"This is the second project I have used Hunter and Low Country Landscaping and as expected, they killed it. Awesome job!!! The project included clearing, bringing in good topsoil, sodding, spreading straw and doing some fencing. It changed an average back yard into an enjoyable outdoor living space (1st stage included a fire pit and paver patio) for Entertainment. I love it."

"I highly recommend Carolina Land and Debris! They did an outstanding job removing leaves from my property. They took a considerable amount of time, never cut corners and honored the estimate they originally gave me. They had to work around bad weather and were professional and thorough from start to finish. When they were done, my yard looked better than it has in years."

"John at JB's Lawn Care did a fantastic job re-grading our backyard and installing new sod. He and his team were polite and professional throughout the process. We knew we were going to hire him after he came out to quote the job. On top of it being a very reasonable quote, he took the time to explain in detail, our different options to increase our drainage in the back yard. He was happy to quote a few a la carte options such as French drains so that we would have time to think through what we wanted to purchase. The final product came out amazing! He and his team graded out back yard, helped the soft areas firm up by bringing in some stone to mix in with the soil, and then put some more top-fill and sod over it. He adjusted the sprinklers and gave us a watering schedule to help ensure success. We'd hire them again!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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. 

Water lines are buried at various depths, depending on the type of line. For example, most sprinkler lines are buried between four and 12 inches underground. On the other hand, water mains usually sit between one and 3 feet below ground. However, they can go even deeper in cold climates to prevent freezing.

No, you typically cannot use metal detectors to find your sewer line. Most sewer lines are made of non-metallic materials such as PVC, clay, or cast iron, which are not detectable by standard metal detectors. Metal detectors are designed to locate metallic objects, so they won't be effective for identifying the path of a non-metallic sewer line. To locate your sewer line accurately, it's best to use other methods.

Landscape edging is more DIYable than trenching. You can DIY your own digging projects, but proceed carefully and only with proper knowledge of the equipment and appropriate safety measures in place. Keep in mind the project's scope and estimate how long it will take you to do it on your own. While you can certainly save money by DIYing home improvement projects, you can’t exactly hide an unfinished—or worse, ruined— landscaping job from the neighbors. It’s always safer to call an excavation pro near you to get an estimate.

A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock.
