavation, adding fill dirt, and grading of lot to create a natural slope and contour suitable for mowing. A major project! Working blindly and knowing virtually nothing about demolition, landscaping, or excavation, I took on the rather daunting task of researching options and identifying qualified area excavators. During this time, I spoke with dozens of SW MO area excavators, and finally narrowed down the list to about a half dozen vetted contractors with their cost estimates. Careful marketplace analysis, referrals, a website presence, responsiveness for quote, telephone interviews, all this due diligence helped to separate the pretenders from the presenters; which all pointed in only one direction, and that was Carr Excavating and Landscaping, LLC based in Galena, Missouri. I am delighted with their work and the finished landscape project; bought in under budget and on schedule. Highly recommend Carr Excavating, simply the best, and the entire Carr Excavating and Landscaping Team was a pleasure to do business with ... Special thank you to Brent Carr and to Sheena Carr for making this such a wonderful experience, and restoring the natural beauty of 762 Seven Pines Drive, Saddlebrooke, MO 65630."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Underground downspouts refer to the sections of downspout extensions that lead away from your home and gutter system. While they cost more than traditional extensions, they can provide several benefits, such as less frequent damage and no need to move them for lawn care tasks. Whether they're worth it or not depends on your budget at installation time and how much convenience they'll add to your situation.

Most residential basements are 8 to 10 feet deep. You can dig deeper depending on building codes, but it does become more difficult. You’ll likely need to install stronger foundation walls and additional supports to handle the increased load. Depending on the water table, you may also need a water management system. Clay soil can support a deeper foundation than sandy soil. A structural engineer will be able to tell you the maximum, feasible depth.

Yes, trenchers can go through gravel. Gravel is made up of smaller, softer rocks that certain trenchers are able to cut through. Just be sure to use a rock wheel trencher or chain trencher, both of which are made to cut through rocky landscapes and gravel pathways without dulling the teeth or chain.

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.

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.
