At Jon's Tree Service, we make your safety our top priority. Throughout our experience, we have heard of or seen far too many injuries from falling branches. These types of incidents can easily be prevented with frequent pruning and trimming. You can rest assured that our professional staff is highly-trained and skilled in the field of tree trimming, pruning, and fertilization. It takes a true expert to know how to properly care for trees. We can determine the services you need based on what type of tree you have and the specific seasons or year-round treatment it needs.

"After consulting with several companies about our backyard drainage, we made the right choice with Pender's. They did a great job making sure we found the best solution to keep the rain water draining away from our home. Communication was excellent which is hard to find. And once the rain halted long enough for them to begin, they stayed on the job to get it done as quickly as possible. They were upfront about pricing so we were prepared and able to make decisions. Overall not a single complaint... thank you!!!"

FAQs for excavation projects in Birmingham, AL

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.
