"Jason and his family are excellent at what they do and offer competitive and fair pricing for their jobs. One thing I admire about their work is the complete attention to detail and aim for perfection. I have hired Jason for virtually every project on our property to include split rail fencing, backfilling our driveway, building a hot tub pad, raising our sump pump grade, and building an RV pad. We look forward to hiring him again for anything in the future."

"Easton was great to work with and we would highly recommend him! He built our road and a campsite area next to our house, and then we hired him again to do our pad for our barn and an arena. He was always on time, professional, and did work that has held up well. We will definitely hire him again if we need another project, especially because his prices were great. 10/10 recommend"

"Setting the Standard! The crew that came out to my house was very skilled, efficient, responsive and easy to communicate with. Against the Fences made sure the work was well coordinated so there were no delays. They kept the work flowing so the project was completed on time. My new deck and sun room looks amazing! It feels like we are in a brand new home. I am truly thankful I called for their services. I would not hesitate to recommend Against the Fences to everyone."

"Mountain top Enterprises got back to me very timely. They were on time, go getters that got the job done. There were some alterations ,upgrades that needed done and they troubleshooted it perfect. They fixed the well leak, added a pressure valve and even helped get my sprinkler system on. Hats off to them. It was a little more expensive than the quote but well worth it."

FAQs for excavation projects in Hot Springs, MT

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.
