"Had a large stump & roots beneath grade.  Animals couldn't stop digging into it, and the sinkholes were a mess.  Pierce gave me an initial quote, but I wanted him to excavate well beyond the stump to make sure (if needed).  The full job, with my extra request, was to run about $1,400.  It was supposed to include grading of the surface with premium topsoil.
They came and did the job, but they only did the stump diameter (about 6 ft).  Pierce said they didn't feel we needed to go further.  Also said they didn't need any topsoil.  Said the area might settle a little as we go forward, and may need to add some soil in the future.  I thought that was a little odd, since that should have been anticipated with the original estimate.  So, I held off on this review to see how it would go.
It's been a few months, and things are going great.  Caught a vole digging out there the day after the job, but they must have realized the difference.  Haven't had an animal hole or sinking spot since.  I still think there might have been a mix up with the crew and the topsoil, but nonetheless, Pierce quickly took that amount off of the job.  He gives a great cash discount and, at the time at least, an Angie's list discount.  The whole thing cost only $500.
All in all, Pierce was very professional and responsive.  He is very quick to get back to you, and very prompt with the service.  He could have very easily done an inflated job at my request, rather he was very quick to give money back to me and say, "you didn't need that".  Had I known I could have corrected the major issue in my back yard for that price, I would have called Pierce a long time ago.  I would definitly use him again."

"I feel most fortunate that I chose the Greenstone Gardens Company. Family and friends use the same word when they see my new patio by Greenstone Gardens - magnificent!  And Greenstone Gardens was great to work with in every way. The design accommodated my home proportionally and stylistically very well. The demolition was swift and neat - great fun to watch the small Bobcats everyday.  The hardscaping included blue stone and "designer" concrete walls - which look beautiful together.  These men really know what they are doing and the quality of their work is excellent. In the space of 4 weeks that included a couple days off due to rain these men removed 400 square feet of concrete, excavated and shaped the land, installed 12 tons of blue stone, built two sets of EP Henry retaining walls, constructed two sets of stone stairs which included curved walls and openings, sunk 8 footers for the deck, installed low voltage lighting, expertly handled extensive drainage issues, and then finished off the project by installing 4000 square feet of sod. The crew were expert and I felt always had my best interests in mind when small and large decisions needed to be made when I was at work. I really appreciated that! The job was done timely and neatly.
The workmanship, attention to detail, quality and communication with me were outstanding.  Greenstone Gardens Company is a first-rate, family-owned and operated business which meant I was always talking to the caring, competent man in charge. I highly recommend them and their work.

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Some two-in-one tools and machines do both jobs, and those could be the right solution for smaller residential projects. However, the phrase “use the right tool for the job” definitely applies to digging. For the best results, get two separate tools for your trenching and landscape edging projects or call a pro to take care of everything for you.

Above ground pools are not buried in the ground. Typically, above ground pools are semi-permanent. One reason they’re more affordable is that you don’t have to dig for an inground pool and pour concrete or another material. However, you can choose to install a semi inground pool, which is a hybrid between the two.

A crawl space can be as little as 42 inches below the grade of your house, but this is not always recommended in flood-prone areas. At a minimum, there must be at least 16 inches of clearance between the ground and the floor joists to access the space in an emergency.

Excavation is priced in cubic yards, so you’ll need to find the volume of the area in order to calculate costs. Multiply the length, width, and proposed depth of your excavation site, then convert it into yards to get the volume. Multiply this figure by the price per cubic yard.

Most homeowners can measure by hand to get a rough estimate, even if it’s tedious. You may want to pull out a tape measure or use a string to help mark the area.

Depending on the severity of the freeze and the method used, thawing frozen underground pipes can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours. Applying heat directly to the pipe using heat tape, infrared lamps, or hot water jetting can speed up the process. However, patience and careful monitoring are key to avoiding pipe damage.
