"Hired them to remove leaves weekly, from my elderly fathers yard. Amazing customer service, quick to respond, very accommodating, they do great work. My Father sends me pictures every week and it looks very tidy. We'll use them out there next summer for additional clean up as well."

"Two issues occurred simultaneously: The first intense rainstorm in September flooded beneath a newly built fence and rushed over a low retaining wall, collapsing it in two places. On the front of the house, the catch basin in the driveway that was supposed to carry water from the drain spouts along the side of the house filled with mud, its connection to the drains apparently destroyed. I drew up a plan for dealing with both issues and received bids from three companies. Tiger's Landscaping owner, Jim Faulkner, seemed most competent and willing to do the job, and his bid was much lower than the others. We discussed the plan in detail and I felt his company was my best option. Jim and crew arrived the day after Thanksgiving and completed the project within five hours! All of the crew members were hard working, kind, and professional, and treated me and each other with respect. They rebuilt the retaining wall and installed a French drain behind it, wrapped in fabric and filled with rocks, and from that a drainpipe carried that water beneath the wall, underground through the yard where it was joined by pipes coming from the drain spouts on the house. The main pipe then continued beneath the fence where it emptied into rocks a few feet from the culvert. They tested it with a hose and it worked perfectly. I am very relieved and pleased to have this dealt with by such a fine company. I would highly recommend Jim Faulkner and Tiger's Landscaping, for any project he decides to tackle."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

Errors in site preparation can lead to structural failures or appear costly midway. Professionals ensure detailed, reliable home base development layouts.

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.

No, a ditch isn’t a trench. A ditch is an open, relatively shallow channel that’s carved out of the ground and used for drainage purposes. In contrast, a trench is a deeper excavation that’s entirely underground. Trenches have many uses, including gas lines, sewage systems, and electrical wiring. Unlike trenches, ditches don’t get filled back in with dirt after they’re dug.

It can take several weeks for the ground to settle after removing a tree, and the soil under larger, more mature trees can take months. The deeper the tree has been ground under the soil, the longer it will take to settle. However, this extra depth can help you plant new landscaping sooner because you’ll have more space for fresh soil.
