"Easy to get in touch with owner, Jose. Many years as an established customer. Follows through with all lawn care maintenance on a timely schedule. Crew is very respectful of our property as they mow, edge/ trim and blow off the debris. They tend to the weed cleanup, as needed. At the proper seasonal times, we have all shrubs, rose bushes, crepe myrtles pruned. Pine straw application at the proper time. Very attentive to all our lawn care needs. Hope to continue our lawn care relationship well into the future. Try them for your lawn care needs. You will not be disappointed!"

"?????????? Excellent Land Clearing Service! I couldn?t be happier with the land clearing work done by Ag Site Services. From start to finish, they were professional, efficient, and easy to work with. The crew showed up on time, had all the right equipment, and got the job done faster than I expected ? without cutting any corners. They cleared several acres of thick brush and trees on my property, and the results are incredible. Everything was cleaned up neatly, and they even graded the ground to make it look smooth and ready for the next phase of my project. The price was fair, and the quality of work was top-notch. If you?re looking for reliable land clearing done the right way, I highly recommend Ag Site Services. They exceeded my expectations in every way!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Generally, a trenchless sewer line is worth the cost. If your old system needs replacement, trenchless sewer repair or replacement can save you thousands on excavation costs. Every homeowner’s situation is different, but this method is definitely worth it in a lot of cases.

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.

After you successfully remove your boulder, you have a few options for what to do to get rid of it. You can rent a dumpster if your yard has many boulders or if you’re planning a larger project. You can even save the boulder and reuse it elsewhere on your property to save on landscaping costs. A few ideas include using the boulder as a natural, abstract statue, breaking it into smaller pieces to line your garden bed, or offering it to a landscaping company that could reuse it for another project.

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.

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.
