"I hired Excavation Services to remove a 550 gal oil tank. I'm glad I did. Bill Came with his equipment and removed the tank. I was extremely impressed with his knowledge and expertise about this project. He knew what he was doing, no question about it. The tank was removed and hauled away. I'm very satisfied with Bill's work. In addition to his work experience, Bill is very professional with the administrative side of his projects. I had the tank removed on 9/23/16 and received the lab results of the soil sample 10/6, thirteen days later. Very good service, very satisfying working with professionalism."

"Don is great! Gave me a great price on the removal of 2 stumps. One was done right away with topsoil added and smoothed out . The other is pending further discussion of other site work on the property. He communicated with me every step of the way. Very happy with his work, so much so, that I am having him give me estimates of a few other projects. Glad to have found such a reasonable and responsible young man to help me with my creative landscaping issues!"

"Jason was very easy to work with and provided suggestions for seeding and subsequent treatment due to the terrain and soil. There were a number of unanticipated stumps in the area which caused a lot of roots to be eliminated after the fact. I still have not got to the point where I should mow the new growth which has been a slow process. Jason did a nice job on the excavation part and he did all the work maintaining previous drainage contours put in years ago.He was flexible, knew his business, and easy to work with and adjust aspects of the job."

"N&G rebuilt our split rail fence by installing new posts and retaining the old rails. The installation is solid because they anchored the posts in cement, and the post alignment is perfect. Very visually attractive. The job was accomplished in about three hours and the site was cleaned up before their departure. The fence is so beautiful that my next door neighbor insisted in paying for half of the cost."

"Anthony and worker answered my call. They came out and measured my oil tank to make sure they could get it out my basement. They arrived on time and installed the new oil tank. They even did some extra things. They were finished in about 5 hrs. or less. He quoted me the same price that he quoted me a year ago. If you ever need any work involving removing or installing an oil tank, they are the one for you. They also clean up and take away the old items. It was a pleasure doing business with them. Thanks again."

FAQs for excavation projects in Winchester Center, CT

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.
