"We had Jim and his team dig a crawl space hole in our backyard for an ADU for my wife’s parents. I had constructed dozens of homes in years past but the space in my personal back yard was extremely limited. I was completely amazed on how they dug, stored the dirt, and back filled the new foundation with proper compaction! I would definitely recommend and hire Jim and his guys every time!"

"Ellen was out to give us an estimate same-day. Their pricing was BY FAR the most reasonable of the 2-3 others we solicited. We have commissioned part of the projects in their estimate and are hoping their actual service matches Ellen's wonderful; l;ead-in."

"Iâ ve used QLawn services for 3 years. This year for comparison purposes I tried contacting several other lawn care providers. Not one had the courtesy to return my call. So I called QLawn and they came that same afternoon, mowed, aerated, and fertilized. They did a very nice job. I will continue to use QLawn."

"Deke and his team were both quick and professional installing base layer and new sod to my front and back yard. The process was quick especially compared to other local landscapers and the cost was great. I highly recommend Iron Mountain. Will definitely be calling them again."

FAQs for excavation projects in Cheyenne, WY

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.
