"I got to know Matt, the owner, over a few conversations before we officially hired Gravel Pros LLC. Matt and his team deliver gravel, top soils, etc but we actually hired them initially to haul away a ton of oak brush and other landscape trimmings. Absolute life saver."

"Trevor and his crew did an outstanding job. We are very pleased with their work. The large moss rocks look amazing. The red mulch really high lights and accentuates the different levels of landscaping. The dry river bed really adds depth to the whole project. The sod that was added on both sides of the sidewalk works great with the whole concept."

"Willie and Brandon did an excellent job excavating a trench for a gas line at our current home. They were quick to bid, communicated with us throughout the process, and were easy to get a hold of when we needed to make adjustments. We are very pleased with their quality of work, and hope to use them for future projects. Box T is an excellent, locally owned and family-run businessâ ¦hire them!"

"Honest. Respects the schedule and are on time every time. Careful of home owners property. Cuts tress into proper stove fit, in my case 16” cuts. Bids are lower than competitors. Careful cleanup. “Chips” throw away limbs. Crew is fast, safe and efficient. Tree cuts are stacked so that owner can fill tractor cart and tow to wood shed for stacking. Crew is polite and respectful with home owner. Always asks about using gates and travel over the property. I was extremely lucky to find these guys. I would definitely recommend them whole heartedly to anyone contemplating removing large trees “threatening” your home or garage, or barn as I had. Give them a shot…. You won’t be sorry!"

"These guys did an amazing job. Their work ethic is out of this world. Even when it came time for the cleanup they did not miss a beat. No nails or any debris let anywhere. I am talking about on the driveway, grass, yard, or even our neighbors yards. They were that thorough. I would give them a 10 out 10. These guys were very professional. I would recommend this company to all my friends and neighbors. Don was great to work with and I am referring him to all our friends and neighbors. 5 star rating!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Most residential basements are 8 to 10 feet deep. You can dig deeper depending on building codes, but it does become more difficult. You’ll likely need to install stronger foundation walls and additional supports to handle the increased load. Depending on the water table, you may also need a water management system. Clay soil can support a deeper foundation than sandy soil. A structural engineer will be able to tell you the maximum, feasible depth.

The rules for trenching and excavation include setting up and following safety protocols, learning how to use tools and machines properly, and ensuring there is a safe exit for all workers. Keep heavy equipment and materials away from the edge of the hole or trench. Call the 811 dig line before starting any excavation or trenching project to ensure you don’t hit any electrical or gas lines.

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.

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.

Above ground pools are not buried in the ground. Typically, above ground pools are semi-permanent. One reason they’re more affordable is that you don’t have to dig for an inground pool and pour concrete or another material. However, you can choose to install a semi inground pool, which is a hybrid between the two.
