"All materials were removed and hauled off in a 30-ft dumpster. I was very satisfied with the demolition work ? everything was handled efficiently and professionally.

"I live in Greenland and our house is about 25 years old. Over the last 2 years, we noticed that some lawn depressions were forming on the side of the property that borders protected wetlands managed by The Nature Conservancy. Concerned about the increasing size of these depressions over time, we contacted John Welch, the owner of JWs Landscape Construction. John followed up immediately with a site visit and opinion that the cause of the depressions was burial of tree stumps and other debris when the contractor cleared the lot to build the house. John quickly provided us with an estimate to excavate and remove the trunks and return the lawn to its original condition. John and his team did an excellent job. It was amazing how many tree stumps had been buried in this area. We also have a lawn sprinkler system and his team was very careful about ensuring there was minimal disruption to the lines and heads. His knowledge about these sink holes proved valuable as well. I would highly recommend him to anyone who suspects they have this issue occurring on their property."

"They were on time, were cheerful and helpful, everything was great until I asked for the bill and was quoted what seemed like the tab for a major construction cleanup: $590 for loading & taking away the household stuff we had cleared out of our basement and shed and piled on the lawn. When he saw the incredulous look on my face, he quickly lowered it to $450, which I thought was still a lot for the amount of work involved, but I don't like being forced to dicker, so I wrote the check. I'd recommend them but you should agree on a firm amount before they start loading."

"We had an area in our yard where we had removed a tree and grass would not grow. We tried reseeding for several years, and they result was always the same... a big bare patch. Dustin came up a great plan...stones, pavers and some plants, but plenty of room for us to personalize it. BTW...far right of the photo is a drainage ditch that he had to work around....integrated it nicely into his work."

FAQs for excavation major grading or resloping projects in Portsmouth, NH

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.
