"I cannot say enough good things about this land clearing service! From start to finish, the crew was professional, efficient, and incredibly thorough. They arrived on time with well-maintained equipment and got right to work, treating my property with care as if it were their own. What impressed me most was the attention to detail—not only did they clear the land exactly as requested, but they also made sure to remove debris, smooth out rough areas, and leave the site looking clean and ready for the next stage of my project. Communication was excellent throughout; I always knew what to expect and felt confident in their expertise. Their team worked quickly without cutting corners, and the results far exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend this company to anyone needing land cleared. They delivered exceptional quality, fair pricing, and true professionalism every step of the way."

"It was great doing business with Darryl. My project was to prepare for a garage build so it was on the smaller side. It was challenging to get anyone to actually look at my lot to give me an accurate estimate. Others were just giving me generic estimates based on a picture. Darryl showed up and took measurements and provided an accurate estimate. It was less than half as other estimates."

"Don promptly returned my call for service of my septic tank. I called on a Friday afternoon, and the work was performed on Tuesday morning. He charged a reasonable price and did a very professional job. His assistant Donald, was also very professional. The work took approximately half an hour and was done very efficiently.

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Trenching is a specific kind of digging. Trenching means digging a depression in the earth that’s deeper than it is wide, often with heavy machinery. Digging refers to any kind of removal of earth in order to create a human-made depression, hole, or cut in the earth’s surface. You can dig with big tools or even with just a hand shovel.

Digging out a basement takes anywhere from a few days to a few months. Most projects take at least two to five weeks, but it could take several months if you encounter obstacles. This project takes longer if you need to brace or raise your home before the excavation. Digging out a basement in new construction can take as little as three days.

To locate an underground downspout, you should start by identifying where the above ground gutter drains. Look for an entry point, such as a pipe or elbow leading into the ground. Follow the surface path for signs like depressions, landscaping disruptions, or wet areas after rain. You can use a metal detector or plumber’s snake to trace the pipe underground. For deeper pipes, a professional locator tool or camera inspection may be necessary. Visual markers or utility maps can also guide the search.

Septic drain lines (or leach lines) are typically buried between 18 and 36 inches underground, and should be at least 6 inches below the surface. These pipes are perforated and surrounded by filtering materials like sand or gravel. Burying the lines at this depth helps minimize odors and allows bacteria and other biological processes in the soil to effectively treat the wastewater. Burying lines too close to the surface can cause issues unless the soil is very compact and stable.

Excavation and grading are both generally necessary for designing your foundation, and leveling the ground where your foundation will go. These steps can also prepare the area by removing vegetation and anything else that could interfere with your home’s foundation.
