"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."

Customers say: Quick response

"Communication was great. They got the job done in a timely manner. The only thing I didnâ t like was they tore down two of our sheds. They were behind a fence and they had to go around our camper so he charged us an extra $400. That seemed a little steep but we understood the extra cost. We liked them so much we hired them for more work."

"It was Great! The technician throughly explained what was wrong and what needed repaired/replaced, after that I was given an estimate and the technician gave me ample time to make my decision. I ok’d the work and he began. Took about 1 1/2 hours and the tech cleaned up my bathroom after he was done. I’m so glad I called Apex Plumbing. They will be my go to Plumbers for all my plumbing needs. Highly recommend."

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.
