"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."

"Josh was great. I always knew status of the project and when he was on property working. Of course all projects have an unforeseen issue and Josh gave advice on how to handle the issue and sought out economical ways to overcome it. In the end he handled it like a pro and I was extremely happy with the end result. I am going to hire this company anytime I need excavating done."

"They cleared thick brush and saplings that had grown over the fence line for at least 10 years. They also built an 8X16 deck for my shed. My 1000 pound horse walked across it this morning and it was solid as a rock. They cleaned up the job site at the end and even did a little road work in the pasture. Excellent work. Dependable. Honest. I highly recommend Maxterra."

"Top notch land and lot clearing did a great job clearing my lots. They were very prompt in reaching out when I did an online inquiry. They had someone out to do an estimate the next day. I was able to book the job and they had equipment out with in the next two days to do the job. They were very reasonable with pricing that I was actually surprised. The two gentlemen that came out and did the work were very professional and seemed very experienced. I would recommend them to anyone."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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?

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?

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.

Helpful?

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.
