"They are a father and son team. They show up when they say they will. They are hard workers and know what they are doing. My backyard was a disaster, very uneven, full of rocks/boulders and had a really bad slope. I couldn't mow it with my mower. I had to weed wack it. I had them come in and grade,fill and put top soil down. It looks fantastic and is now mow able. They also did a driveway for me. They are very fair with pricing. I highly recommend them."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

In the spring, inspect previously graded areas for ground depressions and clear winter sediment from driveway culverts. Check slopes for early erosion before intense summer thunderstorms hit Gate City. During the fall, complete any new excavating or drainage repairs before the ground freezes. After heavy rain events, walk your property to catch fresh erosion, drainage failures, or soil movement before the damage worsens.

Helpful?

Start by calling the state utility hotline three business days before breaking ground. Next, confirm local permit requirements and check flood maps for your VA property. Schedule a soil assessment to identify hidden limestone bedrock. Plan your excavating during late spring or early fall to avoid frozen winter ground. Finally, locate your private well and septic system to maintain required setback distances.

Helpful?

Watch for small ground depressions after heavy rain, as these indicate developing sinkholes in the local karst terrain. Persistent wet spots that fail to drain signify poor slopes from past excavating work. You must also monitor retaining walls and foundations for seasonal cracking caused by VA freeze-thaw cycles. Address finger-width erosion channels on steep hillsides immediately to prevent massive gullies from washing out your driveway.

Helpful?

Prioritize excavating around your foundation to ensure positive drainage away from the house, protecting your basement from heavy Gate City rainfall. Next, uncover and inspect your private septic tank and drain field. Install drainage swales or culverts along unpaved driveways to prevent washouts. Finally, trench upslope of your home to add diversion drains, which will protect your property from hillside erosion and foundation saturation.

Helpful?

A frequent mistake during excavating is skipping a call to the state utility hotline three days before digging. Homeowners also underestimate the rocky, limestone-rich soil in Gate City, which causes unexpected delays. Another error involves ignoring floodplains near the North Fork of the Holston River. Always check local permit requirements and plan proper drainage slopes to prevent stormwater runoff from damaging your foundation or neighboring properties.
