🪵 Removing debris (dead trees, branches, and large stones)
🌿 Top dressing and grading with premium topsoil

Stay tuned for the transformation—this space is about to change in a big way!

Slinging straw! 3 bales a minute, yes please and thank you. Have to love a purpose built tool, this Finn straw thrower is a time / labor saver but also covers amazingly well. #lawncare #lawn #upstateny #ithacany #excavation #tompkinscounty #ithaca #landscaping #

🌿 From Overgrown to Freshly Graded 🌿
Before ➡️ After ✨
This property was left unfinished when the builder never came back to complete the grading and seeding. Our team stepped in to turn it around:
✅ Brush-hogged the lot
✅ Cleared out thick brush and growth
Harley raked for a smooth finish
✅ Seeded and applied straw with a straw blower for lasting results
Now the homeowners have a clean, usable yard ready to grow in beautifully!

Drainage Done the Right Way 💧
When a customer calls us to fix undersized or improperly installed runoff lines (sump pump and gutter drains), we make sure the job gets done right.

What we don’t recommend:
🚫 Reducing 4" lines down into 3" (it restricts flow and causes backups)
🚫 Using cheap black corrugated pipe (it crushes easily and clogs fast)
🚫 Mixing solid and perforated drains (they serve opposite purposes and can cause failure if combined)
🚫 Combining runs, unless water flow rates have been calculated. Majority of the time we recommend every line should have its own dedicated drain run.
What we do recommend:
✅ Using Schedule 35 SDR pipe for strength, durability, and smooth flow
✅ Keeping solid and perforated lines separate for proper function
✅ Positive grading a to protect the foundation of a home and reduce water intrusion

For this specific customer we also installed window wells, positive graded with a stone base (crusher run) for stability and to minimize settling. Lastly, we finished with topsoil, seed and straw for both erosion control and curb appeal

Our goal isn’t just a quick fix — it’s a long-term solution that protects your home, yard, and investment.
