"I had Anthony Macari install my septic system during the winter months of 2017-18. Weather was a factor during the winter, but Anthony completed the project in a timely manner."

"Kyle was courteous, professional, on-time, and did what we asked for him to do. He was attentive to detail and he completed the work efficiently. We asked him to demo a wall, build out another wall so that a door could be installled, and extend a built-in wall ledge. He left the room clean and and hauled away old and un-needed materials (including the demo). Also very reasonable in cost!"

"I contacted Danco at the end of the good weather season, to do an outside job, so I knew it might take some time to complete. Well, I could not be happier wirh our choice to go with Danco. Due to inclement weather, it took a little while to get everything done, but Danny always kept us informed. When we had a good weather day, he was back and completed everything. I would definitely recommend Danco. They will be my go to guys for my next project."

"Picturesque Incorporated did an amazing job! Highly recommend using them. Mike is honest and completely reasonable in pricing. He will work with you and your budget in order for you to be happy. He put crushed stone under my deck. I came home and everything looked perfect. He even watered my trees. I have called him multiple times for his insight on landscaping projects, i will be using him very soon again for multiple projects. Thank you Mike!"

FAQs for excavation projects in East Providence, RI

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.
