There’s always room for improvement, but I’m kind of proud of this one.

A lot of seat time, attention to detail, and pride in the finished product went into this one.

This Memorial Day weekend, we did some light work and honestly, weekends and holidays aren’t usually our favorite time to be on the job site.

But helping a fellow veteran family pass their VA home inspection so they can close on their very first home makes it worth it. 🇺🇸

As we remember and honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice this Memorial Day, we’re grateful for the opportunity to continue serving others in our own way.

Tight access? That’s our specialty. 🌳💪

This tree removal job had very limited space to work with, but the AVANT 528 shines in areas where larger machines simply can’t fit. Its compact size and oversized turf tires let us maneuver through tight residential spaces while minimizing damage to the yard.

And yes… not a single piece of sawdust ended up in the pool. 😅🏊‍♂️

Being the “tight space people” means taking on the jobs others don’t want to risk without tearing up your property in the process.

✅ Tight access tree removal
✅ Minimal lawn disturbance
✅ Residential friendly equipment
✅ Cleanup done right

🚧 From Rough Grade to Ready for Sod 🌱

This property was almost ready for sod… but the final slope and drainage grade weren’t correct. Water would’ve held against the structure and created problems down the road.

We came in to correct the final grading, establish the proper 3% slope for drainage, and power rake the surface for a clean, smooth sod-ready finish.

✅ Corrected drainage slope
✅ Final finish grading
✅ Power raked for seed/sod prep
✅ Smoothed and leveled surface
✅ Ready for healthy turf establishment

A good-looking lawn starts with proper grading underneath it. If the drainage is wrong, the sod is fighting an uphill battle from day one.

Before & after on this property cleanup in Brices Creek, NC 🌲💪

The goal was to open this lot up, improve visibility, and remove hazardous dead trees. All while preserving the mature pines that give the property its character.

✅ Forestry mulching of thick underbrush and overgrowth
✅ Removal of dead/unsafe trees
✅ Cleaner sight lines and more usable space
✅ Minimal disturbance to the property

One of the biggest advantages of forestry mulching is that the vegetation is processed back into the soil instead of being burned or hauled to a landfill. The natural mulch layer helps retain moisture, reduce erosion, and protect the ground from washout while the property naturally stabilizes and regrows.

The end result is a cleaner, safer, park-like appearance while keeping the natural privacy and shade.

🚧 Big Capability. Small Footprint. 🌱

One of the biggest concerns homeowners have with equipment work is yard damage… and rightfully so.

That’s exactly why we run the AVANT 528 👇

✔️ Fits through standard residential gates
✔️ Oversized turf tires = minimal ground disturbance
✔️ Lightweight but powerful enough to move serious material
✔️ Perfect for tight backyards and finished properties

Whether it’s spreading topsoil, moving gravel, grading, or light site prep, we can get in, get it done, and get out without tearing up your yard.

No ruts. No mess. No unnecessary damage.

Just clean, professional results.

Knocked out a nice little forestry mulching job today here in Eastern NC.

This property had a thick mix of underbrush, vines, and overgrowth that was starting to take over. We went in with our Kubota Tractor Corporation SVL paired with our Fecon mulching attachment and opened it up leaving the mature trees while clearing out everything underneath.

Now it’s clean, accessible, and actually usable space again.

No hauling. No burning. Just a natural mulch layer that helps with erosion and keeps regrowth down.

If you’ve got land that’s getting out of hand or just want to reclaim your property, this is one of the most efficient ways to do it.
