"Jason Hebert and his sons did an absolutely amazing job removing 135 ft. of overgrown cedar hedges that were approx. 35 ft. tall. I thought his rates were very fair. He removed all the stumps with an excavator and hauled off all of the debris. He back-filled the gaps made by removing the stumps and leveled the work area. Then he re-seeded it all. It should look amazing in a couple of weeks. I am extremely happy with his work and his professionalism. I HIGHLY recommend this company!!!"

"Darin and his crew at Hilltop were professional, courteous, knowledgeable and timely. Hilltop handled the excavation, permits, concrete pour, framing, electrical, roofing, siding, and finish of the garage project. It will definitely be an added value to my home. Hilltop did an excellent job, especially in the adverse winter conditions. I would absolutely hire Darin/Hilltop again. Darin was also excellent in communicating via email, text, and/or voice. This was a convenience to me as I do not have cell reception at work."

"Mike Ward was great to work with! Very honest and have great opinions and expertise when I had questions..he improvised and used the big boulders he had found when excavating to create a beautiful and functional retaining wall for any drainage issues...he also took down more trees when needed to expand the site for additional drainage around my proposed garage...AND he used another big boulder as an aesthetic decoration when entering my new driveway that he landscaped and graded for me..Excellent work..Would definitely hire again!"

FAQs for excavation projects in Plattsburgh, NY

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.
