"George and his company were very prompt and professional. He offered great advice on what was needed and he gave a very honest assessment of what needed to be done and how I could save money without sacrificing quality or the integrity of the finished product. These are qualities you don’t see much anymore when profit is the priority. Do yourself a big favor and use George and his team at M&W Excavating. I highly recommend them.9"

"My initial inquiry on Angi was for Land clearing and trenching for electrical cable. When my first referral did not follow up for in person consultation, Angi then referred me to Travis Norris at TNT Underground construction who met with me at the property site within a few days to discuss trenching and underground wiring. Travis was quite confident he could complete the job and discussed the best options for finishing the project. Within a week, Travis and his crew were onsite with a finalized plan that employed more sophisticated options than we had discussed at no additional cost. Travis supervised and helped crew the entire day and even lent his assistance, at times, to a separate outside crew on a related project to help expedite their work. My large project was completed in one day with minimal disruption to landscaping and no concomitant problems with existing electrical, water or gas lines or geothermal piping that are always a concern when boring or trenching is involved. Travis is a knowledgeable and dedicated foreman who is eager for business and takes pride in his work. Since I was new to the area, I consider myself lucky to have found him through Angi Services."

FAQs for excavation projects in Jefferson City, MO

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.
