"I’ve had difficulty finding someone to make repairs to my existing irrigation system. Everyone wants to install but not do repairs when a valve breaks or head needs replaced or there is a leak - seems to be a real shortage in the Hickory region of people who will do irrigation repairs. That was my problem until we found Austin with 828 Landscape. He is professional, a good communicator and is totally about finding the problem and fixing it. I almost hesitate to post this review because then he’ll get too busy to work on my system when I need him."

Groundhog Grading can handle a wide range of tasks. We specialize in gravel driveways for new construction AND ongoing maintenance. Erosion and water drainage solutions from French drains to complete reslope and precision grading. Land clearing and site prep for new construction. Bush hog AND finish mowing. Storm damage cleanup. Large tree work. Concrete cutting and demo. Firewood sales AND delivery. Retaining walls and MORE lol.. We are a family-owned small business. Friendly, knowledgeable, we treat you how we would want to be treated.

"We chose this company because of the reviews. Paid over $11,000 and still ended up with unfinished grading, high-risk tree work, cleanup, seeding, etc. The contractor repeatedly tried to change the scope, made multiple FAILED ATTEMPTS to UP-CHARGE for work already included, and consistently failed to follow through. We hired him in early October 2025 and gave him a Thanksgiving deadline, which he agreed to. When he thought we hadn?t fully moved onto the property, he never showed up?our security cameras confirmed no activity. He later admitted he only ?sparingly? put seeds down, which was shocking. He blamed weather, then claimed his tools were being borrowed. He even said giving him a deadline was ?rude.? Had he said he couldn?t commit, we never would have paid him. Unreliable, unprofessional, and deceitful. At the end of the day, he got paid for work he had no intention of completing. That?s the bottom line!"

"Garrett and Wil and their crew did an excellent job. We had a stone patio installed along with steps and a dry creek-bed drain. We were very happy with their work. They are very friendly, courteous and professional and they worked very hard to complete the task promptly, despite some poor weather days. They were careful to cleanup afterwards and left our yard looking better than when they arrived. The cost was in line with their estimate and we would highly recommend them to anyone needing stone-scape or landscape work."

French Drains questions, answered by experts

First, find the cleanout pipe in your yard. Unscrew the cap—you may need a wrench to do so. Then, get a drain snake. You can use a non-motorized one, but a motorized snake will make the job a little easier. Feed the snake through the pipe until it reaches the clog. Spin the snake continuously, but don’t try to feed it through the pipe anymore. Keep spinning until you feel it break the clog apart.

If you leave liquid drain cleaner for too long, it will start breaking down your drainpipes. The chemicals in these cleaners can cause cracks, corrosion, and leaks in your pipes. They can also damage plumbing fixtures and even cause environmental damage if left too long without rinsing away.

Main sewer lines can clog for several reasons. For example, if you regularly dump oil or grease down your drain, it could eventually block your line. Sometimes, tree roots can penetrate and grow inside old sewer pipes, creating a major blockage. Flushing bulky items (like paper towels, diapers, or baby wipes) can also clog your plumbing system.

You may have a clogged gutter. Downspouts can also clog if your gutter collects too much debris. Hire a professional gutter cleaner, and if you still have problems, install a gutter guard (which prevents debris from entering your gutter system) and a downspout extension (which helps drain water further away from your foundation, so it doesn't pool near your house). Follow these tips to keep your gutter downspouts clean.

Never pour used motor oil down the drain. Doing so can have serious environmental consequences, including contaminating groundwater, endangering animals, and killing vegetation. It can also clog your pipes, causing backups in your plumbing or the wastewater treatment plant. In most places, pouring motor oil down the drain is illegal, whether you do it in your home or a storm drain.
