Don't let your valuable landscaped inland or waterfront property deteriorate. The first impression of your property is the landscaping. The value of your property is very important and professional landscaping increases property value and protects your property from environmental hazards. If you are a homeowner, commercial business, municipal, or industrial site, or on the water or inland, utilize landscape design techniques to maximize your property for identification purposes, for erosion control, screening, safety and security, pedestrian control, or beautification and recreation. All are reasons to landscape your property or business. Using environmentally friendly designs and materials, landscaping can compliment your property. Waterfront property has justification for landscaping and construction. Seawalls prevent erosion, and give usable space to waterfront areas, plant material can combat erosion problems, and rip rap can slow down wave action to protect your shoreline. Piers, docks, boathouses are used for recreational reasons and can add value to any waterfront property. Southern Landscaping and Construction Inc has 28 years of experience in Landscape Design and Marine Construction to protect and add value to your property. Give us a call for an estimate.

They combine the smartest minds in the industry with all of state of the art equipment and the work ethic to stay at it until a solution is found and implemented.

Excavating questions, answered by experts

If you’re planning to dig on your property, you’ll need to check for underground utility lines. Call the national call-before-you-dig 811 number. Once connected to an operator, you can schedule a site visit to mark underground lines. This way, you won’t accidentally dig into pipes and can cause major (read: costly) issues.

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even if the project only involves grading or yard leveling. Excavation permits help protect the topography in your area and can avoid issues with poor drainage. In most cases, your excavation company will know whether or not permits are required and will even pull them and close them out for you before and after the job. You can also verify whether permits are necessary by calling your local building department and explaining the proposed project.

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.

On average, you’re looking at about 12 hours to dig 100 linear feet. Your actual work time will come down to how many twists and turns there are when digging—such as rocky soil, tree roots, obstructions, and whether the ground is frozen.

The easier way to find buried sprinkler lines is to use the plan from the professionals who installed the system. If you don’t have professional plans, listen for running water on your lawn when you turn on the system. You may also spot wet areas, giving you an idea of where the heads are. Once you find the sprinkler heads, you’ll likely be able to connect the dots between them, revealing the system below.
