"John was a very nice guy. He was knowledgeable and made me feel at ease using him. I did get one price just below John's, but went with him. I would use John in the future and highly reccomend him to anyone who can use his service. We ran in to a problem that had nothing to do with John and he worked with us and went above and beyond to get that problem fixed. I can't say enough good things about my experience with John."

"I found a surprise abandoned UST when excavating my front yard for a carport. After spending weeks online researching, reading horror stories, and becoming more panicked and confused I narrowed prospective candidates down to 4 companies and began the vetting process. I spoke with Shelley at Alternative Petroleum and immediately clicked with her. She answered all of my preliminary questions, clearing up some fact vs. fiction I had read online, and had a confidence in her manner was very reassuring. I didn't wait to get all estimates because I made my decision to go with Alternative Petroleum after our conversation. Was I ever right! Maria, Shelly, Dominique and Sal were very responsive in answering all of my questions and explaining the process in detail. They returned my calls right away and always exhibited patience and a bit of much-appreciated stress-relieving humor. Sal was on-site at 8am with his crew - all very professional, respectful, hard working guys - and they quickly got the tank pulled from my extremely tight space without damaging anything (retaining wall and paved walkway). My neighbors even commented on how clean and efficient they were. This is a family-owned business and you get the feeling they really like working together and enjoy what they do. Sal's phone never stopped ringing and I can see why. Each person involved with the business is extremely knowledgeable, honest, and professional. I had encountered so much conflicting information online and from the different companies I spoke with that I was braced for the process to be a nightmare. Thanks to Sal and Company I was wrong! I'm incredibly grateful I found them. I can recommend Alternative Petroleum without hesitation, they are THE BEST!!!"

"The two man crew arrived right on time and called ahead to say they were on the way. They went straight to work and were very professional and open to questions. They cleaned up after themselves and were respectful of my property. Very good experience overall."

"Colt’s property service has done multiple projects for me and has done a good job with all of them. Most recently he regraded underneath my deck. And replaced the old footings. It was very tight and tricky to get a machine in, but he managed with no problems. Would definitely recommend going forward."

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.
