"Having spent 22 yrs in the paving and site development industry, I could tell by the way Jacob describe what he was going to do to correct my drainage problem that he knew what he was doing. Jacob kept me informed of his schedule and showed up when he promised. They had the right size equipment, so that no damage was done to my to lawn they had to cross to get to the area that needed repair. My lawn drains properly know and have had no problems since. They did a great job for a reasonable price."

"Gridline Landscape did a fantastic job on both of our tree and shrub removals. Tom is a friendly and professional guy making the process so much easier. We were able to schedule an appointment right away to get a quote and within a week the project was completed. He took great care with the surrounding property as well as cleaning up the area after the job was finished. The prices were competitive but still more affordable than the other companies. I highly recommend giving them a call for your landscaping needs."

"Jayden and his crew did a fantastic job removing old poles (at least 10 poles, some 10-15+ foot in height and required extensive digging) and also removing dead trees along with hauling all of the debris away. I highly recommend Jay’s Lawn and Lanscape as they are professional, reliable and amazing at what they do!"

"contacted T&K Builders after discovering mold in my exterior wall, and their response was immediate and professional. The team quickly demolished the affected area and installed the necessary structural supports to safely hold the roof. Everyone on site worked efficiently, communicated clearly, and maintained a high level of professionalism throughout the process. They kept the site clean, protected materials from the elements, and were extremely organized—especially important since we received over four inches of snow the following day. From start to finish, the experience was seamless and stress-free. Their attention to detail, workmanship, and respect for the property truly set them apart. I would absolutely recommend T&K Builders for any future projects and would not hesitate to call them again."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The best method for digging a trench depends on the scope of the project. For a short, shallow trench (less than 2 feet deep) in light, soft soil, digging by hand may be sufficient. However, digging by hand is labor-intensive, so consider the effort required. A machine trencher is the better option for longer trenches (over 100 feet), deeper ones, or when dealing with difficult soil conditions, such as rocky or hard ground, or obstructions like tree roots. A machine can save significant time and energy in these situations.

Trenchers can dig holes as narrow as 4 inches or as wide as 4 feet. Check the specifications of the trencher you rent or buy to determine how wide it will cut into the landscape. Better yet, let the excavation company know how wide you’d like the trench to be, and they can help you choose the right trencher for the job (or do it for you).

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.

Septic drain lines (or leach lines) are typically buried between 18 and 36 inches underground, and should be at least 6 inches below the surface. These pipes are perforated and surrounded by filtering materials like sand or gravel. Burying the lines at this depth helps minimize odors and allows bacteria and other biological processes in the soil to effectively treat the wastewater. Burying lines too close to the surface can cause issues unless the soil is very compact and stable.

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.
