Customers say: Quality work

"Mike and Mason replaced and extended decks on the front and back of my house, replaced all the windows and doors, and replaced most of the plywood/siding on the house - had some rot from previous storms of which I was unaware. Mike kept me informed every step of the way and was very easy to work with. Mason is a very capable young man and a hard worker. Everything was done in a timely manner -despite the unexpected damage uncovered - and they completely cleaned inside and out once finished. All the work was outstanding and looks amazing. Any future jobs I have, I will be using Colley Construction."

"I couldn’t be happier with the work Blanton Land Management did! The final result exceeded my expectations, my yard looks absolutely beautiful. They transformed the space into something both functional and stunning, and you can really tell they take pride in their craft. Their pricing was fair, and the entire process felt smooth and stress free. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for reliable, skilled, and creative landscapers. I’ll definitely be using them again for future projects!"

"Before they showed up, my yard looked like it was auditioning for a Discovery Channel documentary. A few days later, it looked like it belonged on a landscaping magazine cover. Great communication, fair pricing, and they treated my property like it was their own. I’d hire them again in a heartbeat… assuming I can convince my wife we need to clear more land. 10/10 would let them bulldoze my property again. The only complaint I have is now my wife expects the inside of the house to look as good as the outside."

"This project expanded greatly from the original quote. Levi worked with us and all extra projects were very fairly quoted. There have been delays and there is still a finish job to be completed. The delays really have not been the fault of the contractor. I would hire him again."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

The time it takes to build a pool—and dig out the area—varies based on the pool size and type. A professional excavator will take between four and eight hours to dig a pool. The process will take longer if they encounter large boulders or tree roots. Keep in mind that this is a small part of the process in the long run. You will need between eight and 12 weeks to build a pool from start to finish, including the time to apply for permits.

Yes, professional installations include trenching or borehole drilling required for ground loops.

While you can save some money by digging your own pool, you may end up paying more in construction equipment rental fees in the long run. You could, however, focus your DIY energies on lowering the cost of leveling your lawn for your pool or filling in surrounding landscaping after construction.

Prior to excavation, you should prepare the dig site and call 311 before you sign anything.

To get your site ready for excavation, you should move anything in the area that isn’t affixed to the land. You can save money on the excavation by removing hardscaping, including walkways, decks, concrete patios, and paver patios.

Before you carry out any digging, you should call 311 to confirm that there are no utility lines running through your excavation site. Skipping this step could lead to severe injury and property damage if your excavator hits a water, sewage, or gas line.
