Customers say: True professional
"Tucker was very good. He was polite and respectful. He was on time and when he worked he was careful to do exactly what I had asked. If he was running late arriving he’d call and let me know. He would have me look at what had been done to be sure I was satisfied. If there was something I’d forgotten to ask him to do he’d either do it then if he had the time or make another time to come back and do it! He was very eager to be sure I was satisfied with his work and fix anything I had a problem with. I’ll be calling him when I have more outside work done in the future."

"they did an excellent job clearing large tree debris and under brush. they did everything I asked for and a very reasonable price. They made a couple of very large brush piles, approximately 30' Dia x 20' high and burned most of it. Only thing I had hoped they would have done is to complete the burning. Before it all burned they dug a huge hole and buried the remainder."

"Galactic came out for a driveway repair. It was constantly washing out after heavy rains due to the slope. It had become difficult for me to get my car up it. And it’s long! The showed up when scheduled for both the estimate and to get the job completed. Smoothed everything out, brought out and spread 7 loads of crusher run and then packed it using a vibratory roller. Because they added the proper diverters for the water run off, the driveway still looks as good as the day they finished and it’s several months later. FedEx and UPS are in and out often and even those big trucks haven’t messed anything up. Very happy with Galactic and highly recommend them for any work you need done!"

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.
