"We recently hired Benchmark Outdoor Services for routine yard maintenance and couldn’t be more pleased with the level of service provided. From the initial consultation to the final cleanup, they demonstrated professionalism, reliability, and strong attention to detail. The lawn and landscaping were left in pristine condition, and they were efficient and respectful throughout the process. Their communication and commitment to quality truly set them apart from others we've worked with in the past. Bonus: Even our dog, who’s typically very selective about visitors, gave them an enthusiastic welcome—which is rare and much appreciated! We highly recommend Benchmark to anyone looking for dependable, high-quality yard care services."

"Mac is truly a Professional! He was the first person to ever come and do work that was totally great! He gave us the scope of what he was going to do and the total cost. He completed everything he stated but in a highly professional manner taking pride in his work. I only regret all the others before him “never” did professional work yet we have lost lots of money on these unprofessional individuals. Mac you are truly an honest professional and we will see you for many other tasks in the future! God Bless you Mac!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Trenches are typically 12 inches to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, your city or county may have specific ordinances that clarify the dimensions needed for the project. For instance, a water pipe may need to be 24 inches deep, but a drainage pipe may need to be 36 inches deep.

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.

Directional drilling is complex and requires training to use the advanced machinery. It can be challenging to monitor the position of the drill since there’s no direct line of sight. Directional drilling can also be more expensive with a cost of $10 to $30 per linear foot compared to $5 to $12 per linear foot for trenching. 

A perc test takes an average of around two hours, but it can range from one hour up to around six hours. Perc tests that require wider or deeper holes and those that require multiple holes dug throughout your property will take longer because there’s more excavation involved. The actual filling of the hole and monitoring to gauge the rate of percolation should take under an hour per hole.

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.
