Question 6

Do you haul debris away? (FORESTRY MULCHING)

Accepted Answer

Most mulching projects require no haul-off. Material is processed into mulch on-site, which helps protect soil and reduces cost.

Question 7

How big of trees can you mulch? (FORESTRY MULCHING)

Accepted Answer

Typical capacity is brush and trees up to about 8 inches in diameter. For larger trees, we can cut/remove and then finish with mulching.

Question 8

Will it destroy the ground? (FORESTRY MULCHING)

Accepted Answer

Mulching is generally low-impact compared to pushing everything into piles. We can tailor the approach based on slope, soil, and what you want preserved.

Question 9

Why does my driveway keep washing out? (DRIVEWAY REPAIR)

Accepted Answer

In North Georgia, water is the whole game. Washouts happen when the crown, ditching, and outlets don't move water off the driveway quickly.

Question 10

Do you provide the gravel? (DRIVEWAY REPAIR)

Accepted Answer

Yes. We can deliver and spread the correct aggregate based on the base condition and traffic level.

Question 11

Can you work with my builder or engineer? (HOUSE PADS)

Accepted Answer

Yes. If you have a plan set, we can coordinate elevations, access, and drainage details so there are no surprises when the build starts.

Question 12

Do you compact the pad? (HOUSE PADS)

Accepted Answer

We can compact to spec and coordinate compaction testing if required by your project. We'll talk through what your build needs.

Question 13

Do you remove all debris? (DEMOLITION)

Accepted Answer

Yes. Demo is not done until the site is clean. We coordinate haul-off and leave the area ready for the next phase.

Question 14

Can you demo and then build the pad? (DEMOLITION)

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Many projects start with demolition and transition right into clearing, grading, and pad prep.
