"This was a major project for us. We had them pour a concrete pad. Excavate our side and back yard to remove grass then desertscape that whole area with multiple stone sizes and colors. They did an outstanding job. They are honest, professional, knowledgeable, efficient, and. Friendly. Issues came up as they often do, but they addressed all of them with precision. We are so pleased, we have booked them for an additional project. Highly recommend you give them a try."

"My wife and I are absolutely delighted with the work performed by Noriega Masonry. Yes, we did have a delay in receiving word from Jesse, the owner, but it was well worth the wait (!) and Everardo was effective as our point man for any questions and arranging for when the work would take place.
Helpful suggestions for anyone considering installing permanent concrete block planter, retaining, or free-standing walls:
1. Have a reputable engineer providing guidance and any plans used to file permits.
2. Have clear, documented hardscape plans to share with your contractor. This mitigates any misunderstandings in what you expect of your contractor. Also take time to visualize your project, so that you are comfortable with this major undertaking.
3. Determine what, if any, part of the project you will perform (In my case, I acted as my own prime contractor), performing:
a) my own hardscape design and rebar placement down to the block
b) preparing plans, while interacting with an engineering service team that furnished diagrams and load calculations that I personally submitted to County to acquire permits;
c) renting equipment, cutting and framing trenches, while removing excess dirt with the assistance of a dump truck service;
d) framing foundations and laying Type 2 gravel beds;
e) designing purchasing 1 ton of 20 foot length iron and iron assemblies from a local fabricator (with certifications);
f) contracting with a plumbing service to install underground gas lines to our outdoor fireplace and BBQ area;
g personally assembling the iron reinforcement, meeting County permit requirements; and
h) contracting directly with the concrete provider and pump service to pour foundations and later grout blocks
The cost for Noriega Masonry performing my portion of the work would have been understandably more expensive, but I'd expect that their pricing would be reasonable for anyone requiring a turnkey project. I elected to use my knowledge, skills and time to build more sweat equity into my home, using Noriega to effectively fill in an important void."

"Agent was more a salesman. On arrival, he tried to sell me a new boiler. After I explained him carefully that the boiler is fine, but the circulating pump is not working properly, he suggested a new water softening system for 6.8K... He finally replaced the circulating pump as well as a filtration system, and till today I am not sure that the filtration system needed replacing. The salt consumption is still high. Nobody contacted me nor got back to my emails."

FAQs for excavation projects in Sloan, NV

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.
