"To say Bill and his crew are amazing is a huge understatement. Bill not only did an AMAZING job on our pool excavation, he didnâ t miss a beat with he hit solid rock! He and his guys got through an insane amount of rock and our pool placement was still done on time! In addition, he stepped in after some issues occurred with our Pool Contractor and helped to make the situation better. He didnâ t NEED to do this. He had no obligation to do this. He is just a fantastic, honest and fair person who wanted to help. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!"

"Todd Reuther, who is the owner did a great job with the flower beds in my yard. He weeded and installed weed barrier and Meramec rock in the largest bed. Also installed mulch in the other two beds. Everything looks great! Todd is very knowledgeable and very easy going. I would highly recommend him. TR Landworks is the company, phone number 314-865-9197. TRLandworksSTL@gmail.com ,"

"Chad came out to inspect my property and to then fix the problem in a timely manner. He offered his opinions, explained things carefully, and communicated well throughout the whole process. I had water getting into my basement on two different sides of my house. He explained how he wanted to landscape and put in drains to keep the water from the house. I had questions after he initially came out and gave me a quote. He came back to the house so he could show me exactly where he wanted to place things and to make sure I understood. I had several quotes and felt Chad's quote was more than reasonable. Chad was very professional, friendly and patient with me. I was pleased to do business with him."

FAQs for excavation projects in Chesterfield, MO

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.
