"Lawrence was an excellent contractor, he contacted and coordinated with the gas company and with Galloway co-op. He checked in regularly with me and even tried to get a temporary tank when it was discovered that my propane levels would not last until the delivery date. He wasted no time and came early to start excavation a day before delivery and that a great job burying and leveling the Earth after the tank was installed. Very professional, would recommend."

"Home advisor review system has too narrow a project focus to accurately categorize the excellent work that Green With Envy Construction Services did for us today. There was no siding work involved, but that is the closest category we thought to use for installation of two exterior entry doors. Joe and his crew are extremely efficient and creative when it comes to making something 'fit' in a space that is a little less than anticipated. You would never know it wasn't an exact fit. They are courteous and involve the homeowner when decisions need to be made, and they explain how things are being done. This is not something you get from every individual hired to perform a job that is beyond your own capabilities. The job was completed in much less time than I expected, including total cleanup of the work areas. I would recommend Green With Envy Construction Services without hesitation to anyone in need of their services."

"Excellent service, was able to take down a very tall tree with rotten limbs hanging over my barn and garden shed."
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.
