I am a construction foreman for a company out of Napoleon, OH. But I do work on the side and the weekends. I’m trying to do it full time. In the mean time I crush concrete, pour concrete, pave roads and parking lots, and do a little bit of everything.

"the arrived when promised, did a very professional job and cleaned up after themselves. No complaints what so ever.
They presented 3 choices when estimating the job so it made the decision easier.
This was my mother's home, and as she is on a fixed income, she was most appreciative of the ease of decision making with the tiered pricing. She was also most impressed with the curteous nature of the salesman/owner who came out to uote the job
she would definately use them again

FAQs for excavation projects in Erie, 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.
