"Brad Skinner and his team provide excellent services in the delivery and installation of 18 pallets of sod in my yard. He kept me informed on the timing of the delivery, called ahead to verify that i flagged the sprinkler heads, fully prepped the subsurface. Installation was done in one day. Power-washed our drive afterwards. He also offered the best pricing. Stand-up guy. Does what he says he will do plus more."

"Brad contacted me, met with me as planned. Looked at the job, gave me a quote, we set the date and time. He was in constant contact with me because of weather delays. The day of the job, Brad and crew arrived on time and prepared for the job. He completed the job ahead of schedule. They even did some extra work at no extra charge. Very professional and super nice group of guys. Already have him looking at my next project."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

It can take several weeks for the ground to settle after removing a tree, and the soil under larger, more mature trees can take months. The deeper the tree has been ground under the soil, the longer it will take to settle. However, this extra depth can help you plant new landscaping sooner because you’ll have more space for fresh soil.

Excavations take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time it takes to excavate an area depends on the size of the area, the type of soil, the type of excavator, and even the time of year, since winter can make digging up the ground more difficult.

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.

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.

Septic drain lines (or leach lines) are typically buried between 18 and 36 inches underground, and should be at least 6 inches below the surface. These pipes are perforated and surrounded by filtering materials like sand or gravel. Burying the lines at this depth helps minimize odors and allows bacteria and other biological processes in the soil to effectively treat the wastewater. Burying lines too close to the surface can cause issues unless the soil is very compact and stable.
