"Eric was able to competitively quote and execute a significant improvement to our property in Larkspur by excavating a new parking area as well as installing a stunning retaining wall to mitigate erosion that would have caused the loss of mature pine trees. He also relocated all the dirt to other areas of our property to encourage proper flow of rain and snow melt away from our home. Every step of the project was executed perfectly, on time, with excellent communication and its completion not only served the purpose we needed but it has greatly improved the aesthetic and value of our property. I don't remember the last time we've worked with someone on a home project that has been this impressive."

"C & R field services was very thorough and responsive. They are a dependable and reliable company. They show up on time are fairly priced, relative to other excavating companies and do very good work. They are knowledgeable and experienced in excavating, fencing, small concrete jobs, etc. I was very pleased with them and will use them again in the future."

"The work I requested was a plantar wall and box. We discussed the project when Rueben came out to give me a free estimate. I was pleased with the quote and work started within two weeks of the meeting. The crew started on a Monday and would have been done within two days but we had a full day of rain then snow. The finished project turned out beautiful. The crews were on time, courteous and worked hard. Rueben was easy to deal with on every count. Highly recommend this company!!"

"We have about 35 movable acres that we just purchased, and without any equipment to take care of it. I came across this company because of a friend recommendation, and we were not displeased at all. Mike was very nice, professional, courteous, and kept us updated on what he was doing and how it was going. Just an overall great experience."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Directional drilling is complex and requires training to use the advanced machinery. It can be challenging to monitor the position of the drill since there’s no direct line of sight. Directional drilling can also be more expensive with a cost of $10 to $30 per linear foot compared to $5 to $12 per linear foot for trenching. 

Yes, trenchers can go through gravel. Gravel is made up of smaller, softer rocks that certain trenchers are able to cut through. Just be sure to use a rock wheel trencher or chain trencher, both of which are made to cut through rocky landscapes and gravel pathways without dulling the teeth or chain.

A walk-behind trencher can cut through roots as long as they’re not too thick, making a project much easier than digging with a shovel and other hand tools. Assess your terrain and the number of trees in the surrounding area to determine if a walk-behind trencher will ease the job. Digging a trench by hand is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive. 

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.

You can dig 60 to 80 linear feet by hand per day depending on the depth. Digging a 100-foot trench by hand will take you two work days, but it can take longer if you have heavy or rocky soil. If you’re digging a deep trench or one that’s over 100 feet, consider renting a mechanical trencher, such as a walk-behind or ride-on, or calling a pro for help.
