"Tim Lockey was very easy to work with. He was clear about how he could remove my junipers and that he would leave the job with raked dirt. I was very pleased with my experience with Mr. Lockey and his assistant."

"I recently hired this contractor for a full home demolition in preparation for a new home rebuild. The project exceeded every expectation. From start to finish, their customer service was truly exceptional—they were professional, responsive, and genuinely committed to making the process as smooth as possible. Communication was outstanding at every stage, Most importantly, the project was completed exactly on schedule and stayed within the agreed-upon budget, which is rare and greatly appreciated. The quality of their work, combined with their reliability and integrity, makes them a contractor I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a seamless and stress-free experience. Harris S."

"Lee's Yard Works came to my rescue before an Open House to sell my house --- after 7 other services did not want any jobs under 5 men and $1500. I think Lee did a Fantastic shrub bed clean up, mulching, clipping palm branches hanging from tall trees, and taking off palm yard debris, clipping branches, and making everything really pretty. What a great, friendly, fairly priced business! Great work ethic too ! Thank you Lee ! I highly recommend this business and appreciate the hard work!"

I’m Christian. I have been working in all or some fields that u have read for 35 years. Born into a family of Masons. I’m a third generation mason in my family. I specialize in hardscapes and landscaping but not limited to any type of masonry work. I have a window screen repair company currently. Moves into the area little less than a year ago. Trying to figure out what I want to do down here in North Carolina. I learned everything I know from doing and watching work side by side with my dad, uncle and my older brother. Anyway I’m available to work. Ready to take care of someone’s project large or small no matter what it is.

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.

Completion time ranges from days to weeks, contingent on project size, environmental conditions, and regulatory approvals.

Trenching and boring are two distinct methods for installing underground utilities. Trenching involves digging a channel using equipment like an excavator, trencher, backhoe, or shovel. While it is a simpler process, it causes significant disruption to the surface, landscaping, and surrounding ecosystems.

Boring, also known as directional boring, is a less invasive alternative that uses a drill to create a tunnel for utility lines without disturbing the surface. This method is more precise and is ideal for installations that need to go underneath buildings, roads, or bodies of water. Although boring is less disruptive, it is generally more expensive than trenching.
