"We had them clean our pond this spring. One of their crew carelessly broke the stone ledge in the waterfall and it leaks continuously. We called them and explained the damage and the leak and this is what their "satisfaction guaranteed" means they will come out and take a look but we will be charged. YOU damaged the pond by someone carelessly stepping and busting a ledge in the waterfall and causing a leak and you want US to pay to fix it. We have contacted them numerous times with no outcome."

Excavation major grading or reslopings FAQs

Winter conditions increase the duration and labor required for excavation because cold weather and frozen soil demand extra effort. Some local grading companies offer off-season rates that reduce overall expenses while accommodating longer project timelines. Homeowners are advised to consult local professionals to confirm that these rate adjustments help balance the higher operational challenges experienced during winter.

The time it takes to complete an excavation project varies. Small projects like digging for a shed foundation might take a day or two while excavating for a home basement can take up to five days. Factors like soil type, site accessibility, project size, and unexpected issues (like hard rock or high water tables) can affect the timeline.

Yes, it's essential to call 811 before any excavation work. This free service will mark underground utility lines on your property, helping you avoid dangerous and costly accidents. Always call 811 to ensure your project is completed safely and that it’s compliant with local laws that are in place to protect you and your property.
