Frequently Asked Questions
What does a typical land grading project involve for my New Bern property?
Our land grading service starts with a free site assessment to identify your specific needs, whether for new construction, improving lawn health, or correcting drainage. We then use precise excavation and soil compaction techniques to create the proper slope, directing water away from your home's foundation and preventing common local issues like standing water. The final step often includes soil backfilling and preparation for seeding or sod, giving you a stable, functional, and attractive yard.
I have standing water in my yard after heavy rains. How can Boyer Groundworks help?
Standing water is a frequent issue in our area due to soil composition and grading. We address this by first diagnosing the cause, which could be improper slope, compacted soil, or inadequate drainage. Our solution often involves strategic regrading and trench digging to create positive drainage away from problem areas. For more persistent issues, we can integrate French drains or dry creek beds into your landscape construction, functionally and aesthetically solving the water problem while enhancing your property's value and usability.
Do you handle both tree removal and the stump, and what about nearby shrubs?
Yes, we provide a complete service. Our tree care team safely removes the tree, followed by professional stump grinding or removal to clear the area entirely. We understand that nearby shrubs can be delicate, so our shrub care experts can carefully prune, transplant, or protect them during the process. If any shrubs are affected by disease or insects from the removed tree, our disease and insect management services can help restore their health, ensuring your entire landscape remains vibrant.
