"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."

"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."

"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 FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Depth is not a qualifying component of evacuation. Any human-made cut, cavity, or depression in the earth’s surface is considered excavation. The hole from excavation can be any size, shape, or depth. Excavation is used to create foundations, reservoirs, drainage ditches, and roads. Long, narrow excavations are called trenches and are often used for underground utilities.

The rules for trenching and excavation include setting up and following safety protocols, learning how to use tools and machines properly, and ensuring there is a safe exit for all workers. Keep heavy equipment and materials away from the edge of the hole or trench. Call the 811 dig line before starting any excavation or trenching project to ensure you don’t hit any electrical or gas lines.

There are many ways to cut through roots when digging, especially if your trencher doesn’t seem to be removing the roots. First, use a shovel to expose the roots. Then, use gardening shears to clear out smaller roots or a reciprocating saw to remove larger plant roots. If you plan on keeping the plant, avoid cutting any roots over 2 inches thick.

Digging a well can cost between $20 and $25,000, depending on your needs. If you’re looking to dig a well yourself, all you need is a shovel. If you’re looking to have a well drilled by a professional, you can expect to pay around $15 to $30 per foot. The total cost of drilling a well will average to $5,500.
