"It went fine. It was expensive but from what I understand excavation is usually high. They came out on 9/21 and dug the necessary trenches and connected large PVC pipes that run down my front yard, join and then go into a gravel filled hole with a pop up above. They filled in the trenches which left some mounds of dirt in the yard. Waited until mid-October to let the ground settle and then they came back and leveled the yard, raked, spread seed and then put straw down. Very good job, professional, didn't waste time and overall work was excellent. Would use again."

"We recently hired Mulryan Excavating to regrade and slope out back yard. We were unable to mow and maintain the yard because it was nothing but big ruts and overgrown brush. They came with their equipment and completely regraded everything and made it manageable."

"I have had Miller land management out to my property a couple different times to do a few different projects. From clearing out trees, to prepping and flat work under my concrete slab, to building my entire driveway, to grading around my building for proper water runoff. Would highly recommend. Personable and easy to work with. Very efficient with equipment."

"Andrew Miller in their office is very responsive and will even return phone calls on Sundays. Buck Jones and his crew are outstanding and some of the hardest working guys I have had the pleasure to meet. We hit a snag and they took care of it the correct way. The prices are some what high but you get what you pay for and I know material cost are ridiculous. I hope they pay their employees well, they deserve it"

FAQs for excavation projects in Paragon, IN

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.
