Landscaper Service<\/div>\nThe invisible work every good yard sits on<\/h2>\n
The invisible work every good yard sits on<\/h2>\n<\/div>\nWe handle sitework for homeowners, business owners and property managers across Wrentham, Norfolk, Franklin, Foxboro, Plainville, Medway and Bellingham. Whether you need one project or care all season long, you deal with the owner. That is true from the first phone call to the final walkthrough. There is no salesperson, call center or rotating crew of subcontractors in between. We have built our name in these towns since 2012. That work spans sitework and the full range of landscape and hardscape jobs. Reviews and repeat customers are the reason most of our new jobs come from word of mouth.<\/pee>Before anything good happens on a property, a machine has to move dirt correctly. We handle the excavation, grading and drainage that everything else sits on.<\/pee>Pool backfills, addition rough grades, driveway cuts, swales and regrades \u2014 with the finish grade left ready for lawn or hardscape.<\/pee>Sitework is the part of a project nobody photographs and everything else depends on. Grade, drainage and compaction determine whether the lawn drains, whether the patio stays flat, whether the addition sits on stable ground and whether the basement stays dry. Get it wrong and every finished surface built on top of it inherits the problem.<\/pee>Because we do the grading and drainage groundwork ourselves rather than hand it to a separate excavator, the person shaping your grade understands what is going on top of it \u2014 the lawn, the hardscape, the plantings \u2014 and shapes the site to serve all of it. Compaction in lifts means the ground you build on behaves like ground, not like fill waiting to settle.<\/pee>\nCommon Sitework problems we fix<\/h3>\nMost people call us about sitework because something has already gone wrong, or they want to make sure it never does. These are the issues we see most often across Wrentham, Norfolk, Franklin, Foxboro, Plainville, Medway and Bellingham, and every one of them is preventable when the work is done right the first time:<\/pee>\n\n- ✓<\/span>A pool or addition finished but the yard left as rough dirt<\/li>\n
- ✓<\/span>Poor grading that sends water toward the foundation<\/li>\n
- ✓<\/span>Fill dumped and left uncompacted, then settling<\/li>\n
- ✓<\/span>Swales and drainage never planned<\/li>\n
- ✓<\/span>Equipment that tears up the rest of the property<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
What’s included with our Sitework<\/h3>\n\n- ✓<\/span>Excavation and haul-off<\/li>\n
- ✓<\/span>Rough and finish grading<\/li>\n
- ✓<\/span>Swales and regrades<\/li>\n
- ✓<\/span>Utility and pool backfill<\/li>\n
- ✓<\/span>Compaction in lifts<\/li>\n
- ✓<\/span>Ready-for-lawn finish<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Every one of those items is part of the price we quote, not an upsell we spring on you halfway through. When we scope your sitework, we spell out exactly what is included so there are no surprises on the invoice and no corners cut where you cannot see them. If your project needs something not on this list, we will tell you up front and price it separately rather than quietly leaving it out to make the number look better.<\/pee>\nRecent sitework projects<\/h3>\nEvery photo below is from a job our own crew completed.

<\/figure>\n<\/div>\nHow the job runs<\/h3>\nWe keep the process simple and predictable so you always know what is happening and what comes next. Here is how a sitework job runs with Ten Four, from the first call to the final walkthrough, with the owner reachable at every step.<\/pee>\n\n\n01<\/div>\n\nExcavation and haul-off<\/div>\nWe excavate and remove spoil to open up the site, whether for a pool, an addition, a new lawn or a drainage fix.<\/pee><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n02<\/div>\n\nRough and finish grading<\/div>\nThe site is shaped to move water where it should go, with rough grading to establish the form and finish grading to a lawn- or hardscape-ready surface.<\/pee><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n03<\/div>\n\nSwales, regrades and backfill<\/div>\nSwales and regrades carry runoff away from structures, and utility and pool backfill is placed and compacted in lifts so nothing settles later.<\/pee><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n04<\/div>\n\nCompacted, ready-for-finish<\/div>\nEverything is compacted in lifts and left ready for lawn, hardscape or the next trade.<\/pee><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nWhat drives the price<\/h3>\nHonest answer: sitework is priced by the job, not off a rate card, because no two properties are the same. Anyone who quotes you a firm price over the phone without seeing the site is guessing, and that guess usually turns into a change order later. We would rather walk the property, understand exactly what you want, and give you a real written number. A few of the things that move the price up or down:<\/pee>\n\nVolume of material to excavate and haul<\/pee><\/div>\nHow much the grade has to change<\/pee><\/div>\nAccess for equipment and truck loading<\/pee><\/div>\nCompaction and any drainage structures required<\/pee><\/div>\n<\/div>\nWhen to schedule<\/h3>\nHardscape can go in almost any frost-free month, but spring and early fall book up first, so the smart move is to get on the schedule a season ahead. Our calendar for sitework fills up fastest in spring and early fall, so the sooner you reach out, the more flexibility you have on timing. If you are planning ahead, we are happy to get you on the schedule early and confirm the details closer to the date.