"So easy to work with. They communicated what the timeframe would be (depending on weather) and stuck with it. They did a great job and got rid of lots of stumps very quickly. I did not contract for cleanup - so i just had them leave the chips/sawdust in place and raked up the larger pieces and burned them. I feel the service was a very good value and fine work. There was only one stump that was too close to my fence and brick on the house for the machine to reach. So they showed good judgement to not attempt it and possibly damage the fence or brick."

"I asked for a 30'x30' area to be installed for a playset. They brought in dirt, leveled the area, put down weed barrier, installed landscaping timber border, and topped the area with mulch. The quality of the work was excellent. Communication with the company was easy and timely. Overall, extremely professional, high quality work, and I would recommend them to anyone. I will absolutely call them again if we need more outdoor projects done."

It was a pleasure working with the owner and the guys that came out."

FAQs for excavation major grading or resloping projects in Oneonta, AL

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.
