"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."

"We took down our above ground pool and needed the area to be leveled, top soil fill and grass seed. I started researching landscapers and Angi’s list popped up with a search engine. I filled it out and Clear View Land Management (Aaron) contacted me within a couple of hours. He stopped by that day to give me a quote and was back to complete the work later the same week. He was friendly, professional and explained everything clearly. He let me know that his equipment would tear up some of my existing lawn but that he would reseed it as part of the work. With our mild fall, the grass is filling in nicely. I would not hesitate to recommend him or hire him for additional work if it would arise."

"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."

"Layne Brandt and Dillon Sears arrived in a pickup pulling an enormous flat bed! They filled that flat bed with leaves, old mulch, weeds, yard debris to the top, and we were amazed that all of it came from our yard! They artistically trimmed several of my Boxwoods, Bridal Wreath, and tamed several overgrown shrubs. They listened to what we wanted them to accomplish, and then they did it all in grand style! These are two young men, in their second year of business, who are providing stellar service! We are having them add mulch later this week! They are a fine and responsible pair to work with! They are a pleasure to have around and we know that they will be very successful in their TQ All Season Service, LLC ventures! Give them a try!!!"

"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!"

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

Digging a bush up by the roots is the most natural DIY method for removing a bush stump. Start by identifying the shrub type and revealing its roots. Cut the shrub to its base and loosen the soil, ensuring no utility lines are nearby. Optionally, treat the base with herbicide, then dig around the roots and cut a circle around the shrub using various tools. Dig a trench, cut the base of the root ball, and finally fill the hole to prevent regrowth. This thorough process ensures complete removal without damaging surrounding areas.

Above ground pools are not buried in the ground. Typically, above ground pools are semi-permanent. One reason they’re more affordable is that you don’t have to dig for an inground pool and pour concrete or another material. However, you can choose to install a semi inground pool, which is a hybrid between the two.

Excavation is priced in cubic yards, so you’ll need to find the volume of the area in order to calculate costs. Multiply the length, width, and proposed depth of your excavation site, then convert it into yards to get the volume. Multiply this figure by the price per cubic yard.

Most homeowners can measure by hand to get a rough estimate, even if it’s tedious. You may want to pull out a tape measure or use a string to help mark the area.

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.

You should dig 3 to 6 inches deep for plastic edging. Dig as wide as you need to fit your plastic edging into it—2 inches is usually sufficient.
