"I told Scott what items needed to be hauled and we agreed on a price and time. He arrived when he said he would, loaded up, and was finished in no time. I didn't have to do a thing to do except write the check. He was friendly, professional, and I would use his company again."

"Our small front yard needed a complete redesign. First Eric, the company owner, came by and gave me a design, with specifics, an estimate and dates. Overall, Eric told us what he was going to do and he did it in a timely fashion. Anytime he wasn't going to show up, he called us frequently and kept us updated. He is a very good communicator, which is key in any business. Though they specialize in smaller jobs, he seems to have a bank of related contractors when and if any heavy equipment type work is needed, or if he needs specialty plants brought in. The result was a beautiful front yard that draws compliments from friends and acquaintances, with beautiful, heat resistant plants that are appropriate for the setting."

FAQs for excavation projects in South Florida, FL

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.
