"These guys were great! They were very communicative and went the extra mile ensuring everything was just the way we wanted it. We have more land to clear in the future and we will be using them for sure! I would recommend to them to anyone who needs land cleared."

"At first I was skeptical about hiring a smaller company to do work on our property, we needed quite a be bit done. After getting bids from some bigger companies I realized going with a smaller local company was a better choice. During all the work they did, there was a couple hick ups due to the massive boulders that where in the way. They were very clear with communication on what was going on, and the time it was going to add onto the project to remove these huge things. I had them make trenches about 150 yards long for electrical, and another 150, plus some for 5 water spigots for a trench, and we wanted the water lines ram through conduit for extra protection. They also installed a septic system for our shop and house. After that I talked to them about grading an area for the house to be built on and finishing our driveway and they were please to have more work done. Everything is completed and I could not be happier with them and recommend to anyone I know or hear needs work done. Thank you S&P for your hard work."

"Hilltop Excavation project leader and owner Micheal Schwartz reworked my entire driveway and built a retaining wall to divert runoff water from undermining my houseâ s foundation. He did an exceptional job, not only is the runoff water running far from my house but I also gained three times the parking space in my driveway. He is a very friendly and knowledgeable man with an exceptional work ethic. I would highly recommend him for any excavation work that you may need done."

FAQs for excavation projects in Smelterville, ID

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.
