"I can’t say enough great things about Higuera Excavation and Grading! During the last big storm here in the Monterey area, we suddenly discovered a serious leak around our door. Water was pouring in, and we were honestly panicking about the potential damage and cost. I called my friend Gary Higuera, and he showed up at a moment’s notice — while the storm was still going on! Gary jumped right in, quickly diagnosed the issue, and fixed the problem before it turned into a much bigger (and much more expensive) disaster. His pricing absolutely could not be beat. Thanks to his quick response and expertise, he literally saved us thousands of dollars in potential repairs. It’s rare to find someone who is not only skilled and professional but also genuinely cares about helping people when they need it most. We are so incredibly grateful for his help and highly recommend Higuera Excavation and Grading to anyone in the Monterey area. Thank you, Gary — you’re a lifesaver!"

"Richard was great to work with, he preferred to work this job in the afternoon/evenings which worked well for my schedule. He completed the work within 3 days as promised, he was thorough, helpful and overall the quality of work seems high. He came in on budget and was the most reasonable bid that we received for the job. We highly recommend Richard for your next plumbing project!"

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.
