"Very responsive to my request for a bid on having a large driveway and parking area around my workshop refreshed. In addition, I needed to add a riprap wall placed in an area susceptible to erosion. Nine dump truck loads were brought to my property on a Thursday and the guys arrived at 7:30 Saturday morning with appropriate heavy equipment, completing the job by 11:30. We just had the work completed but the initial finished project looks amazing. Tucker and Trevor were great to work with. Very polite and spoke very knowledgeably about the product and process."

"From start to finish the guys from J & D Forestry were great to work with. I first called them asking them to give me a quote for some land clearing for a future shed I was going to build. Devin came out same day and provided me with a more than reasonable quote. I moved forward right then and there. The crew showed up within the next couple of days to knock out the job. Their equipment was clean and well taken care of, the work performed was professional and executed exactly how we discussed. I couldn’t have asked for a better job from J&D Forestry. By far the best forestry company I’ve dealt with and highly recommend these guys."

"Work was performed as expected. We are still evaluating the drainage issues (i.e. waiting for a big rain to see how it is working). New patio (stamped and stained) looks fantastic."

"Meridian Roofing Solutions contacted a few excavating companies for some dirt work we needed on a roofing project. Apex Excavation was the first to respond and provided an accurate quote. I was most impressed by how they communicated to us and understood the project. I would definitely work with them again and recommend them for any dirt work needed."

"Ken came out same day to remove the asbestos. He was quick and efficient with his work. He charged a great price. This is the second time I have used K&E Mold Removal and I will continue to use them in the future."

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.
