"Eric came to us highly recommended. We discussed the project and he was able to get us on the schedule fairly quick. As the project progressed, he had an idea for drainage issues we had. We agreed to have him move forward with it. The drainage issue is resolved along with the original work of removing several tons of rock and regrading for water drainage and natural plant growth on our land. Eric was always friendly, easy to discuss our problems with, and had great solutions. We had landscapers quote us up to 2 weeks to finish this work and Eric completed it in 4 days with excellent quality."

"I had two very large (over 40’ tall) dead cottonwood trees that I needed to have removed from my back yard before being able to put my house up for sale. I got several bids and decided to go with Tree Toppin. These trees had a ton of branches and there were many that were hanging over the house, the fence going to my neighbors yard, and over our covered deck. We live on the corner of a cul-du-sac, but we have a smaller yard, so these trees could not simply be cut down quickly. The two-man crew meticulously took down each branch, one-by-one, in order to control the decent and not cause damage to my neighbor’s or my property. This was nice because I never heard any crashing of branches hitting the ground, which would also have disturbed my neighbors and my dogs. The trunks of the trees were also another challenge since they were very thick and heavy, but the crew cut them down close to the ground as I did not request stump grinding for this project. The project took two days in total and everything was removed with very little wood shavings left. The crew was on time each morning and they worked very hard to ensure that the job was done right and that there was no property damage at all. I am very happy with the work that was completed for us. Thank you Tree Toppin Services!"

"Eddie Caballeros completed my dirt removal job as promised, on schedule. His communication with me was great with frequent updates. He gave me a good quote and was available when I needed the job done. Eddie and Abel worked very hard, choosing hand shoveling to save the tree, I was impressed. The finished job was better than I expected with a good attention to the finishing touches. It looked nice! I would hire Eddie and his company again."

FAQs for excavation projects in Palmer Lake, CO

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.
