"I was very happy with it. It went very smoothly, there were no issues. I live in a neighborhood where a lot of people drive up and down. To clear the lot, it took a lot. I'd say about a dozen huge loads left every day. At the end of each day, the job site was always cleaned up very neatly. He takes a lot of pride in his work and he's very proud of trying to get it where you'll like it. The price was reasonable and competitive with others. He highly exceeded my expectations. I can't say enough good things about him."

Once arrived (a little late but thatâ s ok) they immediately started work and didnâ t stop until completed. Excellent work and amazing cleanup. Definitely recommend and wonâ t hesitate to hire again if needed."

"Ernesto and his guys did a fantastic job at a fair price. The job was to root rake, fill and level approximately two acres of land on Pine Island. Ernesto is the most easy-going, honest and conscientious contractor I have expereinced in my many years here Florida. He was unconcerned about payment until the job was done to my satisfaction, and he completed everything I asked for or expected. As I understand it now, he went over and above what most land clearing professionals do. He brought his excavator back after the job would normally have been finished to clean up the perimeter of fallen trees and brush left behind by the forest mulching guy. He also levelled the area to my satisfaction. I was extremely pleased with the final result and would hire him again in a heartbeat."

FAQs for excavation projects in Lehigh Acres, FL

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.
