"It's not to often you find a craftsman that is honest, looks out for your interests, really knows his stuff and wants to get you what you need to do the job, but not over price/over work the job for their own profit. Nick at Pacific Crest Plumbing is that kind of craftsman. He listened to what I had to say, thought about what I needed and then took the time to educate and explain what he was suggesting for the job and why he thought it was a good idea. He was personable and professional and did a great job. The folks at Pacific Crest Plumbing seemed more interested in doing a good job and building a long term relationship then anything else and for me, that's the best kind of craftsmen around. I couldn't be happier with the job they did."

"We selected NW Outdoor Living and Landscapes because it was well reviewed on Angie's List. When we initially met with Robert, we liked him and his ideas for our backyard. Going back and forth with Robert, we came up with the design we wanted. Then his crew came to build it. We were very impressed with them. They were very knowledgeable, professional and competent. They built a backyard that we love."

FAQs for excavation projects in Government Camp, OR

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.
