"We had our 35 year old buried oil tank removed. We also had Optima Environmental Services install a new 330 gallon above ground oil tank in the basement. I can't say enough good things about this company. From the initial contact with Dan and Kevin, who assessed our needs and prepared the quote with references, to Shelley who coordinates it all, and the actual installers, George and Walker. Everyone was knowledgeable, professional and friendly. All of our questions/concerns were addressed. Optima dealt with getting the necessary permits, having the building inspector on site, the soil tested and will provide the completed documentation, showing the tank is out, the soil is uncontaminated with the closed permit and c. o.. They also left the removal site in excellent condition. It was a true pleasure to work with this company. They are up front and honest about your project. They completed our project on time and without cost overruns. We are very satisfied customers for sure!"

"Great company to work with. It was our second time our family has used them for projects and they completed the project exactly as planned. I would recommend them to anyone who needs an underground oil tank replaced with above ground tanks."

"Tom and his team were excellent to work with. They really guided me throughout the entire process with my project. From the clearing, excavation and grading to the septic installation, they did a spectacular job for a reasonable price. I would definitely recommend them and will be using them again."

"Last spring I decided to build a new stone patio and kitchen and selected Elite Development to do our project. They were not the cheapest but it was clear to us that these guys know what they are doing. From layout, to construction, to final turf and plantings they knocked it out of the park. Could not be happier and would not hesitate to hire them again. Alan F"

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.
