"They did a fantastic job. It was a very extensive job that took 4 days to complete. They had to regrade my entire yard, put new topsoil down, seed, regravel my driveway and trenched our downspouts to daylight. The employees were very polite and answered any and all questions and concerns I had. I would recommend them to anyone."

"Call Armold & Son Excavation before anyone else. Amazing business integrity, experience, and heart. Mr. & Mrs. Armold saved me when they said Yes, at an affordable cost, after 3 other advertised plumbers said no. This was a monumental size job, while also being the smallest work space. 40 feet in length of concrete, brick, & marble slabs, covered the bad sewer line, by a width of slightly more than a wheelbarrow. Which translates into there isn't enough access for any machinery on my property. So Ron Armold did all of the manual labor from beginning to completion. Thanks again!"

"Easy to work with, and does great work."
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.
