    What peoplesay about the work

    “Josiah has been performing landscaping jobs such as tree cutting, sodding, brush mowing. The best project was building a beautiful fire pit for us. He is honest, talented and hard working. I would highly recommend his company for any landscaping projects.”

    “We had a great experience with Firm Foundation Property Service. Josiah and his team cleared and trimmed several trees across our property and also handled some much-needed lawn maintenance quickly and thoroughly. Josiah was responsive, efficient, and easy to work with from start to finish. We trusted his team to get the job done well, and they absolutely delivered. A worthwhile investment, and we plan to use them again.”

      Josiah walks it with you and gives you a straight number: what goes, what stays, and where the debris ends up.

      Done right, cleaned up

      Utilities marked through SC811 before any digging. Debris hauled off, ground left graded, not rutted.

    Our story

    It started in the cab.

    Josiah grew up in his Uncle Donnie’s excavator, learning that a job isn’t finished until it’s finished right. He runs Firm Foundation the same way.
