"Outstanding work, respectful and professional crew, easy to work with, very fair pricing. They did a lot of excavating and spreading of dirt & gravel, built a beautiful rock wall along with site prep for a shop spot. We would hire them again, we highly recommended this company,"

"Finally found our handyman! The team at Generous Home Services was exceptional to work with. They were responsive, on time, friendly, professional, and thorough. I couldn’t be happier with the work that was done. A project that was once a headache that I kept putting off is finally done, and their work exceeded my expectations. I’m already scoping out other work for them to help us with in the future; I wish we could have them on retainer. Finding a reliable handyman is rare, and I’m elated that this company is in our area. I won’t hire anyone else moving forward."

Customers say: Quick response

"Great team, great work, great communication. We had a big job removing our back lawn and existing patio and pouring a much larger well finished patio. Beginning to end they kept us informed about what was being done when and why it was being done. They are a one stop shop that can do it all with a team of employees that work so hard and so fast that I wanted to poach them and offer them a job on the spot. We had one small concern and when we called they showed up immediately on a Saturday morning to address it. Our neighbor had the same job performed by a different company and paid 2k more. Five stars all day."

"Lane and his helper (sorry I can’t remember name) from Granite Plumbing removed a heating oil tank from basement that was over 1/4 full , drained tank and removed. Very professional, quick and careful. There clean up was immaculate. I appreciate that he was able to adapt to my schedule and come so quickly. I will be contacting Lane for future jobs. I would recommend Granite Plumbing. Thank you Lane"

FAQs for excavation projects in La Center, WA

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.
