"Andrew and his crew were very professional, came out and got to work immediately. I saw immediate results before they even completed the project. Would definitely recommend him for all things excavating, drainage (french drain &, sump pit installation) and landscaping issues."

"They went above and beyond in their cleanup, thanks. Done in an hour for 250 bucks, debris hauled away. Back yard looks great, my health issues prevent too much work on my part, they helped this old vet greatly."

"Excellent job with the repair. We had an extra cost involved but I was informed prior to the start of the job that this may be the case as the job was to repair a crack in the old cast iron pipe. The extra cost was absolutely necessary and with an older home, I was expecting the worst-case scenario! Turns out the extra cost was VERY affordable! The gentleman explained in detail what was going to be done and how much the cost would be. I sincerely appreciate their honesty1"

"Justin was very professional and his work is outstanding. However, his communication should be better with the customer. There were times when he was gone for the day with us not knowing what was happening. To Justin’s credit, we did have rain during the week which could have made a difference in communication. But like I said, he did a great job."

FAQs for excavation projects in London, OH

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.
