Site Clearing
Removing trees, stumps, brush, and debris from a site to prepare for landscaping or construction.
Grading and Leveling
Creating a level base or a specific slope for the landscaping area to ensure proper drainage and to establish the desired contours of the land.
Trenching
Digging trenches for the installation of irrigation systems, drainage, or utility lines required for landscape design elements.
Soil Excavation and Relocation
Excavating soil from one area and using it to fill in another to shape the land according to the landscape design plans.
Digging for Water Features
Creating ponds, waterfalls, or fountains that require excavation to set the foundation for these water elements.
Hardscape Preparation
Preparing the ground for hardscape installations such as patios, walkways, retaining walls, and outdoor kitchens, which may involve digging footings or laying a base of gravel or sand.
Foundation Excavation for Outdoor Structures
Excavating for the foundations of gazebos, pergolas, decks, and other outdoor structures that require support below the frost line.
Rock Removal and Disposal
Removing large rocks or boulders that impede the planned landscaping or could be hazardous.
Backfilling
Filling in excavated areas after construction or installation of structures and features to ensure stability and a smooth ground surface.
Erosion Control
Implementing measures to prevent erosion in areas that are susceptible to soil loss due to wind or water runoff, is vital for maintaining the integrity of the landscape.
Creating Swales or Berms
Shaping the land to direct water flow away from structures and toward areas designed for excess water, such as rain gardens or drainage fields.
We work closely with landscape designers and architects to bring the vision for a landscape project to life, ensuring that the groundwork is done safely, and efficiently, and following local regulations and environmental best practices.
