"Woodrum Landscaping and Design did a great job with our landscaping project. Pattie was terrific to work with. She and her team were very thorough and professional. They did everything that they said they would do regarding the project. The price we paid was a very fair price for all of the work that was done. I would definitely hire them again."

"Caleb and his buddy really went above and beyond with my project! Their rates were fair for the amount of work they did, and they provided a lot of helpful input along the way. They were also super quick to respond, arriving on time and doing a really thorough job. Since this was my first time using a tree removal service, I was a bit skeptical at first, but they reassured me and made sure I had everything I needed before and after the job. I was truly impressed by their hardworking attitude and attention to detail before they finished. I definitely recommend their services for any home projects—you'll be glad you did! Thanks so much, guys—you really rock!"

"Martin and his crew did a great job removing excess dirt, building a retaining wall and grading out our very unusable backyard space. He checked with us on every step of the project to make sure he was on track with our vision, and made adjustments as necessary. We will definitely call Martin and use Chickamauga Construction for our next big construction project."

"I hired Shawn and company to clean up 5 acres in Scottsboro. The previous company came in stole my wood and left a disaster that caused flooding and slope damage. Shawn came in at a affordable price, cleared, resloped and planted and in less than a week and made it beautiful. This was a huge job since the previous company used a logging compay to come in and steal the wood. When we caught them it was too late but they left in a hurry and left droped trees and loggs everywhere. We had terrible wash out and property you could not even enjoy. Shawn came in and fixed it and called keeping in touch every day they were working and the men he sent to work were wonderful. Walter and his son were professional and extreamly friendly, I really missed them when they were done. We have hired him for more work. They are wonderful! I have before and after pictures if you want to call me 440-949-2106, I will be glad to show anyone interested. GREAT PEOPLE - GREAT JOB Becky and John"

"Amazing service and quality construction. We were looking for a deck and outdoor kitchen combo that would maximize the space in our small yard. Hunter helped us personalize our space by building both and the final project turned out great. He was more than willing to accommodate our needs and worked with us to design a custom solution that involved multiple tiers, mounting two slides on the deck, and constructing an outdoor kitchen. It was awesome to have someone that could do everything we wanted."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

No, a ditch isn’t a trench. A ditch is an open, relatively shallow channel that’s carved out of the ground and used for drainage purposes. In contrast, a trench is a deeper excavation that’s entirely underground. Trenches have many uses, including gas lines, sewage systems, and electrical wiring. Unlike trenches, ditches don’t get filled back in with dirt after they’re dug.

Yes. A metal detector is one of the quickest and easiest ways to find your septic tank. However, metal detectors can be too expensive (costing upward of $300 in some cases), and not everyone has a metal detector just lying around. If that’s the case for you, you can also take a long metal rod and poke it into the ground at regular intervals until you hit something—likely your septic tank lid.

Trenching and boring are two distinct methods for installing underground utilities. Trenching involves digging a channel using equipment like an excavator, trencher, backhoe, or shovel. While it is a simpler process, it causes significant disruption to the surface, landscaping, and surrounding ecosystems.

Boring, also known as directional boring, is a less invasive alternative that uses a drill to create a tunnel for utility lines without disturbing the surface. This method is more precise and is ideal for installations that need to go underneath buildings, roads, or bodies of water. Although boring is less disruptive, it is generally more expensive than trenching.

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

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.
