"Pedro Gomes and his crew: Alan and Gabriel were excellent. Excavated an area 25x15ft by 3 inch and installed playground mulch. Done in 3 hrs. They had to use shovel and wheel barrel since big excavator would not fit through backyard gate. Than wheel barrel all the 4?yards of mulch in to fill the area. Price was fair in my opinion for this hard hands on labor. I will definitely hire this crew again if I have another project"

"Travis Rodriguez did a stellar job of removing my disease sylvester palm, cleaning up the area and adding river rocks to my existing garden area. He is extremely knowledgeable about all manner of tree and landscape issues and I would recommend him to anyone who has need of a full service tree and landscape service."

"Burt delivered excellent service and was very professional. He went above and beyond to help me out of a bind and I will be forever grateful. He did a phenomenal job assembling my bed and hauling away the old one. He left my place spotless. This was a top tier experience."

"hired James to level an 1,800-square-foot area and spread stone, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From the beginning, James was responsive, handled ordering the stone, coordinated the delivery, and made the entire process easy. All I had to do was explain what I wanted, and he took care of everything else. On the day of the project, James arrived on time and took the time to walk through the job with me to make sure he fully understood exactly what I wanted before getting started. I really appreciated his attention to detail and his commitment to getting the job done right the first time. Overall, James was professional, reliable, and delivered exactly what he promised. The finished project turned out great, and I wouldn't hesitate to hire him again. I will definitely be contacting him for future projects and highly recommend him to anyone looking for quality work."

"Very smooth experience. The shingles and dumpster arrived before the crew. They came in the morning and finished the job by dark. A larger house would probably take more time. The next day the dumpster was removed and the county passed the inspection."

FAQs for excavation projects in Winter Garden, FL

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.
