"The guys cleared a large tract of land for me opening up roads and green fields on some hunting property. They were very responsive and did great work. Property was night and day different when they were done. Before I could barely get a vehicle around the property. Now I can get my truck down the roads with room to spare. Very happy overall with work done."

"Came to give me a quote and I hired him. He was really friendly and willing to work with my schedule. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the work that was done. I highly recommend this company. He did such an exceptionally good job I know I will hire him again. He left the yard clean, taking away all remnants of that tree. I went ahead and told my co-workers and one of my neighbors and gave them his info."

"I had a gas line installed at my house and asked them about sump grinding. They said Matthew & Joey Tree Service and several other companies.  I went in and checked Angies List and they were 1st on the list of two. Called them, they were here in less than 10 minutes, gave me a good price and the stump was gone. Total time from being told about them to job finished was about 30 minutes. Can't beat that. Fast, good job, good price. I'll use them again.

Small changes in the job during the planning phase were promptly communicated via revised estimates, which was greatly appreciated. Peter had the proper equipment and finished the job quickly and as promised. I was pleased with the finished product and highly recommend Peter and his company."

FAQs for excavation projects in Waverly, AL

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.
