"Atlas tree Service did a terrific job digging a French drain, replacing a dead holly tree, and trimming up a large oak tree for me. The drain is working beautifully and the sod looks beautiful. I would recommend them highly."

"Door and frame both needed aligning in which a cold draft was evident, thought I may need a new door and frame. Gary promptly returned my call, willing to come out on Sunday, and was on time. Assessed the situation over the phone and online, reaffirmed on site, and promptly went to about his repair, allowed me to inspect, and cleaned up the work area. SUPERB JOB!! Highly recommend G and G to anyone who requires quality craftsmanship on just about any property needs. He does it all, from rough carpentry, painting, flooring and carpentry. We will be hiring Gary for our next home project."

"Excellent Painting Work and Professional Service!” JMST Home Services did an amazing job painting my new home at Lyndale Drive in Atlanta. From start to finish, the team was on time, respectful, and detail-oriented. The prep work was thorough, and the finished result looks flawless — smooth walls, clean lines, and high-quality paint throughout. They transformed the space and exceeded my expectations. I’ll definitely be using JMST again for future projects and highly recommend them to anyone looking for professional, dependable workmanship."

FAQs for excavation projects in Alpharetta, GA

Depth depends on the type of installation and the regulations in your area. Water supply lines typically require 24 inches, while drainage pipes are often installed 36 inches below grade. For most general projects, a depth of 12 to 24 inches and a width of about eight inches is sufficient. Sticking to these specs keeps your utilities safe, code-compliant, and easier to maintain later.

When you need to run utilities underground, you’ve got two main options: boring or trenching. Boring employs directional drilling to install utilities without exposing a continuous channel, while trenching requires excavating an open channel to place utilities securely. Directional drilling preserves landscape integrity, whereas trenching provides direct access for installation, albeit with greater surface disruption. This clear comparison helps you select the method best suited to your project.

Plan on 12 hours to dig 100 linear feet when the soil is cooperative and you can work continuously. This timeframe applies when work is performed consistently and methodically. Factors such as rocky soil, tree roots, obstructions, and frozen ground increase the overall duration, demanding extra planning and effort. Comprehensive operational planning ensures that every challenge is managed efficiently and the project is completed on schedule.

If you want your yard to look untouched, laying fresh sod over the trench is the quickest fix. New sod needs 30 to 45 days to root and blend with the rest of your lawn. A local sod pro can provide you with a firm timeline and tips to ensure the grass takes hold and maintains your curb appeal.
