"Jeremiah is the owner of Anchored Solutions. When he says he will be there you can take his word. He redid our deck in composite (10x14) and put up a wooden awning on the same size on our other deck. I am amazed at the detail of his work and how talented this young man is. I would recommend Anchored Solutions to do your project anytime."

"My driveway had at least 3 puddles every single time it rained no matter how little rain there was my driveway tried recreate great lakes. Rough to ready grading was happy to take a look at our problem and explain to us what was going on and how to fix it. It took a day for my driveway to go from a muddy mess, to a nice smooth path to drive on."

"These guys got the job done quickly and well for less than a third the price of other companies. They repaired 2 water pipes for my underground sprinkler system. I broke both with a gasoline powered auger I was digging post holes with. I miscalculated. But now itâ s up and running flawlessly thanks to WREC."

FAQs for excavation projects in Whitehall, MI

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.
