"They have been very responsive to ongoing flooding into our crawl space from high Lake Michigan waters and our lake outlet being plugged frequently. Still a work in progress as conditions change. We are not at our cottage and trust them to be our watch dog and keep us out of harm's way."

"These are a dedicated couple of founders who really bring a lot of experience to the table even though they are young. The best part about them is they are very flexible and willing to look at many aspects of the job creatively to create a quote and a final result that the customer is happy with. I had a other companies kind of strong arming me with â this is how itâ s doneâ - and only Higher Earth were able to consider what we were looking to achieve and the price that we were hoping to achieve it and make it happen!"

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.
