"I had ABS come out to clean up and refresh our backyard, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Their quote was very reasonable compared to other options we considered, and they were extremely responsive throughout the entire process. They showed up when they said they would, worked efficiently, and did a fantastic job clearing everything out and laying pine straw. The attention to detail really made a difference, and the yard looks better than it has in years. If you’re looking for a landscaping company that provides great communication, fair pricing, and high-quality work, I highly recommend ABS. We’ll definitely be using them again in the future."

"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."

"Joel is a consummate professional who cares about the client and about the work. He doesn't stop until the job is complete and the client 110% satisfied! Clearing land and moving trees around a family home that needed dirt brought in, built up, leveled off and trees moved to ensure that water flows away from the house and that there is a pleasing space around the home. A man of integrity, good will, and a great sense of humor! And he cleans up! More than a fair price. We're sharing his name with everyone we know."

Small jobs welcome

"my paint was peeling off the wainscotting and he came and found a solution to the bond the paint to the wainscotting and repainted my entire large family room. He was precise and got the job done quickly. He cleaned everything up and moved back the furniture. I am very happy with the job! It came out better than the previous professional painter I had hired. I wish he would have done the original job. He also did small odd jobs such as mulching and it was done quickly as well."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

It’s possible to transplant trees as tall as 50 feet when an experienced tree planting service uses the right equipment. However, a tree with a trunk larger than two or three inches in diameter needs to be handled by a professional in order to yield successful transplanting results. Consulting a tree planting professional is the best way to tell if your large tree can be safely transplanted.

Yes, you can excavate in the winter, but it might make the job harder. Frozen ground is harder to dig, and snow or ice can make the work site more hazardous. A contractor may need special equipment and techniques, such as ground-thawing methods, to break through frozen soil. Although winter excavation is possible, it may take longer and be more costly than excavating during warmer months.

Slab foundations are more affordable than crawl spaces because they require minimal excavation, as the slab sits directly on the ground or on footers that only sink a few feet into the ground. Crawl spaces require excavation of the entire footprint of the home to several feet below the surface. Not only does that mean higher labor costs, but more materials are necessary for the concrete foundation walls.

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.

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.
