"Branson graded our driveway and did a fantastic job! He responded quickly after a major rainstorm washed out parts of the road. The 1/4 mile driveway was repaired and graded before we had any more storm damage. The job was started right away and finished on schedule. I would definitely hire Branson Enterprise again."

"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!"

"Paul is a reliable contractor with a good crew. They came on time and seal-coated my driveway with great care for details. Excellent communications and none of the corner-cutting I saw from other less-professional contractors. I highly recommend Paul and his Pacific West Asphalt."

"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

Consultation with the local government helps identify necessary permits, avoid project delays or legal issues, and protect project integrity.

To drill a shallow well, you may be able to use a drive well point. This is a tapered point that is driven into the ground. A drill bit at the end of PVC pipe may be another option to consider. A lot of the cost depends on what tools are available near you.

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.

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.

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.
