Frequently Asked Questions
What types of projects require professional excavation?
Excavation is needed for foundations, grading, drainage improvements, utility installation, land clearing, and any project that requires safe soil removal or site preparation.
How do I know if my property needs grading or drainage work?
Pooling water, soil erosion, basement leaks, and soggy landscaping are common signs that your property needs grading or improved drainage solutions.
What’s the difference between land clearing and excavation?
Land clearing removes trees, brush, and vegetation, while excavation focuses on reshaping the ground, digging foundations, and preparing the site for construction.
How long does a typical hardscaping project take to complete?
Most patios, walkways, and retaining walls take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks depending on size, materials, weather, and site conditions.
What are the benefits of installing a retaining wall?
Retaining walls help control erosion, create usable yard space, manage elevation changes, and add structure and beauty to your landscape.
Does stamped concrete last as long as regular concrete?

How early should I schedule snow removal services before winter?
