"Slade is a highly experienced and certified professional excavator. My property is on a huge hill. Slade turned my back yard into a usable, totally flat, 2-tiered work of art! Slade is an “anything is possible” kinda pro, and that’s exactly who I needed, because my HILL was a hot mess. He never wastes time, you will always see him working (very admirable). Slade also made suggestions and advised me well on several occasions that saved me a considerable amount of money, and he does a lot more than just excavation. He ran all my gutters into the ground and installed dry wells for them. If you need someone with precision, expertise, and reliability, then seriously, look no further. This was our favorite contractor by far."

"Digworx came to my home to install a channel drain at the base of front walkway. Slade was a pleasure to work with and gave us a proper solution to water diversion on my property. We highly recommend Digworx for any drainage needs."

"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!!"

"I would use Puppa Group for any projects in the future. The owner took the time to explain everything to me and made sure it was perfect when they were done. 2 weeks after the project was complete he even came by to make sure there were no more drainage issues! 5 stars all around. If you need drainage, site prep or grading dont hesiate to call"

"I dealt with John and Dave. They were always very punctual, the proposal was specific it clearly stated what they would be doing, the size of the septic tank, overflow, main line and the cost. It was all done to code. They were polite, responsive and answered all my questions even after the work was completed, I wish I would have realized or been told how extensive the area that was disturbed would be. I would have removed more of the plants."

"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."

FAQs for excavation projects in Commack, NY

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.
