"Gary and his crew worked very quickly and efficiently on a challenging demolition job that required a great deal of precision. They also did a drain field for my septic system and both projects were completed in 2 days. His crew were hard working, polite and left the job site swept, picked up and very clean. Gary is a pro! No contractor drama. He showed up on time and got right to work. I highly recommend Gaston Brothers Excavating."

With 10 years of experience working for top regional contractors in both heavy civil and residential jobs, we bring the experience to the private sector — offering honest service, transparent process, expert results, and a job done right. From the first estimate to the final grade, we take pride in getting your project done for you!
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.
