"Jake and his team were awesome to work with and they'd be the first I'd recommend for any excavation job big or small. He was able to make our vision for a backyard into a reality and worked tirelessly (weekends included) to make it happen. Jake was on time, honest and dependable, which is unheard of in the current market!"

"I hired atlas earthworks to put a driveway and parking lot in on a remote piece of land I purchased. He was easy to commute with and did a great job. I even added some work to the job and he finished ahead of schedule. He has nice equipment and an extremely positive attitude. It was a breath of fresh air to have an honest contractor."

"Jason and his crew were very professional. We talked about an install possibly in the future, but Jason was flexible to accommodate my needs when he had availability. The crew arrived on time, with all of the necessary equipment. They regraded my driveway, poured asphalt and made sure the surface was clean and smooth. Overall, very pleased with the work and the price was very reasonable as well. Definitely would recommend."

"Eric stepped up in an emergency situation and was considerate and kind during the process. He is extremely knowledgeable in his field (excavation and utility lines). His workers were hard working and pleasant. I dont know what I would have done without their willingness to take on the job. I have nothing negative to say and am extremely appreciative!"

"Showed up on time. Accommodated a small space work area. Cleaned up and even used a blower to clean up the lawn area. Had 2 maples that towered over our house, down in not time at all. It was a pleasure to work with them."

FAQs for excavation projects in Cliff Island, ME

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.
