"P&M did work on our front yard gardens and installed new gardens in our back yard. Their workmanship and our finished garden areas are beautiful. They worked quick yet were efficient and thorough. The rock wall edging around the front garden is exactly what we wanted as well as the edging and plants they chose and planted. Give them an idea of what you want done and they will build upon it and give you a great finished product. They definitely take pride in their work. Don’t hesitate to give them a call…. you won’t be disappointed."

"We had to have all the sewer/drain lines replaced under our concrete slab. After the plumbing company finished their work, Jose and his team removed the excess dirt in the trenches, placed crushed stone, and poured 4" of concrete in about 30 feet of trenches. They cleaned up everything after they were done. Very pleased with Jose and his teamn."

"I used HomeAdvisor to find a landscape gardener after previously using two local landscape companies that proved to be very disappointing, with their level of service and the work they did. Harrison Childers, the owner of Level Cut Lawn & Landscapes LLC. called me regarding my inquiry. I had arranged to have them come out and quote me for the job I needed carrying out, along with another company who did not even bother to turn up for their appointment. I found Harrison to be very professional from the onset, he called ahead of time the morning of his appointment to confirm what time he would be with me, and again to say he was running a little late and how far away he was. When he arrived we discussed the project, which was to remove all the pine needles around our property, adding a layer of top soil and then add black mulch. I then received a quote via my email the very next day. The builders did a terrible job of at the back of my garden where conifers where planted. They left a ton of lumpy clay heaped up in piles around the trees, and the ground around them was very uneven. Harrison removed all the old pine needles, leveled it all out and broke up all the clay. They then laid new top soil, and mulch. I also wanted some flower beds widening and all the edges around the garden tidying up. We had some area's that also needed to be repaired with new sod, which Harrison did a lovely job of repairing. The job was completed without being rushed and I was more than satisfied with the work carried out, and how reasonable the price was. Both my husband and I decided to give Harrison the work due to his impeccable manners, and because we could tell from speaking with him how passionate he was about his work. I am a little OCD and that didn't faze him one bit. He worked very hard to make my garden look picture perfect. I am now looking forward to planting up my boarders, which now look amazing, with beautiful deep clean, straight edges. We will definitely be using Level Cut Lawn & Landscapes in the future for all our garden maintenance, throughout the coming year. I would not hesitate to recommend Level Cut Lawn & Landscapes to anyone who is looking for a landscape gardener who takes pride in his work, and his company's good reputation."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

Maintain open communication and address issues as they arise, ensuring contract terms cover potential delays.

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.

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even for projects that only involve grading or yard leveling. Permit requirements depend on your local government and the scope of the project, but they are especially common for significant digging or work that could affect utilities or public property. These permits help protect the local topography and prevent drainage issues. An experienced excavation company will typically know whether permits are needed and can often handle the process of pulling and closing them for you. You can also verify permit requirements by contacting your local building department and describing your project.

If you’re planning to dig on your property, you’ll need to check for underground utility lines. Call the national call-before-you-dig 811 number. Once connected to an operator, you can schedule a site visit to mark underground lines. This way, you won’t accidentally dig into pipes and can cause major (read: costly) issues.

Yes, you can install a trench drain if you already have concrete in your yard or garden. While it can complicate some aspects of the job and slightly run up the cost, it is doable. Residential trench drains can be easily retrofitted to outdoor areas with concrete without having to remove excessive amounts of your patio, pool area, or decorative walkways.
