"Having spent 22 yrs in the paving and site development industry, I could tell by the way Jacob describe what he was going to do to correct my drainage problem that he knew what he was doing. Jacob kept me informed of his schedule and showed up when he promised. They had the right size equipment, so that no damage was done to my to lawn they had to cross to get to the area that needed repair. My lawn drains properly know and have had no problems since. They did a great job for a reasonable price."

"I had an incredible experience working with Josh and his crew. Iâ ve been renovating a 100 year old farmhouse, doing much of the work myself. But when faced with a time crunch, I needed to hire someone. I was even more excited to hire them as I live in Milton and prefer to contract with local businesses. Josh responded right away to my quote inquiry (very convenient to initially text with him) and he was able to jump on the demolition project quickly. He and his crew of four guys cleared out three bedrooms, a hallway, 3 closets, and a bathroom in three days! This was a particularly challenging job as the walls and ceiling are constructed of plaster and lathe. Additionally, they left the demolition area in beautiful shape for me to take the next steps in home renovation. I could not be happier with their work. The pricing was more than reasonable given the heavy nature of the work. I am thrilled with the results and look forward to working with them again in the future."

FAQs for excavation projects in Janesville, WI

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.
