"Did a recessed patio surrounded by block retaining wall. The guys did an excellent job ground was much harder than they expected. Took 4+ days just for excavation. Final product was just what I imagined. Price went up from quote, but I expected that Still very good value. Workers where nice enough to move my oversized grill down to new lower level. If needed I would definitely use them again ..."

"We hired this company to excavate our empty lot in Laveen to install empty conduits and properly grade the property. They did an excellent job from start to finish. The crew was professional, punctual, and very knowledgeable about the excavation process. They completed the trenching for the conduits efficiently and made sure everything was placed correctly. The grading was done with great attention to detail, leaving the property level and ready for the next phase of construction. Communication was clear throughout the project, and they kept the job site clean and organized. I truly appreciate their hard work and would highly recommend them to anyone needing excavation or grading services."

"I have worked with many contractors over the years and H-Bros Excavating is by far the best experience I have ever had. They showed up when they said they would to provide an estimate. They started the job at the time they said they would. They kept me informed of the progress, what was going to be needed, each next step, and met the completion time they projected. When they were almost done, I found that I had not communicated exactly what I needed and it wasn't done quite the way I had intended. After I was clear on what it was I wanted, without a blink, sour word, or any frustration, they simply went to work to give me what I wanted. The entire mistake was mine for not being clear and yet they were happy to fix what was almost done. All of this and the final bill was exactly what I had been originally quoted. You will not fine a more professional or personable company anywhere. Their attention to detail and desire to provide me with what I wanted is unparalled. I will use them again and I will recommend them to anyone needed an excavating company. You will not be disappointed. Dan"

"I hired Nick after another excavator no call no showed. Nick was able to step in and get me on his schedule in a few days. Communication between Nick and my GC was excellent. Rough grade on the site, trenching for foundation and sewer lines. Everything was done on time and on plan. No hesitation to recommend his service."

"The sense of relief from knowing that my floors did not need to be dug up and pipes excavated, was something I got within the first ten minutes of the plumber's visit. Mike is a knowledgeable and experienced, plumber. He took the time to explain how the control panel works (which I never truly learned). Mike has quite a sense of humor, which my family was receptive to; I feel he gauges his humor to the situation and the client. Overall, it was a very positive experience and I will definitely use Thornton's Plumbing for any more services in the future."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.

There are many ways to cut through roots when digging, especially if your trencher doesn’t seem to be removing the roots. First, use a shovel to expose the roots. Then, use gardening shears to clear out smaller roots or a reciprocating saw to remove larger plant roots. If you plan on keeping the plant, avoid cutting any roots over 2 inches thick.

In the United States, a depth of 36 inches (three feet) for underground water lines is the accepted industry standard. This depth varies from location to location based on local conditions. In areas with colder winters, they may be buried deeper to prevent frozen well water pipes : This is usually at least six inches below the frost level. The International Plumbing Code calls for a minimum of 12 inches below grade.

If you have a broken sprinkler pipe underground, there will be some signs you can easily spot to locate it and take action. These include leaks, water spouts, flooding, consistently damp areas on your lawn, low water pressure, and grass around the sprinkler head that’s taller and darker than anywhere else in the yard. 

If there are no obvious signs of a broken pipe, you can use tools such as water leak mics, leak noise loggers, audio devices that record leaks, and acoustic testing links. 

Broken pipes can lead to uneven watering, plant damage, and higher utility bills. The longer you wait to fix them the more the repair cost may be.
