"US Trench less was referred to me through a friend. I called US Trench less and explained the situation I had in my backyard. US Trench less came out the next day and ran the diagnostic TV scope where we were able to see how bad of shape my pipes were in. US Trench less was able to come out and start working the very next day. The entire job was done in less than 4 days which was amazing considering how quickly they began working. US Trench less was honest, very trustworthy, knowledgeable, and prompt with my situation. I would highly recommend their work!"

"Cruz and his crew did a great job for me. I was the worst of customers because I did not know what I wanted. Cruz gave me several ideas based on my preference for no maintenance landscape. After reviewing Cruz suggestions, they put in rock, retaining walls with auto water flower beds, shrubs and a tree, also self watering. Came back and added stepping stones when they were not part of the original plan but I asked for them later. Excellent results and I am very happy with it. We have scheduled another job to reconstruct the dog kennel area in the backyard as well."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Because decomposed granite is a durable material, a crushed rock or gravel base is optional as long as the DG is properly installed and compacted. However, installing a base is a good idea because it will ensure proper drainage and stability and act as a weed suppressant (although you may still occasionally have to pull weeds). Installing an adequate base can also increase the durability of driveways and walkways. If you forego the paver base or gravel underneath, line the area with landscaping fabric to avoid weeds.

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even for projects that only involve grading or yard leveling. Permit requirements depend on your local government and the scope of the project, but they are especially common for significant digging or work that could affect utilities or public property. These permits help protect the local topography and prevent drainage issues. An experienced excavation company will typically know whether permits are needed and can often handle the process of pulling and closing them for you. You can also verify permit requirements by contacting your local building department and describing your project.

The rules and regulations regarding groundwater use vary between states. To find out if you can dig a well on your property, you’ll have to consult these regulations, address any compliance requirements, and get the appropriate permits. It’s also important to check that your intended location has the right geology and water table to support a well.

A mini excavator can dig between 5 and 11 feet deep, depending on the type and size of the mini excavator. Mini hydraulic excavators are more powerful and can reach deeper into the earth, but electric models have a more limited range. Mini excavators over two tons in size are also more powerful and able to dig as deep as 11 feet.

Depending on the severity of the freeze and the method used, thawing frozen underground pipes can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours. Applying heat directly to the pipe using heat tape, infrared lamps, or hot water jetting can speed up the process. However, patience and careful monitoring are key to avoiding pipe damage.
