"Everything about this experience spoke of the highest professionalism. Their representative answered my Monday phone inquiry in a timely fashion, and arrived promptly the next day to examine the car and provide an estimate. In all of her communications she was friendly and obviously sincere?and successful?in her determination to perform the best work possible. On Wednesday she arrived first thing in the morning; finished cleaning the interior of our Honda Accord within two hours; and did a splendid job of it.

"They paved my huge driveway in only two days and the outcome is excellent. Franklin arrived with a whole team of men and they worked very hard and did a quality job. I can totally recommend Villa and Sons and I will hire them again for another job in the spring."

"We had to have our under ground oil tank removed and an above ground tank installed. New England Environmental Services turned a scary project into something I wish I had done before. They performed all parts of the job with professionalism and in an extremely timely manner. From the initial review and quote process through the excavation of the old tank and installation of the above ground model - everything went smoothly. The placement site and surrounding areas were kept as clean as possible and they left the areas looking undisturbed. They worked with the town to get all the permits and requirements in place to meet our deadlines. They kept my husband and I informed and updated all along the way. And they were always ready to answer questions and give feedback that helped us understand the whole process. I would highly recommend them."

"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."

"Last spring I decided to build a new stone patio and kitchen and selected Elite Development to do our project. They were not the cheapest but it was clear to us that these guys know what they are doing. From layout, to construction, to final turf and plantings they knocked it out of the park. Could not be happier and would not hesitate to hire them again. Alan F"

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.
