"Heriberto and his team were amazing! He is honest, good with communication, reliable, and hard working. Heriberto does not just supervise, but works all day with his crew, only leaving the site to pick up materials. This is rare for any company these days. He offered several solutions to our difficult drainage problems, varying in price. We chose to have him dig 3 feet deep into our rock beds outside our pool enclosure, lowering everything as well as making room for rainwater to drain through our pipes to the front gutters. It was a big and difficult job. Discovering we had a couple feet of clay on our property, the crew had to also cut through a tangle of tree roots. To avoid cables and pipes, they had to work manually in one area. They didn't give up... worked from morning until evening, and even some weekend hours. As problems arose, they would offer solutions. They fixed an old sprinkler pipe that shattered, replaced sod for grassy areas that were damaged despite them being careful, and shopped around for the best prices on materials to save us money. To keep moisture away from our house, we also had them add another rock bed to one side of our house without one. I couldn't be happier with these guys. The job was completed in under two weeks and was under 10k. It was a lot of money to spend, but re-grading our yard would have been way higher. We haven't had a huge storm since the work was done to test the maximum capacity yet, but he told us to call him if there are any issues. I believe him. These were the best guys I have hired in years. I highly recommend them."

"The unused land next to our driveway was an eye sore, and the only thing separating the land from our driveway was rotted wood. We hired a surveyor to mark our property line and decided to grade that land and install a retaining wall. I am so glad we hired ODL. They worked within our budget and did a phenomenal job! They are a small family company, which further boosts their resume in respect to quality and care. They are professional, reliable, hardworking, and talented. I plan on hiring them to do the next phase of adding low growing plants in front of the wall. I strongly recommend hiring them. They do not disappoint."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

There are several different factors that influence how long it takes to excavate. For a foundation, it could take anywhere from three days to three weeks. It can take even longer if you face weather-related delays or an inaccessible site that’s riddled with boulders and rough terrain. It may also take longer if you have clay soil, which is more difficult to dig.

You do not have to dig footers for a deck as long as it meets local code and holds up to weather in your area. If you live somewhere that experiences high winds and earthquakes, you may need to dig for your deck posts. Deck blocks, post anchors with base plates, and helical pile systems are the three no-dig deck post options you can choose from if local code permits.

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.

The rules for trenching and excavation include setting up and following safety protocols, learning how to use tools and machines properly, and ensuring there is a safe exit for all workers. Keep heavy equipment and materials away from the edge of the hole or trench. Call the 811 dig line before starting any excavation or trenching project to ensure you don’t hit any electrical or gas lines.

Generally, a trenchless sewer line is worth the cost. If your old system needs replacement, trenchless sewer repair or replacement can save you thousands on excavation costs. Every homeowner’s situation is different, but this method is definitely worth it in a lot of cases.
