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 hadn?t fully moved onto the property, he never showed up?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 couldn?t 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. That?s 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."

Stone and Gravel questions, answered by experts

Whether you’re installing brick siding over a traditionally-framed home or you’re using genuine brick construction to build, the biggest downside of a brick house is the higher cost you’ll pay for the materials and labor. Real brick construction also means your home build will take longer, as it’s more time-consuming to construct brick walls than it is to frame out your home.

Mortar and thinset both serve the same purpose—tile adhesion—but have different compositions and use-cases. Thinset is heatproof and presents a wide range of possibilities due to the added polymers. Mortar is typically used for bonding stones and brick. Thinset is rarely used outside, while mortar is rarely used inside.

Minor hairline cracks in mortar are normal over time. This is a natural occurrence as bricks settle. You should worry about cracks in brick if you see vertical cracks that widen as they move up, stair-step cracks, L-shaped cracks, or deep horizontal cracks. These are all more serious signs of foundation damage.

Painted exterior brick does not usually need sealing. Brick is a porous material, so you don’t want to apply a sealant that could trap moisture inside the bricks and cause erosion and structural damage. The risk of moisture-induced damage after sealing is higher in colder climates where trapped moisture can expand if it freezes. On the other hand, it makes sense to seal really old brick or kitchen backsplashes, where moisture from cooking can weaken the brick.

Modern brick homes have a brick facade over standard framing and sheathing, so the brick offers minimal added structural stability. A home with traditional brick construction is more durable than a stick-built home, as the double-layer brick walls and rebar resist higher lateral wind loads and support heavier loads up top, as well.
