"Amazing service and results. We were thrilled with the project outcome; Joe was conscientious, efficient and thoughtful. The skills applied enabled our yard to be “grass ready” with very little additional prep work. We would definitely retain services for any new projects and recommend to others-we already have ? !"

For snow removal I offer discounted rates if signed before October 25th. I have anywhere between a 4-10 person crew depending on the job. Billing depends on the type of job, whether materials need to be purchased or if it's hourly.

Excavating questions, answered by experts

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.

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.

Your contractor should handle dust control during the project. It's best to speak with your contractor beforehand to check if they plan to cover your furniture, protect your vents, or use fans to redirect dust. Eliminating drywall dust is a particularly large challenge during construction, so always take this into account during your planning phase.

Maintain open communication and address issues as they arise, ensuring contract terms cover potential delays.

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.
