"Adrian is extremely knowledgeable and patient as he took the time to assess various points in my yard to give me options on how to fix my flooding patio (as it was raining outside). On the day of the French drain and French drain extension installation, the crew was prompt and immediately started the job. I was pleased with their professionalism as well and they worked very hard to excavate the dirt and install the French drain components. Upon completion of the amazing work, I observed the workers reassembling my yard and also cleaned up my driveway of any loose rocks. Adrian also came by shortly after the crew left to check on the job and again, I truly appreciate the level of professionalism from this company."

"Mario Alvarez knows his stuff! He acquired a flooring sample from a discrete location, shipped it off for testing immediately, and we received a prompt response. His company provided all the promised documentation we needed and now our flooring project is moving forward. We appreciate the peace of mind for a good value. Thanks, Mario, for taking care of us!"

"Troy and the Superior Landscaping crew were FABULOUS from the very first phone call to finish!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I got estimates from multiple places for French Drain install for our backyard that would oversaturate with water (due to design flaw on new build home property) and not only was Superior Landscaping most competitively priced, Troy was totally on the ball with getting the estimate to us right away and even calling to check in with us; whereas it took so long and I had to place multiple calls to get calls returned from other companies! Superior Landscaping is a rare gem when it comes to customer service I was so impressed with how much better Troy and Superior Landscaping was from the rest! Don't waste your time calling around other places like I did (I've done the work for you!) Superior Landscaping can be your one and only call and you will be so happy you did! Troy made himself avail to answer all questions if they arose before the drain install. The French Drain installation was flawless and the crew was so wonderful and friendly and were great with our 2 boys who wanted to watch them work. So happy we'll be able to have a usable yard to play in when it's finally warm again! (It was practically a moat with small pond pockets before the French Drain install). Once all the work was done the crew even let the boys sit in the excavator for a picture! It made their day! Thank you Troy and Superior Landscaping!"

"The problems were strange and required some investigation. The team first focused on the washer drainage. Eventually they used a camera inserted into the clearance pipe to check the drainage pipe from the house to the septic tank. They discovered a "dip" in the pipe, possibly resulting in an obstruction that might have caused the water to back up, kind of like a rock in a stream. (Admittedly, I may not describe this as clearly as I should...not a plumber!). Using shovels and an excavator, they dug about 5 feet into the ground between the house and the septic tank, ultimately discovering both the dip/weakening in the pipe and a 3" crack (almost half of the pipe) closer to the house. I feel like their work saved us much more money down the road, because without investigating/fixing the "dip" in the pipe, we would never have know about that crack. Without repair, it could would likely have begun leaking back into the foundation. The team was able to replace a 10' section of pipe, connect it to the septic, and confirm a steady drain of water. We have not had the backup or any drainage issues since. However, the smell didn't completely leave the laundry room. They came out again and, after a couple of smoke tests and cuts into the drywall, discovered a vent pipe that had in years past (we've owned the house for 5 years) simply been cut to move the washing machine hookups to the side wall (rather than the back). Although the smoke largely discharged through the roof vents as designed, this uncapped vent allowed septic odors to creep back into the washing room, particularly in the morning when the air outside was heavier. They were able to cap the pipe, and that removed the odor. We have not had any issues since they completed their work. The team was very responsive, and worked with me to reschedule the washing room work after a death in one of the worker's family...only slipped a single day. They also reduced the cost for disconnecting/moving the washer and dryer, since they didn't reconnect them (We were of course going to have to do get drywall repair/paint work after they finished). Although I am hoping to avoid any plumber issues for a while, I know who I will call if something comes up. Absolutely recommend this team."

"We had gutted our master bath and asked Jonathan to refit the tub for a shower and move plumbing for a new sink. He checked out what was already installed, made corrections and completed all the work we required. He took time to explain what he was doing and why. We were EXTREMELY pleased and have recommended him to all our friends. We will require his services again in the very near future and have no reason not to expect the same pleasant experience."

"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!

"Steve came to consider the problem and give me an estimate. He seemed very thoughtful and sincere. We agreed on the price and the date when work would start. With no delays, the work started on the agreed-upon date. Steve's brother Dave does the actual deconstruction and puts in the drainage. He has a team of three men, including himself, and they completed the job in 3 days. It may have been the hottest 3 days of the summer but they didn't complain--I couldn't believe how diligent they were. And they didn't "thrash." We've probably all had people working on our homes that made us wonder if the house was going to be standing when they were through. These guys were great--I'd definitely call them professionals. Once they finished, I had a couple items I wanted done a different way. That was no problem. They came back and finished it very much to my satisfaction. Whenever I called the company, I received a call back. I would definitely use Waterproofing, Inc. again but I think my problem is solved. I'm not worried because the company gives a lifetime warranty and I have no doubt that they will stand behind their word.

FAQs for excavation projects in Paeonian Springs, VA

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.
