"Outstanding work, respectful and professional crew, easy to work with, very fair pricing. They did a lot of excavating and spreading of dirt & gravel, built a beautiful rock wall along with site prep for a shop spot. We would hire them again, we highly recommended this company,"

"They put in new drains and a dry well for our driveway, carport, and front yard. When the first dry well wasn't large enough to hold all the runoff from a heavy storm, they came back and added a second for free. Excellent customer service, very responsive, good work."

"I was once were you are at - searching the internet wondering if this contractor was the right one for the job. In Short: Go hire him (right now) before his schedule fills up -- then come back to this review and read why you just made a great decision. This is a clean-cut young man with excellent skills and runs a business the way it should be run. In a world of shady contractors, Eric is a undiscovered gem. He won't be the cheapest bid, but he certainly does an honest day’s work for an honest day’s pay -- I had no issues writing him a check. Eric poured a concrete driveway for my trailer, which included posts for a fence, and a graveled area. We agreed on a price, set a project start date, duration, and everything went as planned. The quality was outstanding! Whether you're a home owner or looking for a sub-contractor - Eric is your man. He lets you know when to expect him on the job site, the work to be done for the day, assures you are always on the same page, and keeps you informed throughout the project. I watched as the driveway was poured (I was curious as to the process) and overheard the cement truck and concrete pumping guys talking. They were impressed on how easy Eric made their jobs. How everyone was there on time, Eric explained how the pour was going to proceed, and there weren't any delays – Guys Luv it when they can get-in, get-out, and get-on to the next job. From the moment the cement starts pouring - the clock is ticking before it hardens. It's impressive to see Eric work cement, form the driveway, and orchestrate 5 other guys -- all at the same time. It can be a stressful time, but Eric was a Kool-Kat who had a handle on everything. I work in technology where perfection is the expectation, so I pay attention to the details. I also work as a project manager, so I know how difficult it is to make sure all the moving parts mesh together seamlessly. After reading the other reviews and watching Eric work - It's clear to see... A little bit of Eric goes into each of his projects and you can see his sense of pride in a serving others with a job well done."

"Replacement 830 sq ft driveway for $9400 J. A. Holland construction gave me a new amazing, perfect, flawless driveway of 830sqft for $9400. This included a drainage system under the driveway from gutter downspouts detouring water away from the driveway, a light grey tint added to the concrete, demo removing the old driveway, correcting a slope, inspections, the concrete and a finish with a brushed texture. Reasons why I chose this company out of 6 bidders: 1. By checking CCB license through Oregon Construction Contractors Board using google. Thomas Holland, owner, has had the same license, unblemished, for over 10 years. Some of the others had their license for less than a year or had consumer complaints, problems attached to their license. 2. Thomas has an eye for potential problems and was the only one to suggest a drainage system under the driveway to collect water from the gutter of this old home. 3. Thomas does the work along with his crew, very important to me as I have had bad experiences with the contractor who has multiple jobs, sends a crew unsupervised. Example: One plumber decided he was not going to do a section of plumbing, signed off the job and had I not been there reporting him, that section of plumbing I paid for would have not been done. 4. I found over 10 great 'real' reviews on J.A. Holland Construction. could find no reviews or very little on the other bidders. 5. First impression of Thomas is an all around 'good' guy, straight forward, no phony sales pitch. 6. The price. Thomas came in low, tied exactly with another low bid, and this great price with the under driveway drainage system. The job: Demo: Took only 2 days and what a performance as neighbors also watched in awe, the street lined with heavy machinery in order of use and so organized as as the old concrete was lifted, put in the vehicle to be disposed of, gravel was put in place. Thomas is a master of heavy vehicle machinery, used a generous amount of gravel and had the job cleaned up by 5pm both days. 2. Forms installed, passed inspection. 3. The concrete pour was just as smooth and also passed inspection without incident. On one walkway I had done by another company, very little gravel was used and I noticed later a slight yellowish tan stain had appeared, found none of this with the work from Thomas, and believe it is because of the generous layer of gravel. In fact, I can not find one irregularity in the concrete."

"Daniel was awesome to work with. He came out and provided a solid estimate in a timely fashion. We had an unexpected sprinkler line that was in the middle of our excavation area and he took care of that. He also provided the materials for a retaining wall that we hadn't initially planned for, and he added that to the project scope without issue. I will definitely reach out to Daniel if we have another project like this one."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.

Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.

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.

Hardscaping often requires preparation of the ground in the area where the feature is being installed. This can include digging, compacting, and leveling the soil, ensuring adequate drainage, and removing any existing plants. The extent of preparation needed will depend on the type and size of the hardscaping feature being installed.

Excavations take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time it takes to excavate an area depends on the size of the area, the type of soil, the type of excavator, and even the time of year, since winter can make digging up the ground more difficult.

It’s possible to transplant trees as tall as 50 feet when an experienced tree planting service uses the right equipment. However, a tree with a trunk larger than two or three inches in diameter needs to be handled by a professional in order to yield successful transplanting results. Consulting a tree planting professional is the best way to tell if your large tree can be safely transplanted.
