"I hired Al to excavate a stormwater management system for my new Pole Barn. He arrived on site on time, prepared with all materials needed to dig a 775 cu ft. trench and install the required corrugated pipe and downspout clean outs, and even worked into the dark with auxiliary lighting to complete the project per township requirements before bad weather set in. I liked that even before I awarded Al the job, he had already stopped by the township zoning office to gain a better understanding of the specifics for my parcel. Although there is still some minor grading work left to do, Al was able to get me through a successful township inspection without issue. Al will be back to add topsoil and cut cleanout pipes to grade level once the ground thaws. I admire that Al frequently asks if your happy with the work throughout the process, as well as explain each step. I plan to bring Al back to finish cutting cleanouts to grade level, and I plan to hire Al to do the final landscaping."

"It is a pleasure to deal with a professional! We had front and back yard design and planting we wanted done. Part of the front work included building a retaining wall, a task not many other "providers" were willing to tackle. Greg listened patiently to our ideas and needs, promptly came back with excellent designs and worked around our vacation schedule to execute his suggestions. Because of a design change on our part, he ran out of material for the wall. When the materials arrived, he came in a light snow storm to finish the job. The value for the work performed could not be beat. We would highly recommend Greg and his crew. Please feel free to contact us if you want more info."

"We had an excellent experience from start to finish. The team was highly professional, communicated clearly, and completed the work in a timely manner. Their pricing was very fair for the quality of service provided, and they went above and beyond with a thorough clean-up after the job was done. It was truly a pleasure working with J & N Concrete Excavation LLC and I would highly recommend their services to anyone, we had such a great experience I’ve booked 2 more jobs with them."

"We hired FJP Services for both landscaping and do replace a retaining wall between 2 properties. So far, the company has done the retaining wall and they did a great job. The professional nature of the crew was tremendous. The craftmanship of the workers was also gratifying. If the other services we have hired FJP services are at the same level as the work on the retaining wall, we shall be very pleased."

FAQs for excavation projects in North Wales, PA

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.
