"We are so pleased with the outcome of this project. We had grading issues identified at inspection that we procrastinated on for 3.5 years. We went back and forth over what to do with this area to fix the grade and we ended up going with a retaining wall and backfill. Great Plains did great work - I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves!"

"He did an amazing job! Completed the job in one day, 230 linear feet of chain link fence, and three gates. He even came out the next day and lowered a few spots for us for free. And ontop of the great job that was done, he also helped me with cutting down a tree that had fallen in my backyard due to a storm that had rolled through the previous night. Great work! Great prices!"

"They showed up on the day promised and transformed our yard! We had a sidewalk put in by a different contractor and it was put in above the grade of our yard instead of dug in. This caused issues with the grade and drainage in our yard. Rick and his crew brought out tons of dirt and their equipment and had the yard looking great with positive drainage in no time. They planted grass seed and now, a couple weeks later, we have new grass coming in and a great looking yard. They were courteous and cleaned up after themselves. I would definitely hire this company for another future project. Rick and his guys were great!!"

"John & Jeff were the only company that came out to our demo project site to give us a bid. They showed up and started when they said they would and finished ahead of schedule with a huge demo project. We had two homes including a concrete basement removed along with several sheds and trash. They went above and beyond to make our future home site was beautiful and were reasonably priced compared to other bids we received. Thank you!"

"Overall my experience with Hummingbird was excellent.  The quality of their work was top-quality, they finished the job in the time frame that they said they would, and for the agreed upon price.  The owner (Ken) was responsive in his communication, and you could tell that he wanted to make sure that we were satisfied with the work that they had done.  They only reason for 'good' grades above is because the price was a little more than expected even though it was the price agreed on, and they ran a little late a couple of days.

"Integrity was very quick to respond to my need of driveway work. They gave an estimate verbally. The work was completed in a timely manner. Some concerns are that probably could have used another load of gravel and that the was itemized bill at the end of the job. There actually was no bill presented."

FAQs for excavation projects in Hesston, KS

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.
