"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 perc test can take anywhere from one to eight hours to complete. The total time depends on factors like the amount of excavation required, the depth and width of the holes, and whether multiple test holes are needed. For a single hole, the process of filling it with water and monitoring the drainage rate usually takes less than an hour. Professionals can often complete the entire test in a single day. While it's possible to get results the same day, some companies may take a few days to provide the official report.

To determine whether your homeowners' insurance will cover crawl space repair, consider the cause of the issue. Repair may be covered if the problems were caused by an event that the insurance covers, such as vandalism or a windstorm. However, companies won't cover the repair if the issues are caused by neglect or wear and tear.

Underground downspouts refer to the sections of downspout extensions that lead away from your home and gutter system. While they cost more than traditional extensions, they can provide several benefits, such as less frequent damage and no need to move them for lawn care tasks. Whether they're worth it or not depends on your budget at installation time and how much convenience they'll add to your situation.

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

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.
