"There were issues with materials sourcing and Trey and Alex found alternatives that were better and less expensive. They have a good eye for design that aided in the execution of my plans. In other words, they were more than just builders, they could map out the plan very well to fit it in to my existing landscape. They were on time and under budget. They went above and beyond the scope of the project, including but not limited to remulching a huge area around the pathway they installed because the heavy equipment accidentally disturbed a small area. They could have just mulched the disturbed area, but they extended the mulch so that it blended with the existing mulch. I plan on hiring them to build a pond later this year. They were outstanding and by far the best contractors I have hired both on and off Angi. I have had major remodels in my house and outside in my pool and yard probably a dozen contractors in all. They are head and shoulders above the others. Thank you Angi."

FAQs for excavation major grading or resloping projects in Summerville, SC

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.
