Groundhog Grading can handle a wide range of tasks. We specialize in gravel driveways for new construction AND ongoing maintenance. Erosion and water drainage solutions from French drains to complete reslope and precision grading. Land clearing and site prep for new construction. Bush hog AND finish mowing. Storm damage cleanup. Large tree work. Concrete cutting and demo. Firewood sales AND delivery. Retaining walls and MORE lol.. We are a family-owned small business. Friendly, knowledgeable, we treat you how we would want to be treated.

"We chose this company because of the reviews. Paid over $11,000 and still ended up with unfinished grading, high-risk tree work, cleanup, seeding, etc. The contractor repeatedly tried to change the scope, made multiple FAILED ATTEMPTS to UP-CHARGE for work already included, and consistently failed to follow through. We hired him in early October 2025 and gave him a Thanksgiving deadline, which he agreed to. When he thought we hadnt fully moved onto the property, he never showed up and our security cameras confirmed no activity. He later admitted he only sparingly put seeds down, which was shocking. He blamed weather, then claimed his tools were being borrowed. He even said giving him a deadline was rude. Had he said he couldnt commit, we never would have paid him. Unreliable, unprofessional, and deceitful. At the end of the day, he got paid for work he had no intention of completing. Thats the bottom line!"

At 828 Landscaping, we are a quality-driven business based in Western North Carolina, specializing in grading, landscaping, and a comprehensive range of outdoor services. Our team is dedicated to enhancing the beauty and functionality of your property, turning your outdoor space into a dream view.

"I’ve had difficulty finding someone to make repairs to my existing irrigation system. Everyone wants to install but not do repairs when a valve breaks or head needs replaced or there is a leak - seems to be a real shortage in the Hickory region of people who will do irrigation repairs. That was my problem until we found Austin with 828 Landscape. He is professional, a good communicator and is totally about finding the problem and fixing it. I almost hesitate to post this review because then he’ll get too busy to work on my system when I need him."

We guarantee your satisfaction and we won’t leave until the job is done right. We pride ourselves on the quality work we provide, while delivering great customer service!

"Fantastic job. Chris and his team took down three really large trees and after seeing their work we asked them to trim two other trees. Chris had given me a fair quote with the caveat that the largest tree might be a little more depending on how long it took to get it down. We are so happy with their work they are coming back later this month to take down another of our four story trees. They completely cleaned up the area removing all branches and tree trunks leaving the area neater than before they got there. Will certainly recommend them to anyone needing a fair, friendly and reliable company to take care of their tree removal needs."

"Cohen did an excellent job replacing our front yard sod and re-seeding the side/back yard. He had to re-grade our front yard to fix some issues that our builder created and did a great job smoothing that out. He also set us up for continued success with a maintenance schedule, and has been quick to respond to any questions we had. 1 month later and our yard is the best in the neighborhood."

Stone and Gravel questions, answered by experts

Yes, masonry is more expensive than concrete because the labor is much more involved. With masonry, your expert will build your project from the ground up, one piece at a time, ensuring they use the proper amount of mortar or grout during construction and keeping the project level or plumb. Pouring concrete can also be labor-intensive, but it’s a bit less involved. It requires building a mold, pouring the concrete, and letting it cure. The less intensive labor makes concrete a more affordable option in most cases.

Choose from an abundance of natural and synthetic options when perfecting your hardscape design. Stone veneer costs a bit less, holds up against the tests of time and weather, and also works best in curves and complex walls.

Natural stone, however, provides an organic look to a lawn while providing just as much strength as veneer. Don't forget you can chat with your mason about other common wall materials like brick, cinderblock, and concrete.

Brick is the closest choice when seeking to capture the timeless look of stone with a more practical and budget-friendly option. When comparing stone versus brick siding, the price range of $200,000 to $400,000 for average brick home construction is dramatically lower compared to the cost of building a stone home. If you'd like to keep the stone aesthetic without the cost, stone veneer and manufactured stone are both less expensive than real stone.

Masonry uses units like bricks, cement blocks, and stone with mortar between them. Mortar is generally made of sand and a type of cement. Examples of masonry include the brick or stone on a house, chimney, or freestanding wall. Concrete is a mixture of water, sand, stone aggregate, and other materials, and is poured into forms or moldings. Types of concrete applications include driveways, garage and basement floors, and poured concrete walls in basements and crawl spaces.

In certain cases, such as when dealing with surfaces like concrete rather than brick, grout can be used instead of mortar. Grout tends to be more convenient to work with on non-masonry surfaces. However, many experts suggest using mortar whenever possible, as it provides stronger adherence to the bricks and results in a more textured appearance.
