"All Trax was absolutely fantastic to work with, I wish we had found them first! They were incredibly responsive, understanding, and made sure the project direction and outcome were completed as we envisioned. They took the time to walk through a ton of options with us to ensure we had the best result at the best price. I would highly recommend All Trax to anyone in the area who needs excavation, a new gravel road/driveway, or driveway/road repair!"

"WOW!! Itâ s so rare to find a company that exceeds your expectations, but this was our experience from start to finish with Carolina Grading & Land Clearing! Tim & Alisa are a dynamic duo, good communicators, punctual and have a great team of motivated, professional workers. Gary, the lead on our project, was phenomenal! He listened to what we were hoping to accomplish on our land, offered suggestions and then followed through to masterfully transform our property! There is no doubt due to their accumulative expertise in land development the money we spent for land clearing and grading not only made our property more usable, but it greatly increased the overall value of our property. Talk about a WIN-WIN! Thank you Carolina Grading team!!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, you can technically make a crawl space liveable, but the only way to do so is by converting it into a basement. While some crawl spaces are big enough to walk through and store large items, they lack appropriate insulation and space to be liveable.

Your contractor should handle dust control during the project. It's best to speak with your contractor beforehand to check if they plan to cover your furniture, protect your vents, or use fans to redirect dust. Eliminating drywall dust is a particularly large challenge during construction, so always take this into account during your planning phase.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

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.
