"Fast friendly service. Ended up getting 12 yds for a good price. Good quality soil with just a few rock in it, but perfect for integrating with native soil."

"Great contractor, knowledgeable, listened to my ideas and implemented them. Tough project that required an experienced operator. Price was a little on the high side, but the equipment rental is very expensive."

"I hired George to take down and remove a 13x27 foot cabin on my property, deliver 95 tons of gravel to my site, and install a culvert underneath my road into the cabin site. George did a fantastic job with the demolition. He coordinated the delivery and pickup of the dumpster, he called the electric company to make sure there were no issues with disconnecting the power from the cabin, and had everything lined up for the start of the project. He cleaned up and removed all the cabin debris, the site was very clean upon completion. The culvert job and gravel delivery was great as well. I would highly recommend hiring George for any type of work in these areas, as he seems to be an honest man, and does a great job in a timely manner."
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.
