"None of the listed projects is what he has done for us, though he did decomission some water tanks in greenhouses. Brian has been our handyman for several years. The large, complex house generated a variety of problems. A friend recommended him when 2 others I tried were unable to solve greenhouse problems. Brian came up with solutions. He handled solatube leaks, painting, taking down a geodesic dome and turning the garden into a deerproof but exposed garden. He has fixed any problem that we have had. When we moved to a retirement home, the local repair people were unable to see how to mount a flat sculpture we have on the wall, but when we showed Brian the problem, he solved it immediately and neatly. He is a brilliant problem solver, completely flexible about all sorts of work, well supplied with the necessary tools (and can get helpers if needed). I cannot recommend him highly enough. He is superb and reliable."

"Cherry Excavating did a fantastic job preparing the site for construction of my 40' x 52' building. They removed several trees, stripped top soil, hauled fill, dug all footers and ditches for electric lines, and final graded after construction. Everything turned out great and I would highly recommend them for all of your excavation needs."

FAQs for excavation projects in Lewistown, PA

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.
