"We were contacted first by NC Landscape and Waterproof. They were very thoughtful and understanding of our project and offered to do more than we originally planned but their explanation made complete sense and we are glad we had them do our full planting job instead of just the excavation. We will certainly be working with them again!"

"The entire process was seamless and the results were phenomenal. David worked with me and my wife. He made several trips to the site where he helped navigate decisions on layout and pavers (Iâ m very analytical). . The design/proposal was very detailed which greatly helped getting HOA approval. Project fell within proposed budget As far as the crew goes I can not speak higher of Mr Terry and crew. Always on time. Very respectful of property and kids. Truly above and beyond experience. Would and will use again."

Matt arrived early and walked me through all of the services that Vision provides. He did not rush through the appointment. He answered all of my questions and quoted me fantastic price for the work. This has been a fantastic experience so far. I look forward to working with them on this project and future projects."

"Extremely good to work with, did an excellent drive building my driveway graded for correct slope and sheds water like it should, had them level and grade out for my pole barn build as well. 100% will use again. And might I add the response was much quicker than any other contractor I had quote the job."

"Fantastic job. Loredo Stone-Creek was easy to work with and the final product is absolutely beautiful. We were not just putting in a patio but we're to solve a drainage problem along with to reducng the dirt that ended up on the deck and porch. I did not know to do this but Ronnie and the others from Loredo-Stone Creek designed the perfect patio. I am so happy with it. I highly recommend Loredo Stone-Creek."

"Brian is excellent to work with and honest on his guidance and proposal. Had a 20 year hidden leak between garage butting up to house. It caused moisture to get behind brick and around bay window. Brian had to remove brick and replace several rotting wall studs and replace brick. He also had to rebuild sections of the bay window. Great work!"

FAQs for excavation projects in Youngsville, NC

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.
