"Two man crew. On-time. Assessed area, brought in back hoe, very organized, dug hole, and removed tank. Removed all hose lines in the house where connections were. Filled in holes, cleared area, very professional and through. We purchased top soil and reseeded lawn after C2G left."

"What an amazing experience we had working with Jerry at StoneWall Landscapes! Jerry is an excellent communicator and problem solver, both in the quote phase as well as the execution phase of the project. As a non-expert in the paving and drainage departments, I have some rough ideas of what needs to get done, but Jerry made it into a reality with lots of great options and their pros and cons. We love our new permeable parking space and privacy fence, as well as our renovated drywell and the solving of a drainage problem caused by some new construction last year. Throughout the project Jerry provided excellent communication and workmanship. Jerry was on-site very frequently and personally handled the excavation. I think that great independent businesses often come down to one great individual; Jerry is that guy. We would work with Jerry again in a heartbeat."

"Highly recommend. 35 years of experience really shows. Entire process took less than 2.5 hours. They had all the right tools and equipment. Absolutely clean afterwards. Great people to talk with about their experiences. Price quoted was the price charged and it was a lot lower than I expected. I would hire them again."

"Prime Construction Company took what was a stressful situation and made it easy for our family. After road salting ruined our well, we turned to Prime to get us connected to the city's water. They handled all permitting and contracted-out support when needed for tree services and plumbing. We were on city water on schedule, despite some unexpected boulders blocking the way. Now, the yard is on its way to looking better than ever as the grass they planted is sprouting. The team took considerable time addressing our questions and concerns and was incredibly kind to our young, excited children. We highly recommend their services!"

FAQs for excavation projects in Dedham, MA

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.
