"When my wife and I bought our first home we found we could not get in the garage without our cars scraping in the driveway. We had Maven and a few other contractors come out and give us quotes. Brandon came out and impressed us with the detail of his quote and planning and then surprised us by having the lowest quote. Initially they planned on getting our work done in a couple of weeks because they were busy, but they moved some stuff around and got to us within a week because they knew we were excited to move into our house. On the first day they tore up the bad section of driveway and refilled it with gravel to ensure our cars would be able to get in the garage. Even though I initially thought this was a bit much we found out getting the driveway just right was a bit more complex than it looked. Sadly no matter what they tried we couldn't get my wife's sedan in one garage door because of how the rest of the driveway was laid but could Gerry my car in after a couple of tries. Now we are looking on our beautiful new driveway section and cannot wait to finally get in our garage with ease!! And when we have enough money saved up to redo the rest of the driveway or any other concrete work done we know who to call! We highly recommend them to all of our friends and anyone looking for high quality work at a very reasonable price!"

"DigForce Excavation did an excellent job digging out my tornado shelter. They used an excavator and a skid steer, which made the work fast, efficient, and precise. The crew was professional, worked safely, and left the area clean when they were finished. I?m very satisfied with the quality of their work and would highly recommend DigForce Excavation to anyone needing excavation services."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The digging depth will depend on the size of the trencher you use. Even smaller units can dig up to 4 feet deep, which is plenty for a DIY job. However, much larger trenchers can reach a depth of 18 feet and are better used by a team of pro contractors, not a single DIYer. As with all home improvement projects, use the right tool for the job and proceed with caution.

Trenchers can dig holes as narrow as 4 inches or as wide as 4 feet. Check the specifications of the trencher you rent or buy to determine how wide it will cut into the landscape. Better yet, let the excavation company know how wide you’d like the trench to be, and they can help you choose the right trencher for the job (or do it for you).

Water lines are buried at various depths, depending on the type of line. For example, most sprinkler lines are buried between four and 12 inches underground. On the other hand, water mains usually sit between one and 3 feet below ground. However, they can go even deeper in cold climates to prevent freezing.

Trenching is a specific kind of digging. Trenching means digging a depression in the earth that’s deeper than it is wide, often with heavy machinery. Digging refers to any kind of removal of earth in order to create a human-made depression, hole, or cut in the earth’s surface. You can dig with big tools or even with just a hand shovel.

No, you typically cannot use metal detectors to find your sewer line. Most sewer lines are made of non-metallic materials such as PVC, clay, or cast iron, which are not detectable by standard metal detectors. Metal detectors are designed to locate metallic objects, so they won't be effective for identifying the path of a non-metallic sewer line. To locate your sewer line accurately, it's best to use other methods.
