"I had a significant erosion problem on a sloped portion of my yard. Putnam Greenspace provided a quote that included the cost of all materials, so I knew what I would be paying. The topsoil was delivered, graded, raked, and seeded. Erosion control netting was laid down and all was done on time. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Putnam Greenspace to anyone. As an addition to this project, Putnam Greenspace also cleared out an old burn pile in my back yard that included concrete blocks and fence wire. This was not a job that I could easily have accomplished - if at all - by hand. The site was left cleared and leveled and ready to go."

"Ron removed 3 very large trees along my property line that were leaning over my neighbors fence. My neighbor keeps an immaculate yard with numerous flower beds and an outbuilding and working from her yard to remove the trees would have caused a lot of damage to her property. Ron was able to climb each tree, tie a large rope and pull the trees onto my property with a skid steer as he cut them. I questioned if it could be done. It was pretty amazing to watch. He did an amazing job of placing the trees where they needed to go. Very pleased with the work performed and the cost."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even for projects that only involve grading or yard leveling. Permit requirements depend on your local government and the scope of the project, but they are especially common for significant digging or work that could affect utilities or public property. These permits help protect the local topography and prevent drainage issues. An experienced excavation company will typically know whether permits are needed and can often handle the process of pulling and closing them for you. You can also verify permit requirements by contacting your local building department and describing your project.

Yes, an excavation company is the best option for land grading and yard leveling. General landscapers might be able to tackle these projects, but an excavation company will do a better job because they’re used to operating the necessary heavy machinery. Landscapers might opt to do the work manually, which takes much longer and could cost you more in labor fees. Finally, excavation companies will understand local regulations and know when you need permits to legalize the work, while a landscaper might not.

Prior to excavation, you should prepare the dig site and call 311 before you sign anything.

To get your site ready for excavation, you should move anything in the area that isn’t affixed to the land. You can save money on the excavation by removing hardscaping, including walkways, decks, concrete patios, and paver patios.

Before you carry out any digging, you should call 311 to confirm that there are no utility lines running through your excavation site. Skipping this step could lead to severe injury and property damage if your excavator hits a water, sewage, or gas line.

It takes one hour to dig a 10-foot trench by hand. Use a trenching shovel with a sharp tip and a long head. Plan for more time if your soil is heavy or rocky. Consider renting a trencher if you’re digging a long or deep trench or if you have challenging soil or terrain.
