I take my job very very seriously and I am determined to make sure each and every customer is 100% satisfied and that the work I’ve provided has given them the desire they were wanting. I am a follower of Christ show up on time and do as the customer pleases to the best of my ability. My goal in the work force is to make sure I make an impact in this world and to make sure everyone is happy. Thank you

"Jeff and his crew were quick and very professional. They installed 3500 sq. ft. of sod in my back yard and it looks great. They came in and worked very quickly and professionally and was finished with the job in a very timely manner. The quality of sod was exceptional and I would definitely recommend them to anyone for their landscaping needs. I will definitely be contacting them for future landscaping needs."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Yes. A metal detector is one of the quickest and easiest ways to find your septic tank. However, metal detectors can be too expensive (costing upward of $300 in some cases), and not everyone has a metal detector just lying around. If that’s the case for you, you can also take a long metal rod and poke it into the ground at regular intervals until you hit something—likely your septic tank lid.

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.

Yes, an excavation company is the best option for land grading and yard leveling. General landscapers might be able to tackle these projects, but an excavation company will do a better job because they’re used to operating the necessary heavy machinery. Landscapers might opt to do the work manually, which takes much longer and could cost you more in labor fees. Finally, excavation companies will understand local regulations and know when you need permits to legalize the work, while a landscaper might not.

A walk-behind trencher can cut through roots as long as they’re not too thick, making a project much easier than digging with a shovel and other hand tools. Assess your terrain and the number of trees in the surrounding area to determine if a walk-behind trencher will ease the job. Digging a trench by hand is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive. 

You should dig 3 to 6 inches deep for plastic edging. Dig as wide as you need to fit your plastic edging into it—2 inches is usually sufficient.
