"Mr..Dapper has done a lot of work for us. He remodeled our bathroom to accommodate my husband who suffered from numerous strokes, making it accessible with the walker or wheelchair. He’s also painted the entire inside of my house. He also we built my back deck with a metal roof. Also chuck down several large trees out of my front yard and also laid all new flooring throughout the house. Bobbie is a very respectable polite gentleman honest as a day is long has done wonderful work within my home and I highly recommend them to everybody. The job is done in a timely manner.. he takes pride in his work, and if there’s a problem or we’re not satisfied with something which has never been a issue with me, he’s right there to make sure he fixes whatever the issue is you’re not satisfied he will make sure you’re satisfied I recommend to all my friends and family. You won’t find any more polite, hard-working, trustable, businessman, other than. Dad‘s home improvement and excavation"

Agape Service Co was established in 1982 by Richard Smith. A proud Ohio State grad and native central Ohioan, Richard was no stranger to hard work. He was determined to build a hauling co that provided friendly and dependable service. The agape motto was born. "Once a job has begun, do not finish until it's done, be that job large or small, do it well or not at all!" People in the neighborhood and community would call agape for anything that involved strong backs and a truck. Word quickly spread about agape's friendly and dependable service. A community business was born. Agape today. Today Agape Service Co is recognized in central Ohio for providing quick on time, professional service. Agape Service Co is recognized by Angie's list and has received the super service award eleven years in a row. While a lot has changed since 1982 agape will always stay true by providing friendly, knowledgeable and trust worthy service.

"Highly recommend! They were quick, fairly priced, Mark is super knowledgeable and genuine. His son Samuel ran downspouts underground and did some excavation to fix some grading in our backyard where there wasn't good drainage. Our new construction home is one step closer to looking finished! We want them to come back and do our final grading!"

FAQs for excavation projects in Powell, OH

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.
