"5 Stars for Francisco. They delivered solid work, were very punctual, and always left the job site clean if they left for the day. I am very please with the outcome of the concrete posts for the pergola - they did the job quickly but carefully, and took extra care to ensure the posts were equal and level. I appreciated the proactive checking in at various stages of the project. They are not the cheapest option, but you absolutely get what you pay for. I have used them for two projects so, and I would use them again."

"Gregory Excavation did a fantastic job excavating the sod from my front yard; the experience was positive and professional from start to finish. Chase took great care to make sure the job was completed carefully, thoroughly, and on time, and when he finished he meticulously cleaned and swept the whole area before he left. I recommend Gregory Excavation without reservation and will know who to call the next time I need more work of this kind done"

FAQs for excavation projects in Magna, UT

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.
