"They were lengthening my Driveway. They had done the driveway 4 years ago and had done a very good job. I rehired then to extend the driveway. In the process the machines they used damage the old Driveway. They did not tell my wife who was at home or contacted me to tell me. This upset me more than the damage did. I had to text him/ email email him. He did say he would repair and seal coat the driveway. He has partially repaired the driveway, they missed one spot. He is to return in week or two and seal the Driveway. If the damage had not happen I would have given 5 stars"

"Jake and his team were awesome to work with and they'd be the first I'd recommend for any excavation job big or small. He was able to make our vision for a backyard into a reality and worked tirelessly (weekends included) to make it happen. Jake was on time, honest and dependable, which is unheard of in the current market!"

"Andrew and his crew did an amazing job building this garage. Even though he ran into some issues with the supplier of products he went above and beyond to make sure we were kept informed. Additionally, he also replaced (and improved) an existing garage door in the lower level of our home. He also repaired some siding on our house. They even put our two garage door openers in. Overall, we were more than please with his work and his crew."

FAQs for excavation major grading or resloping projects in Freeport, ME

The time required to dig a 100-foot trench varies significantly depending on soil conditions and the type of equipment used. Most residential projects using walk-behind trenchers take between two and four hours for this length. Soft soil allows for faster progress, while rocky or clay-heavy ground requires more time. If you're new to operating trenching equipment, allow for additional time to learn the controls and work at a comfortable pace.

Standard trenches measure between 12 and 24 inches deep and approximately eight inches wide, which is within the capability of most walk-behind trenchers. The exact depth capacity varies by model and manufacturer. For specialized projects, such as French drain installation, an 18-inch depth is standard. Always confirm the specific depth capabilities of your rental equipment before beginning your project.

While formal certification isn't always required, basic training is highly recommended before operating trenching equipment. Most rental companies provide operational instructions and safety guidelines when you pick up the equipment. If you're uncomfortable with heavy machinery or have a particularly challenging site, consider hiring professionals. For those proceeding with DIY trenching, start slowly and practice in an open area before tackling your actual project.

For typical residential irrigation systems, a walk-behind trencher is generally sufficient. These systems require trenches between six and 12 inches deep, depending on your local frost line and system specifications. The narrow trenches produced by walk-behind models are ideal for installing standard irrigation pipes. For larger properties or particularly challenging soil conditions, consider a more powerful model.

Contact your local utility marking service before any digging project to identify underground hazards. Remove obstacles, rocks, and lawn furniture from your work area and planned trench path. Mark your intended trench line using stakes or marking paint to ensure straight, properly aligned trenches. Having a plan for soil disposal and eventual backfilling will also streamline your project and minimize rental time.

First-time operators often encounter issues with blade clogging in wet or clay-heavy soil. Hitting unmarked underground utilities can cause service disruptions and create safety hazards. Many DIYers underestimate project timelines, resulting in rushed work or additional rental days. Trench wall collapse can occur in unstable soil conditions. Following manufacturer guidelines, maintaining appropriate speeds, and thoroughly preparing your site can help avoid these common complications.
