"C2G was excellent during the entire process. they had a quote to my in less than 24 hours and promptly answered my questions when I called them. Once I selected them they were able to schedule the job just a few days out and I could not have been more satisfied with the outcome. The two workers who did the job were knowledgeable and respectful. In over 20 years of home ownership I would have to say this was the best experience I ever had with a home contractor."

"They were excellent, from start to finish. My project was to remove a very old underground oil tank. Carmine came to visit the site and provide an estimate. He is very knowledgeable, friendly and and easy to work with. Jennifer from their office followed up with the estimate and was also easy to work with and very flexible on scheduling the work.. And the crew that did the job also were great. Castlton came in at exactly the price they quoted, (which was very reasonable compared to other quotes) did the work when they said they would do it, left my property in great condition, and as far as I am concerned, they are the top choice for this type of project."

"Very pleased with the outcome of this oil tank removal project. Jeff and his co-worker were everything you want in a professional contractor. Timely, courteous, efficient and left a clean job site. Price was reasonable. I'd recommend New England Environmental and will go back to them if I need any more of this type of work in the future."

"Frank's crew expanded my driveway footprint, built beautiful stone retaining walls, and finished the job with the best paving work I have seen. A tip of the hat to the crew that was hard working and polite, and who worked through the extremely hot weather of late late August. Best Value out there. Thanks for the great work!"

"We had are gravel driveway re-graded with additional gravel, along with re-doing our Belgium block apron. We requested several proposals and found ADR PRO BUILDERS LANDSCAPING's to be the most responsive and flexible. We worked with Eligio who was knowledgeable and responsive to what we were looking to accomplish. He met with us on a Saturday and had a proposal within a few days. His proposal was also very reasonable from a pricing perspective. He started the work on the date he promised and completed his work on a time. He had a sizable crew. I also found it refreshing not to have a long contract loaded with legalize and escape clauses for any responsibility and attaching risks to us related for non payment. ADR had a very straight forward payment requirement. Bottom line we would strongly recommend ADR, and have already done so."

"David from Belinquete immediately understood what we were trying to accomplish and provided thoughtful, thorough recommendations throughout the process. His quote was delivered promptly, and once we accepted it, he quickly scheduled the installation. David and his team completed the work exactly as promised, on time and with great attention to detail. We had high expectations going into the project, and Belinquete exceeded them in every respect. I would not hesitate to hire David and his team again and highly recommend them to anyone seeking quality workmanship and exceptional service."

FAQs for excavation projects in New Rochelle, 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.
