"If you need to replace your underground oil tank, then you're freaking out about the expense and possible catastrophic complications.   So do yourself a favor and call Willard.    This wonderful family company makes everything easy.    

Our very positive experience started with the initial visit by Josh.    Then company owner Billy Willard answered all our many questions.   Considering the options, we decided to purchase a Roth tank.    Not just more compact than other brands, it also has a 30-year warranty.   Willard is the only company in Virginia certified to install Roths.    

Our work was scheduled quickly.    Willard called Miss Utility and also our county -- we didn't have to do a thing.   The Roth tank fit neatly into our garage and Billy and his crew took great care with every detail of its complicated installation.    The removal of our underground tank went really well too, even though the tank turned out to be quite deep.    Frank and Josh worked very carefully to expose but not damage the old tank, and to transfer oil into the new tank.    Then the old tank was prepared so the residual oil could be pumped for recycling.    We hadn't even realized this step would take place, because Willard had made all the arrangements.   Next the tank was lifted and soil samples were taken.      Then, using a truckload of fill Willard supplied as well as the excavated soil, the enormous hole was filled, carefully graded and sown with grass seed.     

You can imagine how many heavy vehicles were in motion to accomplish all this, yet there was not the slightest damage to our fence, landscaping, driveway or house. 

Meanwhile, Tim was connecting the new Roth tank to our furnace, working with ingenuity around the maze of ducting. pipes and wires in our basement.   He wasn't satisfied until he was sure the connection was perfect.   

We thought the entire crew was awesome, and that opinion was validated when the county fire inspector approved everything they'd done.   The Willards and Josh Delaney were not just expert, they were really friendly and considerate.    It was a pleasure to have them around,  They turned what had been a huge nightmare into a perfectly executed solution.

"They came to do the estimate the next day after I made contact with them.  So a price was reached and they started work about a week and a half later (the delay was due to rain and other commitments). They began on a Tuesday and finished the following Tuesday - and that week included at least two rain days.
They arrived promptly when they said they would and went immediately to work.  Demolishing the existing patio was a lot of work but the job, including clean-up and haul away, was completed that first day.  On the second day they came and dug out the mud pit at the end of the driveway in preparation for pouring cement.  On Sunday they arrived and finished excavating both areas and building forms for the cement.  On Monday morning, VRN and the cement truck arrived and both areas were poured and finished.  On the following Tuesday, VRN arrived to remove the forms and haul away the last of the dirt and cement debris.  
I would like to note that the old patio included a walkway that extended from it to the back porch.  As the patio sunk, so too did this walkway.  When VRN was scoping out the job, the representative I spoke with said that the entire walkway did not have to be removed, but instead only half taken, and when the new patio and half walkway were poured, the walkway area could be used to transition the areas by blending the pitch and grade of the new area with the pitch and grade of the old, so that there were no trip-spots or odd looking areas.  After the pour and finishing, the genius of that transition was evident.  I have a smooth, continuous walkway now, something I thought I'd have to sacrifice unless I agreed to demolish the entire walkway.
All together, this was a very professional job, done well.  I commend VRN for their diligence and care in completing this job.  I now have a properly graded patio and the mud pit at the end of the driveway is gone.  I am very happy with their work.  An excellent job well done!

FAQs for excavation projects in Oxon Hill, MD

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.
