"They came to look at some work on a Saturday and just did it rite then. I wasn't expecting that so was thrilled. Did a great job on a totally miserable project, got it done quickly, cleaned up and cost was very fair. I'd recommend them in a heartbeat"

"Josh and Zach are fantastic! They can do anything! Building on heavily treed undeveloped acreage. The built the construction road, dug foundation pits, cleared brush, thinned trees, dug trenches for water lines and electric conduit. They work directly with other contractors and county to get specs, handle inspections, ask questions. Very professional, highest quality work, reasonably priced. I have never worked with a better contractor!"

"Scope of project was removal of existing concrete pavers and hemlock stump, then installing 7-9 rockery flat steps made of natural basalt rockery rocks. We were thoroughly happy with the work from Seattle Rockeries. Harry and his crew were very knowledgeable, fast and friendly. Sharing pics of before and after."

"Gary and his crew worked very quickly and efficiently on a challenging demolition job that required a great deal of precision. They also did a drain field for my septic system and both projects were completed in 2 days. His crew were hard working, polite and left the job site swept, picked up and very clean. Gary is a pro! No contractor drama. He showed up on time and got right to work. I highly recommend Gaston Brothers Excavating."

"They came out to give me an estimate on the work I requested. They were prompt, professional and honest. Gave me a free roof inspection. Told my roof was in great shape and that I didn't need the cleaning that I thought I was going to need. Gave me some tips and advise on what I could do myself to keep my roof in great shape. They even cleaned the small area on my siding that needed it free of charge. Would definitely recommend these guys and when I do need some roof work done these will be the guys I call."

"Arcadian designs installed a paver patio and low retaining wall in the side yard of our home. They were very communicative, helpful when answering my questions and professional. They went above and beyond to ensure the design of the patio was functional and beautiful. The work was completed on schedule and with great attention to detail, plus a 5 year warranty that other bidders didn’t offer. I would highly recommend Arcadian for hardscape work!"

FAQs for excavation projects in Medina, WA

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.
