What areas do you service?

Are you licensed and insured?
Yes, we operate as a fully professional contractor and follow all local requirements for the work we perform.
Do you handle both residential and commercial projects?
Yes. We work with homeowners as well as commercial property owners and managers.
Excavation & Site Work
What is small excavation, and how is it different from large excavation?
Small excavation focuses on precise, detail-oriented work like trenching, grading, and site prep for smaller projects. It requires more accuracy and flexibility than large-scale earthmoving.
Do you install utility trenches for electrical or water lines?
Yes, we specialize in trenching for electrical, water, and other utility lines.
Can you handle site preparation for new construction?
Yes. We provide grading, clearing, and prep work for garages, additions, and other small structures.
Do I need permits for excavation work?
In many cases, yes. We can help guide you through the permitting process depending on your project.
Landscape Construction
What types of hardscaping projects do you build?
We install patios, walkways, retaining walls, and other outdoor living features using pavers, concrete, and natural materials.
How long does a patio or walkway installation take?
Most projects take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on size, materials, and site conditions.
Can you help design my outdoor space?
Yes, we can guide layout, materials, and functionality based on your property and goals.
What’s the difference between pavers and concrete?
Pavers offer more flexibility, durability, and design options, while concrete can be more cost-effective for certain applications.
Lawn Installation & Maintenance
Do you install new lawns?
Yes. We offer grading, hydroseeding, and lawn installation services.
What is hydroseeding, and is it better than sod?
Hydroseeding is a cost-effective way to grow grass evenly. It takes longer than sod but often results in a stronger, more natural lawn.
Do you offer ongoing lawn maintenance?
Yes, we provide commercial lawn maintenance including mowing, fertilization, and seasonal cleanups.
How often should I aerate and overseed my lawn?
Typically once per year, usually in the fall, to improve lawn health and density.
Drainage & Irrigation
How do I know if I have a drainage issue?
Common signs include pooling water, soggy areas, erosion, or water near your foundation.
What types of drainage solutions do you install?
We install systems like French drains, grading corrections, and water diversion solutions.
Do you install irrigation systems?
Yes, we design and install irrigation systems to keep your lawn and landscaping properly watered.
Concrete & Foundations
