Christian Dozer & Trucking is a local family owned business offering affordable and efficient services including, house pads, Driveway grading, retaining walls, trenching, Land Clearing & mastication, Vineyard and orchard removal and any other excavation projects. CSLB #1113969

"Logan is so easy to work with. He knows his business really well, and I trust his insight and estimates. He got the job done in plenty of time, was able to dispose of our removed tree stumps so I didn't have to deal with them, and still had time to move some boulders around and place them thoughtfully into a really cool looking fire ring. He was thoughtful about cost constraints when I brought him a lot of questions and options, and helped me figure out the best way to rework our yard in the most sensible way. He was flexible with our schedule, and made me feel really comfortable about the whole project. He's a pro, and I really appreciate his help."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

It all depends on the scope of the project. A trencher can certainly save time and energy, but you might not need to dig that deep in the first place. Aside from the depth of the trench, the quality of the soil matters. If it’s light, soft soil, you might try a shovel first. However, if the soil is rocky and hard or there are obstructions in it, like tree roots, a machine trencher might be the better option.

Chipmunks dig their burrows about three feet deep and up to 30 feet long. The entrances can be two inches wide or more. Chipmunks are fiercely protective of their burrows and use them to protect the nuts and seeds they gather for the long winters.

Drilled wells have a pipe sticking up that’s covered in a plastic or metal casing. On the other hand, a dug well will look like a big hole in the ground and is more similar to what you’d see in a fantasy or Western movie. If you want to be sure, contact the city for documentation on your property’s construction and excavation history. 

Yes, you can install a trench drain if you already have concrete in your yard or garden. While it can complicate some aspects of the job and slightly run up the cost, it is doable. Residential trench drains can be easily retrofitted to outdoor areas with concrete without having to remove excessive amounts of your patio, pool area, or decorative walkways.

Landscape edging is more DIYable than trenching. You can DIY your own digging projects, but proceed carefully and only with proper knowledge of the equipment and appropriate safety measures in place. Keep in mind the project's scope and estimate how long it will take you to do it on your own. While you can certainly save money by DIYing home improvement projects, you can’t exactly hide an unfinished—or worse, ruined— landscaping job from the neighbors. It’s always safer to call an excavation pro near you to get an estimate.
