"It went very well. Daryl's crew did a great job and finished quickly. The wall looks great and they cleaned the worksite up when they left. Would definitely recommend and I would re-hire for another job."

"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."

"Very Well. We can’t say enough about H-Bros excavating! When we approached Marcus to come bid on our job. We were impressed. He seemed to know what he was talking about and told us we would need a D6 or D8 cat to rip all the rocks from the area we wanted flattened. He said he could probably get it done with a D6 and quoted it for that. He ended up bringing a D8 which worked out great since it could rip the rocks a lot faster. To our delight we got done 2 days early. Marcus and team started the job on schedule, were on time each day and worked hard and long hours. They were very professional and very personable. They wanted to make sure that they did the job exactly how we wanted it done. Customer satisfaction was very important to them. They went above and beyond our expectations and we are extremely happy with their services and would recommend them to anyone! They were a pleasure to work with and very honest. Do not hesitate to call them for your excavating needs! They may be a newer company but they are worth it!"

"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."

"This is the second job that Paul White has done for us.  He has completed electric wiring for our laundry room and ran a wire for a future 220 outlet.

This time, I called Paul to finish running the 220 outlet because I have now purchased a wall air conditioner and it was getting hot outside.  Even though they had a truck problem, Paul contacted us and re-scheduled another time which was okay with us.  The crew came on Labor Day weekend and ran the wiring to our Arizona Room and installed a 220 outlet.

Paul and crew measured and cut a hole in the wall for installation of the new AC unit.  Everything was done exact and with precision.  They secured the AC unit and caulked it in place.  They were here 5 hours.  Paul and his crew were friendly and efficient.

Even though we had to wrap up the wire for the AC unit and put all the patio furniture back and vacuum up the dust, we thought they did a fantastic job!   We would hire them again.

"Read about Thornton Plumbing on your website and read some of the comments others had written in their reviews. Ratings were high, so I thought I would give them a try. Called the office and was told that a serviceman could be out before noon that very day. I sure was pleased to hear that! So, we scheduled the appointment... and then I waited. And waited... Shortly after noon, I called the office again and was assured that my repairman was finishing up his job and would be arriving soon. Just about an hour later, Neal, one of the owners, arrived to solve my problem. I explained that I needed a new valve for my dishwasher, my garbage disposal quit that morning and I needed the new one installed and also my new dishwasher needed to be installed. He took all this in and in a very professional manner proceeded to do all the work I had requested. I was very impressed with the quality.... Neal went out of his way to be sure everything worked... even had to get an additional part for my dishwasher so it could be installed! He inspected the pipes under the sink to be sure nothing leaked after all the work was completed. He was very thorough and I am happy to say I have found my Plumber! I was a bit leery about some of the comments others left in their reviews regarding lack of communication, not showing up on time..... but you have to know that once they arrive, the quality of service they provide, the professional way the work is performed, and the fun personality of Neal... well, it's worth the wait! I would not hesitate to recommend them to my friends and neighbors... and will definitely call them again if I have any other plumbing issues!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Generally, a trenchless sewer line is worth the cost. If your old system needs replacement, trenchless sewer repair or replacement can save you thousands on excavation costs. Every homeowner’s situation is different, but this method is definitely worth it in a lot of cases.

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.

The best method for digging a trench depends on the scope of the project. For a short, shallow trench (less than 2 feet deep) in light, soft soil, digging by hand may be sufficient. However, digging by hand is labor-intensive, so consider the effort required. A machine trencher is the better option for longer trenches (over 100 feet), deeper ones, or when dealing with difficult soil conditions, such as rocky or hard ground, or obstructions like tree roots. A machine can save significant time and energy in these situations.

Sewer lines can be buried anywhere from 18 inches to 8 feet deep, with a common average depth between 18 and 30 inches. The exact depth depends on local factors like climate and soil type. In colder regions, pipes must be buried deeper (below the frost line) to prevent freezing, sometimes as deep as 8 feet. The digging depth can also impact the cost of sewer line replacement. To find the specific depth for your property, you can check the building plans for your system, which should be on file with your city or local sanitation department since permits are required for installation.

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.
