"JT and his crew did a fantastic job on our tree removal! Quality work, honest and reliable! JT himself was very patient with us as we have multiple items to do in our backyard and he helped us prioritize the items especially since we were on a budget. We ended up removing a VERY large oak tree over 30ft tall probably and they did so very carefully and left the backyard even cleaner than what it was before! 10/10 would recommend!"

"I contacted DLP Contracting after a water leak damaged our bar. David explained the steps and the time frame required. He communicated throughout the process. His workers were always on time and worked diligently to complete each task. They also thoroughly cleaned up after each days work. The final product was perfect. DLP does projects of all sizes. I wholeheartedly recommend DLP Contracting."

"Baker Septic Systems did an excellent job for us replacing our old septic system with a new aerobic system. Our property is on solid rock and Bill Baker and his crew got the job done without any problems. Honest, punctual, and professional. Excellent quality work and reasonable prices. Strictly adhered to all Covid-19 guidelines. My neighbor also had him put in a system and he was extremely pleased also. Highly recommend!!!"

"Kip took the time to evaluate what needed to be done before proceeding and offered suggestions on what should be left instead clearing my entire property. He clearly explained the process and jumped on the job within a week of approval from my neighborhood POA. Extremely satisfied with work!"

"Robert Lopez and Jacob were great. The thoroughly explained how and where they were going to install the French drains and the limestone retaining wall to prevent water getting into the house when it rains. We have had heavy rains since they have finished the project and they work like a charm - no water in the house. They are great to work with and I look forward to working with them again on future projects."

FAQs for excavation projects in Bulverde, TX

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.
