"Overall Ethan and his staff were very professional and efficient. On our initial meeting Ethan listened to us and developed a work plan that would meet our needs. He was prompt in submitting a reasonable estimate and answered all our questions. We set a date to begin. The weather caused a delay, but Ethan was quick to notify us of the delay. Another start date was set and the work was done. We had four projects (repair ceiling in the garage, repair the main shower grout, replace floor trim, and design/build a sunroom step). We are very pleased with the final results of the work. The staff completed their tasks in a timely manner and were really nice guys. I would highly recommend Ethan Putnam and his staff at All Around Solutions LLC."

"They were professional, knowledgeable, and on time. Finished the yard in one day, and cleaned up when they were finished. Love having grass in my backyard! Will use them on another project this fall to add flowers, bushes, and trees. Looking forward to using them again!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Directional drilling is complex and requires training to use the advanced machinery. It can be challenging to monitor the position of the drill since there’s no direct line of sight. Directional drilling can also be more expensive with a cost of $10 to $30 per linear foot compared to $5 to $12 per linear foot for trenching. 

A crawl space can be as little as 42 inches below the grade of your house, but this is not always recommended in flood-prone areas. At a minimum, there must be at least 16 inches of clearance between the ground and the floor joists to access the space in an emergency.

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.
