"Very pleased with the outcome of this oil tank removal project. Jeff and his co-worker were everything you want in a professional contractor. Timely, courteous, efficient and left a clean job site. Price was reasonable. I'd recommend New England Environmental and will go back to them if I need any more of this type of work in the future."

"C2G did a great job with replacing a buried oil tank with an above ground Roth tank. They were in on time, came prepared and completed the job quickly. They were also the only company that we came by that offered to remove the abandoned tank too."

"We needed to fix our property after we hired the wrong company to do our initial work to our home. Elite was recommended to us and we knew right from the start that victor was going to straighten all the issues we were left with after terminating our first contractor. I was hesitant at first, but this company proved to me there are still honest, hardworking,experienced contractors left out there. We had a mess but not any more thanks to Victor. 10 out of 10 Lois M"

FAQs for excavation projects in Armonk, NY

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.
