Yes. Pulling a few stumps, fixing one wet corner of the yard or digging for a small addition are all jobs we're happy to do. Send a couple of photos and we can usually tell you from those what the work will involve.
For smaller jobs, often yes. For a foundation or a bigger drainage problem, one of us will want to come walk the property first, because what's under the ground can change the price.
Yes. We file the 811 request ourselves before every job, so the gas, water and electric lines are marked before we start digging.
There will be some tracks and bare soil where we worked. We backfill and leave it at rough grade, and we can spread topsoil and seed if you'd like. Grass usually comes back within a few weeks during the growing season.
