"Francisco and Flaco did an absolutely amazing job preparing our yard for our deck. They graded the area and removed all the overburden, moved our sprinkler valves, dug the holes for and poured footings for three support posts, and then poured a concrete slab for storage as well as the rest of the footings for the deck. They were prompt, kept their work area clean, communicated well, and were willing to work with the fact that I recently had knee surgery and had dogs that needed to use the yard periodically during the day. They also did a fantastic job of cleaning up the yard and power washing the driveway when they were all through. I would highly, highly recommend Knockout Landscaping for any job that you have upcoming. Pricing was very reasonable and they went the extra mile to make sure everything was just as we wanted."

"Gregory Excavation did a fantastic job excavating the sod from my front yard; the experience was positive and professional from start to finish. Chase took great care to make sure the job was completed carefully, thoroughly, and on time, and when he finished he meticulously cleaned and swept the whole area before he left. I recommend Gregory Excavation without reservation and will know who to call the next time I need more work of this kind done"

"Terraform Groundworks is a highly-skilled, professional and quality-driven landscape company! We are SO PLEASED with the masterful work they completed at our mountain home. Carter worked tirelessly excavating, leveling, designing, and creating a blissful landscape for us. His artistry, symmetry and attention to detail is remarkable! He carefully and meticulously placed over 500 tons of beautiful native stone, that he hand-picked for us at the mountain quarry, to construct a magnificent wall that is over 280 feet long and 30 feet tall. It is truly an artistic masterpiece! Our entire experience with Terraform Groundworks was a rare pleasure and resounding success! Communication with them was clear, effective and immediate. They were punctual, honest, attentive and genuinely concerned about staying on budget and completing our job in a timely manner. Our job site was clean, safe and well-maintained at all times. They offer competitive pricing and maintain the highest level of quality!"

FAQs for excavation projects in Kearns, UT

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.
