"This is my second time using Dimmer's Precision Grading. They removed 9 pine trees to give me more back yard. I plan to use them for leveling my backyard and putting me a wall retainer up. That how great their work is."

"Mike arrived on-time to our agree to time and date. He did an excellent job in removing two 14 ft. trees and digging out the roots. Mike removed all the cut limbs and roots then loaded them on his truck and hauled them to the dump. He also cleaned up the area after he finished the job."

"Lance is a great guy. I told him i had a water drainage issue with my barn when it rained. In a matter of moments he knew what was wrong and recommended the cheaper fix of just grading and moving dirt and gravel i already have. Great customer service. Lance does what he says and more( fixed ruts where I got my tractor stuck with me not asking.) You will be satisfied with him and his work."

"Sam and his team did an absolute phenomenal job on our recent property project. We hired them for land clearing, grading, and forestry mulching, and the results exceeded our expectations. From start to finish, Sam and his crew went above and beyond to ensure everything was done perfectly. Their forestry mulching left the property looking clean and usable, and the grading work was top-notch. They are professional, efficient, and clearly take great pride in their work. If you need any land management or clearing done right, look no further than Timberclaw. We couldn't be happier with the outcome!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

A crawl space can be as little as 42 inches below the grade of your house, but this is not always recommended in flood-prone areas. At a minimum, there must be at least 16 inches of clearance between the ground and the floor joists to access the space in an emergency.

Drilled wells have a pipe sticking up that’s covered in a plastic or metal casing. On the other hand, a dug well will look like a big hole in the ground and is more similar to what you’d see in a fantasy or Western movie. If you want to be sure, contact the city for documentation on your property’s construction and excavation history. 

Yes, an excavation company is the best option for land grading and yard leveling. General landscapers might be able to tackle these projects, but an excavation company will do a better job because they’re used to operating the necessary heavy machinery. Landscapers might opt to do the work manually, which takes much longer and could cost you more in labor fees. Finally, excavation companies will understand local regulations and know when you need permits to legalize the work, while a landscaper might not.

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.

It can take several weeks for the ground to settle after removing a tree, and the soil under larger, more mature trees can take months. The deeper the tree has been ground under the soil, the longer it will take to settle. However, this extra depth can help you plant new landscaping sooner because you’ll have more space for fresh soil.
