"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!"

"Gianni & Sons, Inc. was dependable, on time, and completed the job when they said they would. They were professional in all aspects of the job. I am completely satisfied with the deck resurface and would highly recommend this company. I should add that in the past they have done the roof and siding on my house and when I needed the deck repaired I called them first because my past experience with them has been so positive."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

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

Most states do not require excavation companies to hold specific licenses, but many require at least a contractor’s license. Additionally, heavy equipment operators require a special commercial equipment license to operate machinery required for excavation. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to confirm that an excavation company you’re considering hiring is fully licensed. You should also make sure that the excavation team is fully insured before allowing them to work on your property.

You should dig 3 to 6 inches deep for plastic edging. Dig as wide as you need to fit your plastic edging into it—2 inches is usually sufficient.

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.
