"Corey and his crew at Planet Excavation did a great job on 3 major projects for me - 1,000' driveway, 1,000' trenching for power & water, and septic installation. The work and communication was very professional. I will call on Planet Excavation first if I need any work done in the future."

"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."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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. 

Excavations take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time it takes to excavate an area depends on the size of the area, the type of soil, the type of excavator, and even the time of year, since winter can make digging up the ground more difficult.

Trenches are typically 12 to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, the required depth depends on the specific project and local ordinances. For example, a French drain may need to be 18 inches deep, while a water pipe might require a depth of 24 inches and a drainage pipe 36 inches. Your city or county may have specific regulations, so it's wise to consult with an excavation professional to determine the correct depth for your project.

A perc test can take anywhere from one to eight hours to complete. The total time depends on factors like the amount of excavation required, the depth and width of the holes, and whether multiple test holes are needed. For a single hole, the process of filling it with water and monitoring the drainage rate usually takes less than an hour. Professionals can often complete the entire test in a single day. While it's possible to get results the same day, some companies may take a few days to provide the official report.

Preparation involves site assessment, clearing debris, grading surfaces, and compacting soil to support stable construction.
