"The owner of the company, Andy and his crew are all talented craftsmen. They refaced our front porch with cobblestones and blue slate and the finished project looks incredible. They are professional and work was done in a timely manner. I highly recommend Andy and his team. We would hire them again!"

"A had a great experience with Eight Lanes Lawn Service. My yard needed a lot of cleanup, and they came out the same day I called for a quote. The quote they gave was much lower than any other I had gotten, and they were even able to come out the very next day to do the work. The crew was meticulous and did an amazing job. Great value for and excellent customer service, I will definitely be reaching out again in the future. I would highly recommend them!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

To locate an underground downspout, you should start by identifying where the above ground gutter drains. Look for an entry point, such as a pipe or elbow leading into the ground. Follow the surface path for signs like depressions, landscaping disruptions, or wet areas after rain. You can use a metal detector or plumber’s snake to trace the pipe underground. For deeper pipes, a professional locator tool or camera inspection may be necessary. Visual markers or utility maps can also guide the search.

Yes. A metal detector is one of the quickest and easiest ways to find your septic tank. However, metal detectors can be too expensive (costing upward of $300 in some cases), and not everyone has a metal detector just lying around. If that’s the case for you, you can also take a long metal rod and poke it into the ground at regular intervals until you hit something—likely your septic tank lid.

Trenching is a specific kind of digging. Trenching means digging a depression in the earth that’s deeper than it is wide, often with heavy machinery. Digging refers to any kind of removal of earth in order to create a human-made depression, hole, or cut in the earth’s surface. You can dig with big tools or even with just a hand shovel.

Completion time ranges from days to weeks, contingent on project size, environmental conditions, and regulatory approvals.
