"We are in our 80’s and decided we needed to make our flower beds smaller and more manageable. At this time, we had at least 15 large beds and they were all full of weeds. Since we could no longer maintain these beds, we started searching for a landscaping company that could take care of all this for us. We went through a website called Angi and found several names to choose from. We selected Ground Breakers Landscaping & Demolition. The owner of this business is Sean Griffin. Sean responded immediately, gave us an estimate, we accepted, and he went straight to work. Not only did he and his crew do what we paid for (edging, mulching, weeding, planting grass where needed), they went above and beyond (to make everything look good), mulching around our trees, cleaning out an area of our backyard and putting in mulch and gravel, and made our fire pit area very nice. After showing us what he could do, we hired him to clean out an overgrown area along our driveway and he did an exceptional job with that as well. We are very pleased with Ground Breakers Landscaping & Demolition, especially with Sean. He is a very knowledgeable and caring individual who goes above and beyond what is expected of him. We purchased flowers from Sean, at a discount, Everything is just what we expected, and more. We will be having him, and his crew come back monthly to do the upkeep on our gardens."

"Chris with Friesen Family Renovations, LLC was very professional and thorough in the work he has completed. He installed a new screen door, replaced my tub stem and faucet, repaired my subfloor in the kitchen and installed brand new LVP flooring to replace old and water damaged flooring. He also mounted a television for me, and did some drywall repairs as well. I would recommend this business to anyone looking for quality and dependable work!"

"The driveway turned out nicely. However, the contractor did not call before digging and cut a main cable tv line. We have buried power lines in our neighborhood and this could have been much worse."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

Completing excavating projects provides immediate relief from basement flooding by correcting poor drainage before the heavy OH snow season begins. Acting quickly also stabilizes your foundation against damaging freeze-thaw cycles. Over the long term, proper grading prevents heavy clay soils from shifting and settling. Upgrading drainage systems also keeps your property compliant with local stormwater regulations and protects your home's overall structural integrity.

Helpful?

When hiring professionals for excavating, prioritize contractors with extensive experience handling Chardon’s heavy clay and glacial till soils. Verify that they carry general liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage. Ask for local references from similar drainage or foundation projects. A qualified contractor will use appropriate tracked equipment to minimize ground disturbance and understand how to navigate the narrow scheduling windows caused by harsh winter weather.

Helpful?

Before requesting excavating services, document your property boundaries with a recent survey and locate your septic system map if applicable. Note any existing drainage issues or standing water caused by Chardon’s heavy clay soils. You must also call Ohio 811 to mark utilities and record your ticket number. Finally, check your zoning district and document whether your lot sits near a regulated wetland or floodplain.

Helpful?

Directing roof runoff from downspouts toward recently backfilled areas accelerates soil erosion. Piling heavy snow against your foundation or over drainage installations overwhelms the system during the spring melt. Driving or parking vehicles over excavated zones compacts the wet OH clay, causing severe settling. You must also avoid planting deep-rooted trees near utility trenches and remember to clear drainage outlets after every winter to prevent blockages.

Helpful?

Start by scheduling your utility marking well in advance of your planned start date. Secure all required municipal permits before scheduling your contractor. Plan your excavating work for late spring through early fall to avoid Chardon’s deep frost and heavy snow. Assess your site's drainage patterns during a rain event and communicate with neighbors about any shared drainage easements to prevent delays once digging begins.
