"Smoky Top Contractor is a great crew! I needed some land cleared and concrete poured for a house. They moved quickly from the process of quoting, doing the job, and cleaning up! They are very fairly priced as well. I will definitely be giving them a call for my next project !"

"Clayton is the best out there. In a time where just getting someone to show up is half the battle, he goes above and beyond. He is very knowledgeable and takes the time to explain things. He kept us updated on the timing of our project. The construction field is very busy at the moment, but he made sure to let us know when plans had to change due to weather and supply issues. He accepts nothing less than perfection and left our property spotless, unlike contractors in the past."

"I hired Quality Lawn Care late last year to remove the remnants of a root system, grade and level out my lawn away from the house, and reseed. Everyone was friendly enough when outperforming the work, but the yard did not look level. When I asked about it, they said it would settle and level out and if there were any issues to give them a call. After everything started to grow in and I cut the grass I found several areas where roots were exposed in addition to an overall unlevel lawn - let alone the grading being non-existent. I took it as the downside of having a large tree removed and reached back out to them to get a quote on having everything gone over again in addition to other work - fully expecting to pay for the service. They were quick to respond and come out to get a quote. Larry was very friendly and got everything down for additional work while stating the original work would be covered and done free of charge. That was a great relief to hear ... except that was the last I heard. I have called the numbers I had previously several times across three weeks and left messages with no response. I left 1 star for work quality and value since they performed some work. I left a half star for customer service since they were friendly when dealing with them, but there was ZERO follow-up and have now been ghosted. Shameful way to reconcile an issue by offering to guarantee work and then disappear. -UPDATE: I was contacted by Quality Lawn Care to schedule the work as the rain continuously delayed schedules and they had to wait on the dirt to finish the landscaping. After a few weeks, we were able to get someone out and they completed the grading with fill dirt. I will have to rake the spots in the lawn that were filled as it contains a lot of rocks and asphalt chunks that I do not want to hit with my mower. I watered everything multiple times a day per their instruction, but grass is not growing in the spots that were fixed - likely due to the dirt condition. That said, I have revised my ratings accordingly."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Some two-in-one tools and machines do both jobs, and those could be the right solution for smaller residential projects. However, the phrase “use the right tool for the job” definitely applies to digging. For the best results, get two separate tools for your trenching and landscape edging projects or call a pro to take care of everything for you.

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.

Digging a well can cost between $20 and $25,000, depending on your needs. If you’re looking to dig a well yourself, all you need is a shovel. If you’re looking to have a well drilled by a professional, you can expect to pay around $15 to $30 per foot. The total cost of drilling a well will average to $5,500.

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.

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.
