Why is soil compaction so important?
Uncompacted soil settles over time, causing pavers to sink and structures to shift. Mechanical compaction creates stable surfaces that won't move after construction.

How do you handle tree roots during excavation?
We use stump grinders and root removal equipment to clear obstacles completely. Large roots near structures require careful excavation to prevent foundation issues.

What happens to excavated soil and debris?
Clean soil gets redistributed for grading when possible. Debris, roots, and unsuitable material are hauled away and disposed of properly off-site.

Can you improve drainage during site prep?
Absolutely. We install French drains, adjust grades for proper water flow, and add gravel layers where needed to prevent standing water problems.
