"Truly went above and beyond as a company and individual. John was extremely accessible at all times, and even texting, making him convenient to contact while at work. Was able to work with us on the price through pictures and videos so he can get a better idea of work performed, and beat out two quotes I’ve received. Highly recommend!"

"EMA is definitely a very good and reliable company. Just had oil tank removed and although there were unexpected additional charges because of a small hole in tank, Mike was very nice and explained everything. Just wished DEP was not so strict because they cost us an additional $1900 even without any contamination. I picked this company because it had very good reviews not just for their professional service but they are a lot lower than all the other companies I looked into. Our first estimate was $1,400 more than EMA!! I called several companies and I am so glad I went with them."

"S & H were excellent. They came in, removed the existing oil from our oil tank and then the second day, they cut the tank, inspected it and removed it and all piping to and from the oil tank (and the oil tank) plus sealed up all the holes that were created originally when our oil tank was installed in our cellar some 17 years ago. Throughout the whole process they were professional, efficient, and in about 4 hours, completed all the tasks noted above. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking to have their oil tank removed. Great job S & H!"

FAQs for excavation projects in Beachwood, NJ

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.