<\/pee>\nThe crew and the equipment<\/h3>\nEvery sitework job is run by Seth and our own crew, not subcontractors, with the equipment and materials matched to the work in front of us. The person who quotes your job is the person on site while it is built, so nothing gets lost between the estimate and the finished result. We show up with the right machines for the job, keep the site clean while we work, and leave it the way we would want our own property left. We source our materials from suppliers we have worked with for years, so what goes into your sitework is the same quality we would put on our own homes, not the cheapest thing available that week.<\/pee>\nOur service area<\/h3>\nOur yard is in Wrentham, so sitework in Wrentham, Norfolk, Franklin, Foxboro, Plainville, Medway and Bellingham is close-to-home work for us, not a drive we pad the estimate to cover. We know the clay-heavy New England<\/a> soil, the frost depth that decides how we build, and the freeze-thaw that punishes anything built shallow or drained poorly. We live and work in the same towns you do. If you ever need us back, we are only a short drive away. We also care what the neighbors think of the work, because they are our neighbors too.<\/pee>\nAbout your estimate<\/h3>\nYour sitework estimate is free and in writing, with the scope spelled out line by line — no vague allowances that balloon once the work is underway. Seth walks the property with you before we quote it, listens to what you are actually trying to solve, and puts a real number on paper. If something changes once we open up the site, you hear about it before we do the work, not after. We will also tell you honestly if a smaller, cheaper approach would serve you just as well — we would rather do the right-sized job and earn the next one than oversell you once.<\/pee>\nWhy a local owner-operator<\/h3>\nSeth Dias owns Ten Four and is on the job, not just on the estimate, so the person accountable for your sitework is the person actually doing it. We have worked in these towns since 2012 and built a five-star Google reputation the honest way, one finished job at a time. A big franchise can send a different crew every visit; with us, you get the same face, the same standards and someone who still has to see you at the hardware store next week. That accountability is the whole point of hiring a local owner-operator. Our name is on the truck, on the estimate and on the reputation. Cutting a corner on your sitework is never worth it to us.<\/pee>\nWhy choose Ten Four for Sitework<\/h3>\nThere are plenty of people who will quote you sitework. Here is what you get with Ten Four that you do not get everywhere else:<\/pee>\n\n- ✓<\/span>Done by our own crew<\/strong> — Ten Four Landscape & Construction does not subcontract sitework; Seth Dias walks the property and stays on the job.<\/li>\n
- ✓<\/span>Built for New England weather<\/strong> — every sitework job accounts for frost, drainage and our clay-and-sand soils.<\/li>\n
- ✓<\/span>Everything in writing<\/strong> — a free written estimate with the scope spelled out: excavation and haul-off, rough and finish grading, swales and regrades and more.<\/li>\n
- ✓<\/span>One call, one invoice<\/strong> — sitework coordinated with the rest of your property so nothing is redone later.<\/li>\n
- ✓<\/span>Local since 2012<\/strong> — the same owner-operator, serving Wrentham, Norfolk, Franklin, Foxboro, Plainville, Medway and Bellingham from our Wrentham yard.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Signs it’s time for Sitework<\/h3>\n\n- ✓<\/span>A pool, addition or garage project needs excavation and backfill<\/li>\n
- ✓<\/span>Water drains toward the house instead of away<\/li>\n
- ✓<\/span>The lot is rough, uneven or full of construction spoil<\/li>\n
- ✓<\/span>The grade needs reshaping before any lawn or hardscape<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

We source our materials from suppliers we have worked with for years, so what goes into your sitework is the same quality we would put on our own homes, not the cheapest thing available that week.<\/pee>\n Our service area<\/h3>\n
Our yard is in Wrentham, so sitework in Wrentham, Norfolk, Franklin, Foxboro, Plainville, Medway and Bellingham is close-to-home work for us, not a drive we pad the estimate to cover. We know the clay-heavy New England<\/a> soil, the frost depth that decides how we build, and the freeze-thaw that punishes anything built shallow or drained poorly. We live and work in the same towns you do. If you ever need us back, we are only a short drive away. We also care what the neighbors think of the work, because they are our neighbors too.<\/pee>\n About your estimate<\/h3>\n
Your sitework estimate is free and in writing, with the scope spelled out line by line — no vague allowances that balloon once the work is underway. Seth walks the property with you before we quote it, listens to what you are actually trying to solve, and puts a real number on paper. If something changes once we open up the site, you hear about it before we do the work, not after. We will also tell you honestly if a smaller, cheaper approach would serve you just as well — we would rather do the right-sized job and earn the next one than oversell you once.<\/pee>\n Why a local owner-operator<\/h3>\n
Seth Dias owns Ten Four and is on the job, not just on the estimate, so the person accountable for your sitework is the person actually doing it. We have worked in these towns since 2012 and built a five-star Google reputation the honest way, one finished job at a time. A big franchise can send a different crew every visit; with us, you get the same face, the same standards and someone who still has to see you at the hardware store next week. That accountability is the whole point of hiring a local owner-operator. Our name is on the truck, on the estimate and on the reputation. Cutting a corner on your sitework is never worth it to us.<\/pee>\n Why choose Ten Four for Sitework<\/h3>\n
