"Finding Trent and EGC was such a relief. He was informed, thorough and never rushed us to try and get to the money or the job over with. He took all of our questions and concerns and consulted with us throughout the process to come up with a great solution to our landscaping issues. His response was timely, and he encouraged asking questions which really helps ease the concerns of a large purchase of something like this. All in all, we could not be happier with the work done or the experience we had with Trent and EGC. I would recommend them to anyone that wants to have quality work done at a fair and reasonable price."

"I hired Ole Reliable Land Services to come out to my country home after my dear horse died. He dug the right size hole, put my horse into it, and buried it neatly and respectfully. This was an urgent situation. He came out on a Sunday morning and got it done in two hours at a good price. He was polite, professional, and sympathetic toward us for the loss of our beloved horse. I would recommend him to anyone who needs excavation work. I will hire him again for work on our property."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The best type of soil to build on is a mixture of sand and clay, known as loam soil. Loam soil has the best combination of these soil types to build a foundation on. The clay particles help with water retention, so it won’t erode like sandy soil might, and the sandy particles help with drainage, so you won’t see unsafe soil expansion or have an increased risk of leaks from water sitting against your foundation.

Preparation involves site assessment, clearing debris, grading surfaces, and compacting soil to support stable construction.

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.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

The physical constraints of hand-drilling a well limit the depth you can achieve. Manually digging with picks and shovels may only lead to shallow wells of up to 60 feet in depth. To reach greater depths, you need more specialized equipment. The diameter of your well and the tools you’re using will determine how far down you can dig.
