"My husband and I hired JWB Home to redo our patio. Not only did we get a patio, we got a complete outdoor oasis and living space.

They also completed our project way ahead of schedule. We absolutely love our patio and it has been a complete life changer because we want to just be outside. Anon and his entire crew are extremely professional and just great to work with. Thank you for our new outdoor living space. You can't go wrong if you hire JWB Home."

Excavation services FAQs

The depth of your trench depends on your project's needs and local regulations. Standard trenches are usually 12 to 24 inches deep and about eight inches wide. Specific installations have exact requirements—for example, water pipes need to be buried 24 inches deep, while drainage systems may require a depth of 36 inches. Understanding these dimensions helps with proper planning and ensures utilities are installed safely.

Boring and trenching are different methods for installing underground utilities. Boring uses directional drilling to install utilities without digging a continuous trench, minimizing surface disruption—ideal when you want to preserve your landscaping. Trenching involves digging an open channel where utilities are placed before backfilling, which provides direct access but causes more disturbance to the surface.

Digging a trench for 100 linear feet requires 12 hours of work. The total time is affected by factors such as rocky soil, tree roots, and other obstructions along the path, which demand additional effort and planning. This precise scheduling insight helps in project planning and ensures that the work is completed on time, with all conditions carefully accounted for.

Yes, you'll likely need to lay sod after trenching to restore your lawn's appearance. It typically takes 30 to 45 days for new sod to root firmly and blend with your existing grass. Consider consulting a local sod specialist to get accurate timelines and ensure the restoration looks great and functions well.
