"Tommy was the first to respond for the job on Angi's list, within 15 minutes. He was out the next day to discuss the project and give me a quote. Very professional. He gave me a date the job would be done and how long it would take and how he would take out the debris. Date was set for Friday and completed by Sunday. Tommy was able to get there on Thursday and finished the job that day. When we arrived on Friday morning we were amazed. No debris anywhere clean and smooth out. My project was the demolition and removal of a 30 year old mobile home. He is very professional . Kept in touch with me on what was going on. Very reasonable on the price too. I would highly recommend him for your projects. Thanks again to Tommy and his crew."

"Two Bearded Men did a great job at a reasonable price. The patio area excavation was accomplished as discussed and in short order. They even threw in pulling several batting cage poles out of the ground free of charge. I would use them in the future."

FAQs for excavation projects in Salyersville, KY

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.
