"We had a great experience with this excavation project. The work was completed professionally, efficiently, and with great attention to detail. The team was reliable, hardworking, and respectful of the property throughout the entire job. Even though it was a small project, they treated it with the same level of care and professionalism as a much larger job. Communication was clear, the work area was kept organized, and everything was completed as expected. I?m very happy with the results and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for quality excavation work."

"Rick was prompt, friendly and professional. He, covered all the important details like permits , fill pipes and preventing a hazardous spill. The details of the work involved with removing my â punkyâ 75 year old unused oil tank could have been a costly and hazardous mess if done wrong. But they anticipated the issues and took care of it all without a problem. Professionals trained for the task are worth the cost. Donâ t hesitate to call them before your problem escalates beyond â punkyâ and every dollar you spend will save hundreds in cleanup costs."

"Very responsive, professional and did an excellent job. Scope included connecting water runoff from house, trenching a drain pipe away from the house, installing materials to spec and accommodated a late request for us to remove shrubs in the way to prep for spring flowers. Highly recommend and will work with again."

"We hired Zacarias to replace a very worn out gravel path in need of replacement with pavers. Rony was very helpful with the planning phase in listening to our needs and developing a quality project that incorporated what we wanted. The crew worked hard and in inclement weather to get the job done as discussed and planned. There was an issue that was due to a miscommunication with a contractor working on another project that abutted the path and Rony addressed the issue and made it right. We love the path and the costs were all clearly presented up front along with a very detailed plan for the work. The grass seed they planted which was a bonus they added in has grown some great grass, and the lighting they installed makes a huge difference."

"The results were amazing. David and his crew came early and went right to work. They transplanted some very large hosta, pruned several flowering trees and bushes, and cut back several perennials. There was a huge amount of debris which they hauled away, leaving my yard â pristineâ and all set for winter. We will definitely use Edgar Landscaping and Construction agai.n."

"I found Chambers Heating and AC thru Angie's list and Stephen reached out to me the same day. We set up an appointment and Kevin came out the very next day. Kevin showed up on time and fixed our issues right away. He was kind and professional. He also gave me some tips to keep my system in tip-top shape. The price was very fair and they have gained my business. I will hire them again for future repairs and maintenance."

FAQs for excavation projects in Beverly, MA

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.
