"They did a great job! My roof looks great! Reliable and kept me well informed about everything. They kept cost in mind and cleaned up nicely after themselves. Serge even came out late to tarp the roof until it could get repaired so that I didnâ t have any further damage to the house waiting for the roof. They were very nice to work with. Great people. I canâ t say enough good things about them!"

"I recently worked with Stanly Septic & Grading for a septic system alteration project, and couldn't be more satisfied with the results. From start to finish, Kollin and team demonstrated exceptional professionalism and commitment to quality. Kollin took the time to thoroughly assess our needs and provided us with a clear and detailed plan for the project. His knowledge is impressive, and he explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. The work was carried out efficiently, with minimal disruption to our property. The team was punctual and left the site clean and tidy. What stood out the most was the level of communication throughout the process, Kollin was always quick to respond to my calls and texts. The project was completed on time and within the budget we discussed. Thank you, Kollin and team at Stanly Septic & Grading, for a job well done!"

FAQs for excavation projects in New London, NC

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.
