"Great experience through the estimate and removal process 48 hours ago. Danny, Billy the project managers were complete and professional with several follow-ups to keep me abreast of progress during the permitting and scheduling process. On the removal day, Walker and George were amazing. They had to get the equipment up a slope that started with climbing a 20" stone retaining barrier. miss overhanging tree limbs and work right underneath the power line from the street to my house, Made me nervous for them, but their work in removing residual oil, and the oil tank itself progressed smoothly with no mishaps. I will recommend this company to anyone in need but especially anyone with tight space or difficult terrain."

Customers say: Quick response

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Hudson Valley Landscaping & Drainage to address a persistent flooding issue in my homeâ s crawl space, and Iâ m very glad I did. Marc, the owner, demonstrated an impressive level of attention to detail, thoroughly assessed the problem, and considered both short-term solutions and long-term prevention. The work progressed swiftly. Marc and his team were punctual, arriving exactly when they said they would. Their efficiency allowed us to get back to normalcy sooner than expected. After resolving the drainage problem, I was very pleased with how beautifully they restored the affected yard space. The landscaping work was perfect. I really appreciated the dialogue about options that resulted in the thoughtful placement of plants. Itâ s like our yard got a makeover! Throughout the project, the crew maintained its professionalism. Itâ s refreshing to work with a team that takes pride in their craft and treats your home respectfully. We have already discussed what future projects are possible. And, after the recent rain storms we just had, that crawl space is as dry as a bone. If youâ re seeking a reliable, skilled team for landscaping and drainage work, look no further. Hudson Valley Landscaping & Drainage delivers exceptional results. I wholeheartedly recommend them!"

"Lied to me about my oil tank leaking and then when confronted about it, it was made to seem like it was no big deal that there was a leak. They did not run through any of the information with me at the end, just sign here and sign here. I left a google review informing they left debris behind, the owner or a representative responded that it was my debris, so I guess that means I am responsible for it, which is fine. However, that would have been nice to know beforehand, and when I asked the gentleman who was here doing the work about the debris he basically shrugs his shoulder and says I dont know. Beyond all that, the workmanship appears to be good so far."

FAQs for excavation projects in Cortlandt Manor, 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.
