"Slade is a highly experienced and certified professional excavator. My property is on a huge hill. Slade turned my back yard into a usable, totally flat, 2-tiered work of art! Slade is an “anything is possible” kinda pro, and that’s exactly who I needed, because my HILL was a hot mess. He never wastes time, you will always see him working (very admirable). Slade also made suggestions and advised me well on several occasions that saved me a considerable amount of money, and he does a lot more than just excavation. He ran all my gutters into the ground and installed dry wells for them. If you need someone with precision, expertise, and reliability, then seriously, look no further. This was our favorite contractor by far."

"The work performed in the abandonment of the underground oil tank was done in a very professional manner by the assigned workers.  From the moment they arrived, they explained every detail on how the job was going to be accomplished.  Once they had the tank exposed, they examined it for any leakage and cleaned it of its residue in preparation for inspection by the city's fire department.  Once the City of Yonkers Fire Department made its inspection and determined that there was no spillage, the tank was then filled with the appropriate material and closed.  The area was then prepared and returned to its present condition.
While all of this was being done, another member of the team was engaged in the installation of the new above ground oil tank.  The installation entailed running a line from the new tank, around two sides of the house, to the boiler room.  Once the installation was completed we were instructed on the functioning of the tank.
The work was performed in a very professional manner and to our satisfaction.  The workers knew what needed to be done and did it with care and left the place meticulous.  It is without hesitation that I highly recommend them for your needs.

"What started as a simple top soil delivery ended as a new driveway install. Initially, my husband hired Sean of Limitless Landworks to deliver some top soil. He made such a positive impression on us that we decided to have him install a much needed new gravel driveway. From the initial excavation to the final laying of the gravel, everything was handled professionally, the service was exceptional, and the final product was better than we could have imagined. Sean is very knowledgeable, a hard worker, has impeccable attention to detail, is an excellent communicator and a super nice guy! We couldn’t have been more pleased with our experience!"

"We are in the middle of repairing our lawn which was destroyed by grubs and moles. Max has been treating and seeding it. It is looking better each day. He hasn't finished, but I have no doubt that it will be wonderful when he's done."

"We are very happy with the work completed in our home today by SMG Home Services. The workers were professional and focused, and they finished the job quickly and efficiently. Results were excellent: spackling and exterior work was exemplary, and it was evident that attention to detail was a top priority. That is not all. Out of the four companies that we contacted for an estimate, SMG was the first to communicate via telephone (rather than text) and they were willing to come out the same day to talk over what we needed. A big thank you to Charlie, Jose and Marvin! We hope to see them soon again for our next job."

FAQs for excavation projects in Southampton, NY

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.
