"David was open and honest about everything he was doing. I had to work, so I was not here when he did the work, but he sent me emails with photos of everything he did. Before the job, he shared with me everything he was going to do...step by step. This is not a cheap project, and he was honest from the beginning. After the job was complete, he cleaned up, and also showed me everything he did after I was home from work. He was very efficient, and I highly recommend him!"

"We wanted some landscaping done on the front of our house where previous landscaping was done. We wanted new sun tolerant bushes and removal of other bushes. We also wanted weed barrier, jut matting, and mulch. I contacted Zac and he sent out Roger who took our information and told us that he would get back with a quote. We had the quote 2 days later. We had to wait until April to get the work done due to Winter. The work started on April 1st. It was supposed to take 2 days but took 3...no big deal. I was home half a day for the first day, the end of the day on the second, and all day for the last. It started out great, but then turned a little south on the second day. Roger was our foreman. He was nice, but was on the phone a lot in his truck, or doing paperwork, or left a lot and the guys were there alone. On the second night before Roger left he told me that they had some plastic barrier pieces left over from another job that they placed on our landscaping to help keep the mulch up. We are on a pretty steep hill so I thought that was a nice touch along with the jut matting underneath. He also told me that the plants would be watered before the guys left. Well, the plants never got watered and the barriers that he placed were put on top of the slippery black weed barrier and not on top of the jut matting. He decided not to put jut matting in a spot, (I guess, to see how it would work). When I went outside to check on everything after they left I could see black underneath the much. I moved the mulch and there was no jut matting. When I got home the next day they had covered the whole area with mulch and you could see where it was falling down the hill exposing the black weed barrier. I asked him about it and he said that was where they put the plastic barriers. I said, that is not working and made them move all the mulch off the barrier and put the jut matting down. The last day I was home the whole day. I had noticed in the morning that on the last area they had a strip of jut matting and then nothing, then another strip and then nothing. He saw me and asked if I was going to be home the whole day, and I said yes. His face sort of lost a little expression. I then asked about the jut matting and why it was not covering the whole hill like we asked and paid for. His excuse was that he misquoted us and had went over budget on the jut matting. So instead of doing it right he was going to rip us off, thus the lack luster look when I said that I was going to be home. Well, I made them put the jut matting everywhere and then he watered the plants and was done. Some of our plants died after the frost, but would have anyway because they were not heat tolerant. Nowhere on the hill is there one bit of shade. That is why we wanted heat tolerant plants. Spoke with Zac and he said that he would send another foreman out and that he would come out 45 mins after they got there to remove some plants. He did not show up so only 3 were replaced since the new foreman did not know what the other plants that were not heat tolerant looked like. They ended up giving us 6 plants for free. Forgot to mention that one tree and 4 plants were not brought, but I was going to get charged the full price with Roger. I deducted the amount and paid for what we got. All in all Zac made it right but I would watch out if you have Roger for the foreman. Jason was our second foreman and the guys loved working for him. I appreciated him also. Thank you Zac for making it right. I would definitely use your company again without Roger."

"2 thumbs up from me. I contracted with Jared and his team to remodel and update a wraparound deck. The work included beefing up the sub-structure, creating a completely new staircase, adding new railings and re-decking with composite boards - all done about 20 feet in the air perched out over a mountain. All of this work was done at my cabin in Mars Hill while I was in Florida. I can say that he does quality work at a fair price and on time... what more can you ask. I will definitely work with him again."

"Kevin and his son did an excellent job. They went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with results! They added an extra little water feature for my rain chain run off knowing how much I want to be able to keep it. We will definitely work with them again! "

"I had a relatively small project involving gravel delivery, and in the course of discussion they learned I was needing to pick up railroad ties. They offered to save me the trouble by picking up and delivering the ties along with the gravel. I consider this extremely excellent customer service, especially considering the small nature of the service request! In addition, they came in at a far lower price than competitors - (& they provided the convenience of picking up the railroad ties!) Caleb, who made the delivery was especially helpful and professional! If I have any other landscaping need, I will be sure to go to them, and only them!"

"Mr. Grayson Brookshire was very professional. When he came out to inspect the job, he gave me an estimate. The final cost was less than what he quoted. His crew was very hardworking, courteous, respectful of the property, and did an excellent job."

FAQs for excavation major grading or resloping projects in Asheville, NC

You can excavate in winter, but frozen soil slows down the process and increases labor costs. Many grading companies offer discounted rates during their off-season, so ask for a winter quote and weigh the savings against a longer timeline. A brief conversation with a local professional will help determine whether cold-weather excavation is suitable for your site.

Foundation digs can be completed in as little as three days or take up to three weeks. Soil density, access, weather, and hidden obstacles all play a role, so every timeline is a bit different. Have your contractor walk the site and flag any potential issues early—clear expectations help keep both the schedule and budget on track.

You must always call 811 before excavating. Dial 811 a few days in advance so that utility crews can mark underground lines and ensure the area is safe for digging. Hitting a buried cable or gas pipe can be both dangerous and expensive, and many municipalities will not issue permits unless the site is flagged correctly.

To remove soil during an excavation project, your crew will load the spoil into dump trucks with a backhoe or excavator, haul it to a disposal site, and return for the next load. Efficient hauling keeps the work zone clear and the project moving. Depending on the site and volume of osil, multiple trucks may rotate to maintain a steady flow.
