"This was a huge project requiring removal of 25+ yrs of landscaping & redoing about 3/4's of my yard. For that very reason I wanted to be sure the person I hired knew what he was doing so I was willing to pay for that. Quality work, quality products, quality healthy trees & bushes & excellent service. Greg works with you, resolves any mistakes or oversights amicably. His staff were friendly & many times did thoughtful things I didn't ask to be done like trimming hanging or dead tree branches or asked if there was some other little thing I needed done. I couldn't be happier with the end result."

"Mr Davis and Hector who was with him helping with the job were both very nice and personable. The job was done thoroughly, efficiently, and at a reasonable cost. He was also able to do it a day earlier than originally projected which was a huge lifesaver for us because we had family coming last minute notice for the weekend. Definitely recommend Mr Davis! Thank You again Mr Davis!"

FAQs for excavation projects in Schwenksville, PA

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.
