"Jim was quick, thorough, and professional. He walked me through every aspect of my deck repair, charged a fair price, and notified me about and fixed a structural problem. A great guy and a great experience!"

I’m a jack of all trades. I was raised to work hard and I have experience in multiple areas. I do excavation for my full time job so I am just looking for a little extra work on the side. I have a truck and trailer so my services can expand beyond what is listed. Thank you for the opportunity!

"Last year we discovered that the sill and backboard had been damaged by termites. Crawlspace Doctor jacked up the house and installed the new sill and backboard.  At the same time we had them install Cleanspace, a plastic covering in our crawl space to keep the basement cleaner and prevent varmints from coming in the house.  We were very happy with the estimate, and the  services.

"K & M property management did a great job on my garden. I hired them to remove poison ivy and trim shrubs on my overgrown garden. The crew was professional, and very courteous. I definitely will hire them again in the future."

"I had these guys tear down and rebuild a column on my back porch, repair some missing brick and straighten out a short wall on the side of my driveway then they tuck pointed some areas that needed some TLC. Progress was a little slow at first, but they finished sooner than I expected and I’m satisfied with the job they did. The house is almost a hundred years old and they took care of it. Down to earth guys and I would definitely hire them again."

FAQs for excavation projects in Canaan, IN

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.
