"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."

"Chris Miller was an absolute professional from beginning to end on our large landscaping project. He was very responsive with any questions and got back to me immediately, whenever I reached out during the process. Our project involved more than 80 feet of palms and ligustrum trees that had to be planted perfectly. Chris and his team, took their time and executed flawlessly- we couldn’t be more pleased with the result."

"I hired Steven to reconfigure my existing irrigation system. We quickly realized that I needed more than that. I had non working & poorly placed sprinkler heads. Steven made sure that my system was not only effective but it was better than when it was originally installed. This job was in the middle of summer with temperatures exceeding 100 degrees. He worked all day in this heat & he took very few breaks. He is a professional, extremely talented & a hard worker. I have more landscape projects to do in the future & without hesitation I will have Steven do these."

"I need to get more pictures but these guys did a great job. They flagged it and walked it with me. They helped me clear property line boundaries and created amazing shooting lanes at each stand spot. They arrive early and stay busy working and had machines that didn’t break down or get stuck like others have. I highly recommend these guys! Top notch for sure!"

"Southern Acres Landscape and Design exceeded expectations from start to finish. We hired them for a paver patio and drainage, and the entire process was smooth, organized and professional. They showed up when they said they would, excommunicated clearly throughout the project, and delivered exactly what was promised. The craftsmanship was excellent and you can tell they take pride in their work. I was very pleased with Southern Acres, and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a landscaping and hardscaping company around the Summerville area that wants a company which does things the right way, and stands by their work."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

The rules for trenching and excavation include setting up and following safety protocols, learning how to use tools and machines properly, and ensuring there is a safe exit for all workers. Keep heavy equipment and materials away from the edge of the hole or trench. Call the 811 dig line before starting any excavation or trenching project to ensure you don’t hit any electrical or gas lines.

You can dig 60 to 80 linear feet by hand per day depending on the depth. Digging a 100-foot trench by hand will take you two work days, but it can take longer if you have heavy or rocky soil. If you’re digging a deep trench or one that’s over 100 feet, consider renting a mechanical trencher, such as a walk-behind or ride-on, or calling a pro for help. 

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.

Your contractor should handle dust control during the project. It's best to speak with your contractor beforehand to check if they plan to cover your furniture, protect your vents, or use fans to redirect dust. Eliminating drywall dust is a particularly large challenge during construction, so always take this into account during your planning phase.

To drill a shallow well, you may be able to use a drive well point. This is a tapered point that is driven into the ground. A drill bit at the end of PVC pipe may be another option to consider. A lot of the cost depends on what tools are available near you.
