"They put in new drains and a dry well for our driveway, carport, and front yard. When the first dry well wasn't large enough to hold all the runoff from a heavy storm, they came back and added a second for free. Excellent customer service, very responsive, good work."

"Definitely one of the better contractors I have worked with. First, Clayton's experience told him the job was bigger than I thought it was. After they got into the job it became obvious that the scale was what he thought it was. They stayed on the job working hard the whole time and got it done properly in almost exactly in the time frame they said they would. This was excavation for a turnaround on a steep hillside, making a deep cut on the uphill side and grading the whole are flat with fill on the downhill side from the cut. It was a complex job definitely one for pros. These folks know their business and I plan to use them again for future work. They also have fairly new well maintained equipment so there was no time lost due to breakdowns etcetera. This job was a follow on to a smaller project that they also did a super job with. Great experience overall."

FAQs for excavation projects in North Plains, OR

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.
