"Eric came to us highly recommended. We discussed the project and he was able to get us on the schedule fairly quick. As the project progressed, he had an idea for drainage issues we had. We agreed to have him move forward with it. The drainage issue is resolved along with the original work of removing several tons of rock and regrading for water drainage and natural plant growth on our land. Eric was always friendly, easy to discuss our problems with, and had great solutions. We had landscapers quote us up to 2 weeks to finish this work and Eric completed it in 4 days with excellent quality."

"Jake and John provided demolition services for a minor subdivision in Englewood. They did an outstanding job. The job was completed on time and on budget without any surprises. I am getting ready to build a minor subdivision on the lot where they completed the demolition work. I am happy to say that they will be doing the excavation, foundations, flat work and landscaping for this project. I highly recommend them because they do a great job, have high standards and are great communicators. Thank you Jake and John! www.Kavodx.com is the real deal."

"Iâ ve used Marshall half a dozen times or more over the past 8 years. First project was scraping popcorn ceilings , tetexturing and repainting. His excellent team prompted me to recommend him many times and use him for more projects. A few other projects included installation of a large sliding patio door, electrical outlet install, shower valve replacement, drywall repair and retexturing, exterior window trim replacement, etc. You get the point - he does a variety of jobs, good quality and competitive pricing. Highly recommend Marshall and his team"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Trenching and boring are two distinct methods for installing underground utilities. Trenching involves digging a channel using equipment like an excavator, trencher, backhoe, or shovel. While it is a simpler process, it causes significant disruption to the surface, landscaping, and surrounding ecosystems.

Boring, also known as directional boring, is a less invasive alternative that uses a drill to create a tunnel for utility lines without disturbing the surface. This method is more precise and is ideal for installations that need to go underneath buildings, roads, or bodies of water. Although boring is less disruptive, it is generally more expensive than trenching.

Septic drain lines (or leach lines) are typically buried between 18 and 36 inches underground, and should be at least 6 inches below the surface. These pipes are perforated and surrounded by filtering materials like sand or gravel. Burying the lines at this depth helps minimize odors and allows bacteria and other biological processes in the soil to effectively treat the wastewater. Burying lines too close to the surface can cause issues unless the soil is very compact and stable.

Yes, you can technically make a crawl space liveable, but the only way to do so is by converting it into a basement. While some crawl spaces are big enough to walk through and store large items, they lack appropriate insulation and space to be liveable.

The digging depth will depend on the size of the trencher you use. Even smaller units can dig up to 4 feet deep, which is plenty for a DIY job. However, much larger trenchers can reach a depth of 18 feet and are better used by a team of pro contractors, not a single DIYer. As with all home improvement projects, use the right tool for the job and proceed with caution.

It takes one hour to dig a 10-foot trench by hand. Use a trenching shovel with a sharp tip and a long head. Plan for more time if your soil is heavy or rocky. Consider renting a trencher if you’re digging a long or deep trench or if you have challenging soil or terrain.
