"We hired Dave to remove some ballast and dirt from a staged testing area we had set up to test switch machines here at Amtrak. They arrived on time and completed the job ahead of schedule despite some unforeseen obstacles. Highly recommend."

"I needed a rather major swale added to both my property and my neighbors property to divert significant stormwater that occurs during intense storms. I had a shed and garden structure in the way which they easily made disappear. After dealing with a major sewage backup when we got hit with the runoff , I feel crazy that I'm excited to see heavy rain and for this swale work. These guys are professional and I consider experts in their field. All that and a great price to boot. I highly recommend them any excavation project large or small. Derek Himes"

"They have done 3 jobs for me and everyone was one on time, on budget, and on point. What I wanted done was completed they way I wanted it. They are currently doing site prep for a garage."
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.
