"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

You can dig 60 to 80 linear feet by hand per day depending on the depth. Digging a 100-foot trench by hand will take you two work days, but it can take longer if you have heavy or rocky soil. If you’re digging a deep trench or one that’s over 100 feet, consider renting a mechanical trencher, such as a walk-behind or ride-on, or calling a pro for help. 

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.

A joint utility trench, or joint trench, is a long, buried ditch on a property that contains two or more utility lines rather than running the lines in multiple trenches. Some utilities, like gas and electric or electric and communication lines, are better suited to joint trenching, while others, like water and sewer, are not allowed to be in the same trench.

A crawl space can be as little as 42 inches below the grade of your house, but this is not always recommended in flood-prone areas. At a minimum, there must be at least 16 inches of clearance between the ground and the floor joists to access the space in an emergency.

Concrete blocks are the cheapest way to base a shed. However, the space in between allows critters to go under, burrow, and even damage your shed’s frame. For a more pest-proof option, consider building a shed base with gravel or paver stones. Both options are fairly affordable and easy enough for a DIY project. For gravel, you can build a wooden frame to contain the loose material.
