Cothran Contracting | Excavation Services & Landscaping in Fairmount, GA 30139

We first excavate the affected area to safely remove the problematic roots. Then, we backfill with quality soil, compact it properly to prevent future sinking, and either re-sod or re-seed to restore your lawn. For a lasting solution, we can also discuss strategic land grading to improve drainage away from tree bases, a common need in our local soil conditions.

Absolutely. Whether your plastic or wooden edging is broken from root pressure or weather, we remove the old material, prepare a solid base through precise trench digging and compaction, and install new, durable edging. We often recommend and install concrete or masonry edging for a permanent, low-maintenance solution that withstands North Georgia's freeze-thaw cycles and root growth.

Our land grading service in Fairmount involves using professional earthmoving equipment to regrade your land, creating proper slope and drainage. This is crucial not only for new landscape installations but also for resolving recurring issues like water pooling that can weaken edging or encourage root damage. We ensure the final grade is compacted and ready for sod, seeding, or hardscaping.
