"I contacted DLP Contracting after a water leak damaged our bar. David explained the steps and the time frame required. He communicated throughout the process. His workers were always on time and worked diligently to complete each task. They also thoroughly cleaned up after each days work. The final product was perfect. DLP does projects of all sizes. I wholeheartedly recommend DLP Contracting."

"Look no further if you are considering rock grinding and mulching! We have several acres with trails but were unable to mow due to massive rocks. We wanted to be able to mow and drive the trails and GT Site Services made that possible. Our guest house had a backyard that you couldn't do anything with due to the boulders sticking up out of the ground, it was literally only weed eating territory but now that it is smooth we can do something with the backyard. They also took out this random slab of concrete that the previous owners put in that served no purpose for us and just blocked a spot we could use for parking. They did all this in 2 days where I was for sure would have at least taken a week! They showed up on time and literally "grinded" all day. I will recommend them to everyone. Brandon listened to our thoughts and ideas and him and Patrick made it happen. I love being able to just walk the property and all the trails now!"

"Kip took the time to evaluate what needed to be done before proceeding and offered suggestions on what should be left instead clearing my entire property. He clearly explained the process and jumped on the job within a week of approval from my neighborhood POA. Extremely satisfied with work!"

FAQs for excavation projects in New Braunfels, TX

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.
