What Our Service Includes

Our comprehensive site preparation services include:

Clearing and Grading: We remove any obstacles, debris, or existing structures that may interfere with your landscaping project. Clear land doesn't just look cleaner – graded and leveled land is essential for proper drainage and structural stability.
Soil Testing and Amendment: Not all soil is created equal. We test your soil's composition to ensure it is suitable for your intended landscape use and enhance it as needed. This might include adding nutrients or altering pH levels to support healthy growth of plants.
Excavation and Demolition: For more extensive projects, we provide excavation services to prepare service trenches or remove outdated structures safely while minimizing impact to the surrounding area.
Erosion Control: Protecting topsoil from being washed or blown away is critical. We implement proven erosion control methods to ensure longevity and sustainability of the landscaping.

"Snow Removal Review: Custom One is very efficient, friendly, and helped with our snow drifted driveway amazingly. I called after our recent snowstorm, and they fit us in with their already busy schedule. I was over joyed to hear that “ yes we can” & the relief it gave me to know they were there to help. Custom One gave above and beyond service, that we felt other snow removal service places lacked. The gentleman that plowed our drive, was so kind and wonderfully friendly. He placed the plowed snow into a HUGE pile in the yard, so my kids could play on it and they are loving it!! Custom One Concrete & Landscapeing is the only company you need to have a job done right! We won’t go anywhere else. Thanks so much guys, you’re the best!"
