"I had an excavating job that needed a lot of imagination to do right. Chris at Bulldog had this imagination and the talent to pull off a job that even exceeded my expectations. This guy stayed with the job from beginning to the end always keeping me up on what was going on and what he was going to do. Any subs he had to bring on board were top notch and did excellent work. If you need work like this don't hesitate call Bulldog this guy will do you right and then some!"

"Elite Piping Solutions is an amazing company. I wish I could give them a 6-star rating because they are truly exceptional! They were prompt, courteous, and efficient at every step of the process. They followed up on my query within a couple of hours, came to inspect exactly on the dot, did the research to get me the top-of-the-line replacement, and gave me a very competitive estimate. I independently verified the details, and everything was correct and accurate. The crew came when promised, did the installation well within the estimated time and left the place spotless. Not only that, but they also carefully took out parts of the system that could be re-used, neatly packaged, and left them in the basement for me. Other estimates I got were much higher, including extra charges for coming within a day. Another company would not or could not replace my system (which is top of the line) and added additional charges for "adjustments'! This company is the best!"

"There was a crack in the basement wall from top to bottom that was leaking water onto floor after a heavy rain. James suggested several options but suggested the inexpensive crack filler and sealer first. I had other companies give me estimates and he was by far the cheapest for the same exact work. They arrived on time, cleaned up and are very nice and helpful. Very knowledgeable about waterproofing."

"We were very,very pleased with Brian your local handyman. He repaired our deck quickly and very inexpensivly. There were others that came and made the job appear to be much larger and asked thousands instead of hundreds. Have already recommended him to a friend who also hired him. Very, very good choice."

FAQs for excavation projects in Manorville, NY

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.
