"This is my first time using Home Advisor. I am so impressed. I hired Bulldog Cont, Inc. Chris the owner is smart, nice & really listens to what you are saying. I met with other people but between Rosemarie in Chris's office who schedules everything and his employees I would give them TEN STARS! Anyone who knows me; knows I do not give compliments that easily. I will be using Bulldog Cont, Inc. Excavating again. I already referred my neighbor to Chris. Not only is my property WOW & beautiful; they do not leave my home until everything was cleaned up. WOW... I haven't ever seen that before. THANK YOU once again Chris, Rosemario, & everyone who worked so hard!! It was so appreciated!!"

"Joe showed up when this was in the planning phase. This was to regrade the side of the house which caused flooding in the basement He guided the project planning items with his suggestions as well as accommodating me for the things that I wanted. He visited a second time when I was ready to make the final decision to hire him. The crew was polite and efficient. I would absolutely recommend him for the kind of work I had done."

"There was a crack in the basement wall from top to bottom that was leaking water onto floor after a heavy rain. James suggested several options but suggested the inexpensive crack filler and sealer first. I had other companies give me estimates and he was by far the cheapest for the same exact work. They arrived on time, cleaned up and are very nice and helpful. Very knowledgeable about waterproofing."

"Andre is very knowledgeable about the job. He not only fix the problem but also advise the necessary preventative action."
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.
