"Raymond, Jamie and Mitch brought in a horizontal drilling team and replaced the blown out galvanized main water feed from the street meter to the house in 8 hours. 80' of new poly 1" water line all the way into the basement with zero impact to our landscape (see photo). Kudos to the drilling team who tunneled under an old dogwood tree, under a concrete sidewalk and dropped the line right on the mark at the exact depth. If you want the best, call GForce."

"The gentleman that arrived at my home to perform the project was very well trained with many years of experience. I could not have asked for a more polite and professional worker. He went right to work as soon as he arrived and did not waste any time completing the task. The prices were reasonable even though I asked for a little extra work that wasn’t really required. They replaced the guts in the tanks of both my toilets and they now work great !!"

"Very responsive and professional group.  They replaced all my defective corrugated drain system with PVC drains, added new catch basins, and replaced all disturbed landscape.  They worked us in a Saturday to expedite our issues given significant water entry happening to our basement.  Even when a crew member accidently damaged an AC line during excavation, they were responsive to get it fixed with a top HVAC crew right away.  Price seemed reasonable for the amount of work, had a huge crew out with 4 trucks and worked all day.  Money well spent.  Using same company for gutter services.

FAQs for excavation projects in Forest Park, GA

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.
