"They were very professional. Arrived on time, did what they were contracted to do. I did all the foot work to get permits, however they were very aware of what permits we needed to apply for and did help with on site problems with the inspectors. I am very please with the work they did filling in my swimming pool. Would I hire them again....YES, they are providing me with estimate on a new project. Wonderful people. Mrs. H"

"Mark and his crew did a great job adding stone to our long driveway. Mark got the right color and insured that his crew understood what I wanted done. His crew leveled the driveway wonderfully, and overall, I couldn't be happier."

"We are so grateful for your service, prompt and reliable. The entire crew who came out to work on our sewer line repair was so kind and extremely knowledgeable. When I had a follow up question, they came right back out to check the work, and went above and beyond to make sure my concerns were handled. I highly recommend your company. From our very first emergency call to the completion of the job, to the grass that is already growing to cover the big dig! Thank you for making a very difficult situation as calm and easy as possible. Jenn & Dave Peter, Columbia MD."

"It went wonderful. They were aware we were having a graduation party the following month, and they completed all work prior to the date. This was done even though we had had a rainy period during the construction. They installed sod to assure our party could take place without any inconvenience. PieScape construction workers were extremely polite and diligent regarding their work. We are very, very pleased with the outcome and received so many compliments about the work that was done.

"Devon responded very quickly after I put in my information to Angi. He was fair with negotiation and he and his team showed up quickly. They worked efficiently and were professional, courteous, helpful and pleasant. I needed a 65 foot trench dug 2 feet deep and 2 feet wide. The team did an excellent job. Went above and beyond when they came upon a large tree stump underground, and had to excavate through and around it. I’m looking forward to working with them again soon."

FAQs for excavation projects in Gibson Island, MD

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.
