"The job was priced well and the work was great. The trees were near my house and they robed the branches and trees down with no damage to the house or the ground. No cranes to cause damage to my front yard either."

"Great Experience! I contacted G&G Landscaping to help me clean up and landscape my front garden area. They responded right away we talked about my ideas and then met with me to discuss the details. I got the estimate the next day and was told they could get me in the following day to get it done. They came when they said they would they were professional, got all the work done in one day and it looks fantastic! It is exactly what I wanted. They even weeded out some extra areas and got flowers put in. When I got back from work everything was cleaned up so well you wouldn't have known anyone was there doing work that day. Highly recommended. I would hire again for sure."

Customers say: Quality work

"I had to follow up two to three times to get the date set to start the job. The job was done fairly quickly and satisfied with outlook. However, they left trim and rods in the yard from drainage bed. My expectation is for a hired company to clean up afterward."

"Very well. Mike and crew were prompt, diligent, and hard working. Mike communicated well before and during the job. We had a young tree planted and some clearing and planting of several bushes as a backyard border. Clean up and overall appearance are great. Can't wait till spring!"

"Brendan was friendly and very quick to respond. He gave a few options at different price points for a gravel driveway and the estimates were very detailed. He was able to schedule it quickly and had everything done in a day while still being a perfectionist. I will be using him in the future and recommending him to others!"

"Devon and his crew were professional, courteous and dedicated to providing the best quality of work. They showed up when promised and their work on spring clean up, mulching, trimming shrubs, edging, and tree removal left the property looking like a magazine photo for high end landscaping. We highly recommend Devon and his crew and will use them for all our future projects."

"I hired Mike to remove a 150 ft row of overgrown brush that had an old fence running in the middle. The day of the job Mike arrived on time and had all the proper equipment for the job. He was able to complete this job in a day. After the removal he added top soil and graded my lawn so now the water runs to the road and doesn’t pool in my yard. He listen to what I wanted and gave his advice and I am thrilled with the result. I would highly recommend Mike."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Landscape edging is more DIYable than trenching. You can DIY your own digging projects, but proceed carefully and only with proper knowledge of the equipment and appropriate safety measures in place. Keep in mind the project's scope and estimate how long it will take you to do it on your own. While you can certainly save money by DIYing home improvement projects, you can’t exactly hide an unfinished—or worse, ruined— landscaping job from the neighbors. It’s always safer to call an excavation pro near you to get an estimate.

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.

The time it takes to build a pool—and dig out the area—varies based on the pool size and type. A professional excavator will take between four and eight hours to dig a pool. The process will take longer if they encounter large boulders or tree roots. Keep in mind that this is a small part of the process in the long run. You will need between eight and 12 weeks to build a pool from start to finish, including the time to apply for permits.

Yes. A metal detector is one of the quickest and easiest ways to find your septic tank. However, metal detectors can be too expensive (costing upward of $300 in some cases), and not everyone has a metal detector just lying around. If that’s the case for you, you can also take a long metal rod and poke it into the ground at regular intervals until you hit something—likely your septic tank lid.

There are many ways to cut through roots when digging, especially if your trencher doesn’t seem to be removing the roots. First, use a shovel to expose the roots. Then, use gardening shears to clear out smaller roots or a reciprocating saw to remove larger plant roots. If you plan on keeping the plant, avoid cutting any roots over 2 inches thick.
