"We hired Caleb to remove mulch and fabric and do some basic clean up. He was extremely polite when he came to give us an estimate, and was on time and completed the job quickly. He also freely offered advice on things we could do. We would definitely hire him again."

"God did Bless us with Quality Landscaping, Mr. Bryan & Logan they both are Professional. We set a date & time. I mentioned that I hv Medical appt.’s and they worked around my schedule. Logan did not rush the job he explained what he was going to do., and to make sure the job was done correctly he was to come the next morning. Picked up behind his work. The next morning his Father came to finish the job. Excellent Communication Amen. I/We strongly recommend Quality Landscaping. Let’s keep the Love and it’s a local loyal family company. Repaced 6 post & repair chain link fence. May Quality Landscaping continue to get Blessing. I/We Highly Recommend this Company. ( they do exactly what they say they will do)."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Most states do not require excavation companies to hold specific licenses, but many require at least a contractor’s license. Additionally, heavy equipment operators require a special commercial equipment license to operate machinery required for excavation. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to confirm that an excavation company you’re considering hiring is fully licensed. You should also make sure that the excavation team is fully insured before allowing them to work on your property.

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.

Hard soil could be a sign of overly dry dirt, either from poor drainage or drought. It's important to test the nutrient levels, density, and drainage capacity of your soil to see if it's absorbing water properly. Begin by adding a light layer of water and observing how long the soil retains moisture. If you experience a good deal of runoff, you may need to aerate your lawn, apply a wetting agent, or hire a professional for a closer look.

There are many ways to cut through roots when digging, especially if your trencher doesn’t seem to be removing the roots. First, use a shovel to expose the roots. Then, use gardening shears to clear out smaller roots or a reciprocating saw to remove larger plant roots. If you plan on keeping the plant, avoid cutting any roots over 2 inches thick.

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.
