"We have hired Joel at Leatherneck Land Clearing to complete multiple projects around our homestead and couldn’t have been happier with the outcomes! We originally contracted them to assist with clearing and grading a section of land to build a 40’ x 60’ building. Throughout the process he was extremely patient with us as we changed our mind more than once on the location of the building site due to unforeseen circumstances and even helped guide us to achieve the best outcome possible. We were so pleased, we hired him again shortly after to thin and mulch a few acres of overgrown woods on the property and it completely transformed the landscape. We have recommended them to family and friends and will definitely be hiring them again in the future to help with more around our property. If you need quality work done, they are not only affordable but extremely communicative and I truly am glad we found them!"

"We chose CrawlSpace Medic based on professionalism, reliability, reasonable cost estimate, and previous reviews on Angie’s List. Each day the crew showed up on time, worked hard all day, and cleaned up at end of each day; were respectful of property, and very professional, and pleasant to work with. They kept us informed of progress, and what was being done each day. During removal of old piping, they found additional damage behind the pipes that was not visible/identified during initial inspection- were very reasonable with determining the additional cost. They replaced damaged sills, old rotted floor joists, installed permanent support girders with masonry piers, installed a 10ml plastic vapor barrier, and installed multiple foundation vents. We are very satisfied with the results. Our floors are no longer bouncy, and floors feel very sturdy- was a dramatic difference after work completed. The 10 ml plastic Vapor barrier also has prevented that old damp smell inside the house after heavy rains. Was a good experience, and reasonable cost-(initial estimate $10,400, additional work required and we added foundation vent installation was $3800); would hire again."

"My husband and I were very pleased with the work that was done. The company owner, Greg McBride, was wonderful to work with. He did exactly what he said he would do and completed the job exactly when he said he would. If he had to come a little late, he called to tell us. He went above what we had expected, even upgrading some of the materials he used at no extra cost to us. The men on the crew were also very professional and did an excellent job. We also felt our cost was very fair. We are so glad we had this done."

"I have a 1964 ranch and am considering installing hardwood floors in the den that now has carpet and a layer of vinyl underneath.
I have gotten different stories from contractors regarding the installation process and how to handle the possibility of asbestos under the vinyl.  I wanted to speak with a professional who has worked with asbestos so I saw Jim's name on Angie's List and called him on a Friday afternoon at 4:30.  I was not only surprised that he answered the phone right away, but that he took the time to listen to the installation options I've been proposed and offered guidance.  Fortunately for me, the guidance he gave me doesn't require him to perform any work, however, if I do ever need this kind of work or am asked for a recommendation, he will be the first name out of my mouth.  I really appreciate the time he took to help me and level of comfort I now have in making my decision.

FAQs for excavation projects in Rock Hill, SC

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.
