Pride Lawn Service LLC has been a lawn maintenance company in the past but now has transformed into a landscape company. We have found that we really enjoy creating beautiful landscapes that the customer can enjoy. We have steered completely away from maintenance to focus fully on Landscapes to also include fencing of all types.

"Fair price and excellent service"

Morgan lumber was founded as a portable sawmill business but we also provide skid steer services, including driveway installation (of asphalt millings or concrete fines), land grading, bush hogging and a full tree service. We may not be a big organization, but honesty, integrity and just plain old hard work is a way of life for us and we are determined to complete your job to your upmost satisfaction. At Morgan Lumber and Earthworks, we work hard to do the best possible job, because we know word of mouth in the service industry can make or break a business. Call today to discuss your project.

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. 

If you’re planning to dig on your property, you’ll need to check for underground utility lines. Call the national call-before-you-dig 811 number. Once connected to an operator, you can schedule a site visit to mark underground lines. This way, you won’t accidentally dig into pipes and can cause major (read: costly) issues.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

The answer may vary based on where you live. Residential sewer lines are generally buried 5 feet to 6 feet under the ground. However, it's not uncommon to see pipes buried as deep as 8 feet in colder climates in order to ensure that piping is placed below the freeze line. Digging depth could impact your sewer line replacement cost.

A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock.
