"We are so pleased with the outcome of this project. We had grading issues identified at inspection that we procrastinated on for 3.5 years. We went back and forth over what to do with this area to fix the grade and we ended up going with a retaining wall and backfill. Great Plains did great work - I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves!"

"Adam was great to work with and they worked their tail off! It was 100 degree day and they hauled in load after load of dirt to level my yard. They also installed a rain gutter drain to help with water erosion going forward. I highly recommend them."

"Bless Derek for coming to our rescue. Now days it very hard to find a company to help. He jumped right in there and took care of our dirt work and at reasonable prices, no price gouging. We loved working with Derek! Nobody else is touching our property, he is the best!!!!!! He did 3 French drains, filled and leveled low spots and traveled our driveway. Derek is a pro the way he handled the machines!"

"Install went great. They did a good job and were thorough. They had an urgent request that caused them to be several hours late. I was working from home so not a big deal but they could have sent a quick text to update me. I had to text and finally call to find out what caused their delay."

FAQs for excavation projects in Arlington, KS

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.
