"We are so pleased with the outcome of this project. We had grading issues identified at inspection that we procrastinated on for 3.5 years. We went back and forth over what to do with this area to fix the grade and we ended up going with a retaining wall and backfill. Great Plains did great work - I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves!"

Customers say: Terrific value

"I spoke to Ever about doing the concrete work, and he gave me a good price. I asked him to please not ruin my flowers in the front, and he is a man of his word. They did a good job for me and it was done in a timely manner. They showed up early in the morning and continued until the work was done. I would definitely recommend The Strong Hand for any kind of concrete work."

"The tech was very professional. There was a delay in getting the work done but management did apologize for the confusion (they had me confused with another customer with the same last name). The sales person (arborist) was very thorough, and the price was a very good deal."

"John & Jeff were the only company that came out to our demo project site to give us a bid. They showed up and started when they said they would and finished ahead of schedule with a huge demo project. We had two homes including a concrete basement removed along with several sheds and trash. They went above and beyond to make our future home site was beautiful and were reasonably priced compared to other bids we received. Thank you!"

"Overall my experience with Hummingbird was excellent.  The quality of their work was top-quality, they finished the job in the time frame that they said they would, and for the agreed upon price.  The owner (Ken) was responsive in his communication, and you could tell that he wanted to make sure that we were satisfied with the work that they had done.  They only reason for 'good' grades above is because the price was a little more than expected even though it was the price agreed on, and they ran a little late a couple of days.

FAQs for excavation projects in Whitewater, KS

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.
