"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."

"Mass Force Land Clearing & Timber Management did an outstanding job on my property. From the very beginning, their team was professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. They handled everything from brush removal to timber management with real skill and attention to detail. They arrived on time, worked efficiently, and kept the entire area clean and organized throughout the project. The results were better than I expected. My land is cleared, leveled, and ready for the next step, all thanks to their hard work.

"We had a fantastic experience working with Patrick from Christie Construction Services. Within 24hrs of submitting a request for a quote, Patrick reached out to schedule a time to come out and discuss the project. Patrick's communication and responsiveness throughout couldn't have been better. Project costs and progress were made very transparent and any questions I had were answered thoroughly. Patrick also volunteered his knowledge and expertise on additional improvements that we could do ourselves to further enhance our landscaping and drainage challenges on our property. This was very much appreciated as we live in a tough location and have a limited budget. He went above and beyond to help resolve the drainage issues we hired him to address and then some. The level of customer service can't be beat; not only does Christies know their stuff, but they are just genuinely great people! It was a pleasure working with Patrick and co., we will absolutely be hiring them again for our future landscaping and property improvement needs. Our new and improved driveway turned out great!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Hardscaping often requires preparation of the ground in the area where the feature is being installed. This can include digging, compacting, and leveling the soil, ensuring adequate drainage, and removing any existing plants. The extent of preparation needed will depend on the type and size of the hardscaping feature being installed.

A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock.

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even for projects that only involve grading or yard leveling. Permit requirements depend on your local government and the scope of the project, but they are especially common for significant digging or work that could affect utilities or public property. These permits help protect the local topography and prevent drainage issues. An experienced excavation company will typically know whether permits are needed and can often handle the process of pulling and closing them for you. You can also verify permit requirements by contacting your local building department and describing your project.

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.

Excavations take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time it takes to excavate an area depends on the size of the area, the type of soil, the type of excavator, and even the time of year, since winter can make digging up the ground more difficult.
