"Overall, I'm lukewarm on the service. Waters poured the foundation and driveway for my home when I built it a few years ago. I wanted to extend a patio and so when I saw them in the list on HomeAdvisor I gave them a call. They were in the middle of the pack in terms of pricing, so I felt good about the call. I asked for two quotes - one for pouring the slab and another for staining it since I had considered staining it myself but really didn't want to if the price was right. I decided to split the job into two - stain later and first just do the pour. I spoke with West and explained the type of surface texture and joints I wanted. I received the quote with the words "pour and finish all labor and materials." You might expect that finishing would include cutting the joints and removing the form boards. When I texted them to ask when they were coming back to cut the joints I was told it would cost more - a lot more. I texted West and asked how we got into the miscommunication but he never responded. They never came back to remove the form boards. The work they did do, they did well. The folks that came out were friendly and easy to work with. Unfortunately, I cannot provide any company who ignores me and leaves me to do the cleanup with 5 stars. 3 1/2 is the best I can do. The least I would expect is for West to offer an explanation like "I'm sorry, we didn't properly explain that finishing didn't include cutting expansion joints." How hard is that? Waters won't be doing the stain. They started off strong but finished weak. Thus, a weak score in the review."

"Exelent service and quality from woodchuck land management crew! They guys showed up on time and got straight to work. Being as I am in a neighborhood everything is real tight and thereâ s not much room to mulch/grind trees and brush, they crew left my property looking 100xâ s better than they found it. Would strongly recommend WLM to anyone that is wanting to add REAL value to their property."

"Excellent contractor . Will never use any other but them. They had ethics and provided a detailed explanation of the work they would be performing. They lived up to my expectations. My driveway looks great and other repairs that were done exceeded my expectations . Can’t say enough good about this company! The work was done in the timeframe they specified. They did what they said they would do and did it when they said they would as well. Again, they will remain my contractor going forward for any future needs."

"Excellent Painting Work and Professional Service!” JMST Home Services did an amazing job painting my new home at Lyndale Drive in Atlanta. From start to finish, the team was on time, respectful, and detail-oriented. The prep work was thorough, and the finished result looks flawless — smooth walls, clean lines, and high-quality paint throughout. They transformed the space and exceeded my expectations. I’ll definitely be using JMST again for future projects and highly recommend them to anyone looking for professional, dependable workmanship."

FAQs for excavation projects in Woodstock, GA

Depth depends on the type of installation and the regulations in your area. Water supply lines typically require 24 inches, while drainage pipes are often installed 36 inches below grade. For most general projects, a depth of 12 to 24 inches and a width of about eight inches is sufficient. Sticking to these specs keeps your utilities safe, code-compliant, and easier to maintain later.

When you need to run utilities underground, you’ve got two main options: boring or trenching. Boring employs directional drilling to install utilities without exposing a continuous channel, while trenching requires excavating an open channel to place utilities securely. Directional drilling preserves landscape integrity, whereas trenching provides direct access for installation, albeit with greater surface disruption. This clear comparison helps you select the method best suited to your project.

Plan on 12 hours to dig 100 linear feet when the soil is cooperative and you can work continuously. This timeframe applies when work is performed consistently and methodically. Factors such as rocky soil, tree roots, obstructions, and frozen ground increase the overall duration, demanding extra planning and effort. Comprehensive operational planning ensures that every challenge is managed efficiently and the project is completed on schedule.

If you want your yard to look untouched, laying fresh sod over the trench is the quickest fix. New sod needs 30 to 45 days to root and blend with the rest of your lawn. A local sod pro can provide you with a firm timeline and tips to ensure the grass takes hold and maintains your curb appeal.
