"We contacted Pierce L. Shallis Landscaping after doing some research and reading online reviews. We needed landscape remediation as water was building up in the front side of our house (during heavy rain) and wanted a new flower bed as well. I contacted them and they got back to me right away. Pierce came out to take a look and after talking to him, I was confident he had the expertise to do the work. To no surprise, he and his crew did a fantastic job. I defaulted to his opinion about what plants would look great in the flower bed. My only request was a small Japanese maple. The communication was great from start to finish. I would highly recommend this company to anyone as they are both knowledgeable and professional. When hiring Pierce L. Shallis, you will have peace of mind that they will get the job done right."

"We had 4 estimates for our lawn renovation and stone installation project. We were immediately impressed with Scott, salesman/project manager. His knowledge and suggestions helped us decide what we wanted for our outdoor space. We knew we wouldnâ t take the lowest bid if we could afford GroundScapeâ s estimate. Weather plays a major role in scheduling outside work to be done. Because it rained all weekend before our project start date, we had to wait and we blamed the Weather Man! When GroundScape could come and get our project started, they came with all hands on deck. They did/do exceptional work. They are all the adjectives you want from a company, professional, honest, hard-working, knowledgeable, etc. We are very pleased with the quality of their work and with the results of our project. We highly recommend themâ ¦Thank you GroundScape!"

"We had an urgent job with a large broken tree branch in our front yard. We also had 3 tree stumps requiring removal, but we delayed removal because of fear the equipment would damage our lawn. Blue Cord has light equipment that removed the stumps without damaging our ground. Highly satisfied with the end results."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Preparation involves site assessment, clearing debris, grading surfaces, and compacting soil to support stable construction.

The best type of soil to build on is a mixture of sand and clay, known as loam soil. Loam soil has the best combination of these soil types to build a foundation on. The clay particles help with water retention, so it won’t erode like sandy soil might, and the sandy particles help with drainage, so you won’t see unsafe soil expansion or have an increased risk of leaks from water sitting against your foundation.

The cost to repair a crawl space runs between $1,500 and $15,000, depending on the extent of the damage. Major flooding or water repairs can cost up to $10,000 for removal and repairs. If you simply need to clean your crawl space, expect to pay between $2,000 and $6,000 for a major cleanout. Replacing a crawl space beam due to rot or damage can cost between $1,500 and $5,000, while removing and replacing damaged insulation costs between $1,000 and $4,000.

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.

Digging a bush up by the roots is the most natural DIY method for removing a bush stump. Start by identifying the shrub type and revealing its roots. Cut the shrub to its base and loosen the soil, ensuring no utility lines are nearby. Optionally, treat the base with herbicide, then dig around the roots and cut a circle around the shrub using various tools. Dig a trench, cut the base of the root ball, and finally fill the hole to prevent regrowth. This thorough process ensures complete removal without damaging surrounding areas.
