"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."

"Austin was extremely professional and did very nice work. We had grading issues near the house and Austin helped craft a solution with me and then made it happen. I had struggled with other contractors in the area returning calls, not showing up when they said they would, and a variety of other issues - I did not have any of those issues with Clear View Land Management LLC. They showed up when they said they would, did what they said they were going to, and the price was very reasonable. I've included a few before photos of our issue, and then after the grading, and then after they were finished."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

A perc test can take anywhere from one to eight hours to complete. The total time depends on factors like the amount of excavation required, the depth and width of the holes, and whether multiple test holes are needed. For a single hole, the process of filling it with water and monitoring the drainage rate usually takes less than an hour. Professionals can often complete the entire test in a single day. While it's possible to get results the same day, some companies may take a few days to provide the official report.

To drill a shallow well, you may be able to use a drive well point. This is a tapered point that is driven into the ground. A drill bit at the end of PVC pipe may be another option to consider. A lot of the cost depends on what tools are available near you.

The average cost for pool excavation is $2,500. This cost can range from $450 to $4,500, depending on the pool shape and size, time of year, and any need to move buried utilities. 

When excavating for your pool, you might have to move existing utilities. You can expect to pay an additional $15 to $25 per linear foot to move gas lines. To move a septic system, it’ll cost an additional $2,000 to $20,000. A pool that is 10 feet by 12 feet averages $450 to excavate, and a 20-foot-by-40-foot pool averages $3,020.

Yes, an excavation company is the best option for land grading and yard leveling. General landscapers might be able to tackle these projects, but an excavation company will do a better job because they’re used to operating the necessary heavy machinery. Landscapers might opt to do the work manually, which takes much longer and could cost you more in labor fees. Finally, excavation companies will understand local regulations and know when you need permits to legalize the work, while a landscaper might not.

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.
