"Our yard needed grading , sod , and fence repair , and we are so glad we choose Atlas Tree to do the work. Henry came out and went over what was needed, then in a few days the crew came in and created the perfect yard and design where we can entertain and just relax. They even helped with updating the sprinkler system , replacing and repairing our wood fence , and were great at correcting issues with standing water. Customer service was excellent handling my questions and concerns also. Thank you for a job well done !"

"Despite heavy rains, Felipe and his team were able to completely renovate a large, hilly backyard space in about ten days.  They worked in the rain, cleaning out the downspouts and installing new drain pipes.  They completely cleared my yard, pulled out the old cement patio and bricks and overgrowth and installed a large stone patio that is beautiful.  I was surprised at how quickly and thoroughly they worked.  While it was a little over the budget that I had planned, there was a lot of labor intensive work, such as creating a stone rimmed flower bed that extended about six feet due to the slope of the yard.  I would highly recommend them if you need a lot of work completed in a short amount of time for a decent price with great stone work!

"Salazar replaced two separate retaining walls at my residence, demolishing and removing old/inadequate brick walls and replacing with proper full size blocks and capstones. In addition, they added a small concrete pad adjoining my Ssltillo patio and installed matching tile. Their work is very high quality and exhibits superb craftsmanship and care. I highly recommend them !"

"Excellent contractor . Will never use any other but them. They had ethics and provided a detailed explanation of the work they would be performing. They lived up to my expectations. My driveway looks great and other repairs that were done exceeded my expectations . Can’t say enough good about this company! The work was done in the timeframe they specified. They did what they said they would do and did it when they said they would as well. Again, they will remain my contractor going forward for any future needs."

FAQs for excavation projects in Marietta, GA

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.
