"They did a great job of removing an old fence and installing a 6' wooden fence around my backyard including a large double gate by my driveway. They were prompt and professional throughout and their crew were all very nice and polite while working through some brutally hot days. They also made the extra effort to check with my neighbors and tried hard to make sure they were good with what was happening as well. When there were some obstacles such as what we think may have been the remains of an old stone wall and even a boulder buried along the property line, they found a way to make it work which I really appreciated. I would hire them again and will be reaching out to them in the future as I figure out what other projects need to be done!"

"Removal was efficient even though there was a lot more concrete below ground than expected. Made a trip to the hardware store for extra sand to fill in the hole and even hooked me up with a new hoop!"

"Kenneth Brothers' service was exceptional - they were communicative, prompt, professional, and did an excellent job. We hired Kenneth Brothers to remove several cubic yards of soil from a yard project we had done ourselves. They not only removed the soil from the side yard, but left the site in excellent condition, showing exceptional care for our lawn and garden. We highly recommend their services."

FAQs for excavation projects in Eaton Rapids, MI

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.
