"Ryan removed some tress from my yard. He was prompt and professional and very reasonably priced. He took extra care to not disturb the existing lawn with the equipment. Went above and beyond to clear the area of all debris. Would highly recommend."

"They came while I was at work, so I havenâ t met anyone, but Dustin texted and sent pictures. They cleaned all of the leaves and other tree debris from our yard and gutters, trimmed back some shrubs and removed one that has outgrown its spot. My wife and I were quite pleased. Weâ ve just moved into this new home, and weâ ve got many chores yet to do. Sharp Edge really helped us out. They even did a bit more than we asked for. Iâ ll definitely call them again. I believe they earned their money, and I believe the cost was fair."

"Top Ten Land Services is BEYOND Outstanding! Michael contacted us after we'd been given estimates from other companies ranging from $400-$800 to spread out a dump truck load of wood chips from Chip Drop (10-12 cubic yards). Although the quote for $400 from the other company was very gracious, it was still way over our budget of $200. Instead of laughing at us when we told him our budget, Michael asked the job location. It was only 9 minutes from a big project he had scheduled that day. He said he'd be happy to take care of it for us at such a low rate because it was so close to his big project that day. He arrived promptly at 8:30 am, and with amazing care and skill, spread the wood chips around a large tree and dog kennel for us. He was finished and on his way by 9 am! I can't praise Michael with Top Ten Land Services enough! Before he rescued us, we had already worked for hours on that pile manually-and hadn't made a dent. God BLESS Top Ten. DON'T hire until you talk to Michael!"

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

Downspouts should be buried at least 5 to 10 feet away from your foundation. This can vary depending on your local building codes, soil type, and property slope. The main goal is to ensure water is directed away from your foundation.

Trenching is a specific kind of digging. Trenching means digging a depression in the earth that’s deeper than it is wide, often with heavy machinery. Digging refers to any kind of removal of earth in order to create a human-made depression, hole, or cut in the earth’s surface. You can dig with big tools or even with just a hand shovel.

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.

In the United States, a depth of 36 inches (three feet) for underground water lines is the accepted industry standard. This depth varies from location to location based on local conditions. In areas with colder winters, they may be buried deeper to prevent frozen well water pipes : This is usually at least six inches below the frost level. The International Plumbing Code calls for a minimum of 12 inches below grade.

If you have a broken sprinkler pipe underground, there will be some signs you can easily spot to locate it and take action. These include leaks, water spouts, flooding, consistently damp areas on your lawn, low water pressure, and grass around the sprinkler head that’s taller and darker than anywhere else in the yard. 

If there are no obvious signs of a broken pipe, you can use tools such as water leak mics, leak noise loggers, audio devices that record leaks, and acoustic testing links. 

Broken pipes can lead to uneven watering, plant damage, and higher utility bills. The longer you wait to fix them the more the repair cost may be.
