"Even though I did not hire Suddreth I would totally recommend him. He arrived early for our appointment and he was upfront with me that the work I wanted to be done is not possible for my budget at this time. I would trust him to be honest with me if I hired him."

"Hired them to clear property lines for a fence install. They did such an amazing job that I then hired them to clear out the interior property. They exceeded my expectations and were so helpful and communicative during the entire process. I plan on bringing them back for further jobs on the future. Excellent service."

"Javier and his team did a beautiful job. Our old garage was run down, lots of exterior rot, busted windows, and they made it look like a brand new building! The crew was here on time every single day and worked until the job was done, not skipping around other job sites. Great skills, great communication, and we have already discussed other future projects with them."

Customers say: True professional
"The two men from A-1 Construction & Roofing were very kind and courteous. Brett was prompt in his arrival for the inspection of my roof and giving me options on repair. I chose the 45 mil rubber roof overlayment for the repair as it was more cost effective for me and Brett said it had a 50 year warranty. He called and got the material cost and gave me a fair quote for completing the job. He and his coworker Chris came with the materials and promptly started the job. They were very thorough and professional with the repairs as I observed and answered any questions I had. They did a super job on my mobile home roof repair and I am very happy with the results. It looks great. These guys are very professional, easy and fun to work with. I highly recommend A-1 Construction & Roofing for your roofing or construction needs. I rate them 5 Stars."

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.
