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

You can bury underground electrical wire six inches deep—but only if you use a rigid metal electrical conduit. For rigid, non-metallic conduits, bury the wire at least 12 inches deep. If using an underground feeder cable rated for direct burial, you'll need to place it at least 18 inches deep, as it has no conduit for extra protection.

Trenching is not the same as boring. Boring uses a drill to make a tunnel for underground utilities, but trenching involves digging with an excavator, trencher, backhoe, or shovel. Boring is more precise and expensive, and it’s best for installing utilities underneath buildings, roads, and bodies of water. Trenching is simpler but can cause more disruption to landscaping and ecosystems.

Your contractor should handle dust control during the project. It's best to speak with your contractor beforehand to check if they plan to cover your furniture, protect your vents, or use fans to redirect dust. Eliminating drywall dust is a particularly large challenge during construction, so always take this into account during your planning phase.

Yes, you can excavate in the winter, but it might make the job harder. Frozen ground is harder to dig, and snow or ice can make the work site more hazardous. A contractor may need special equipment and techniques, such as ground-thawing methods, to break through frozen soil. Although winter excavation is possible, it may take longer and be more costly than excavating during warmer months.

The best type of soil to build on is a mixture of sand and clay, known as loam soil. Loam soil has the best combination of these soil types to build a foundation on. The clay particles help with water retention, so it won’t erode like sandy soil might, and the sandy particles help with drainage, so you won’t see unsafe soil expansion or have an increased risk of leaks from water sitting against your foundation.
