"A gentleman called just minutes after I saw the list your service provided. He was able to come to give me an estimate late in the afternoon THE SAME DAY. He came and we discussed the whole project (I had decided to have him look at my storm damaged mango trees also). He could not have been nicer . He was licensed and covered by liability insurance - and was not offended that I asked those questions- he also told me about the equipment that they would use—( I had seen some service providers have a worker climb a palm and hang there while cutting palm fronds off letting them fall to the ground) I was’t happy with that method as I was sure my palm was diseased and had dropped a good portion of it’s crown. He said they could come the next day and complete the whole project and haul away everything , I haired them. They followed through with everything and made me very happy. I would recommend them . They were great and worked well as a team . I would call on them again if needed."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

There are many ways to cut through roots when digging, especially if your trencher doesn’t seem to be removing the roots. First, use a shovel to expose the roots. Then, use gardening shears to clear out smaller roots or a reciprocating saw to remove larger plant roots. If you plan on keeping the plant, avoid cutting any roots over 2 inches thick.

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

Silt fences should be trenched 8 to 12 inches deep to prevent sediment-filled water from escaping underneath. It also helps to anchor the fence during wet, windy weather. The silt fence fabric often has a red line to indicate the depth for digging. A good contractor will be familiar with the guidelines and regulations.

In the United States, a depth of 36 inches (three feet) for underground water lines is the accepted industry standard. This depth varies from location to location based on local conditions. In areas with colder winters, they may be buried deeper to prevent frozen well water pipes : This is usually at least six inches below the frost level. The International Plumbing Code calls for a minimum of 12 inches below grade.

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.
