"I have been stressing for a while with trying to decide what to do about years of erosion and damage from an Oak tree that I loved dearly. Darrell came out, walked the property, offered suggestions that made sense and worked within my budget. Job was completed (tree removed, retaining wall built to stop erosion and sodded) in less than one week. I have another tree to be removed and lawn sodded and I have my guy! Thanks Angi and Peachtwins!"

"I simply LOVE my wood privacy fence, the install was quick and very efficient. Phillip and his crew are both very knowledgeable & professional, they answered all my questions and addressed my all concerns without hesitation. Multiple neighbors have stated that I have the best looking fence in the neighborhood and I 100% concur. I have already hired them for future projects. I would definitely recommend PJC Construction for any of your projects large or small."

"Salazar construction built a porch in November of 2018. We were so impressed by his work that we asked him to do a sidewalk for us in March of 2019. The sidewalk is beautiful and greatly enhances the appearance of our property. Mr.Salazar is hard working, reliable and trustworthy, and gives excellent customer service! His workmanship is second to none, and his price rates are very competitive. I strongly recommend his services regarding any stone or concrete project you may have! He was a pleasure to work with on any project! --Sam R. in Peachtree City, GA."

"Jose and his team did an excellent job. I hire Cali Landscaping to plant 17 trees in my backyard to reduce noise from the road. They were very professional, even dug up some existing tree to try and save them. It was raining upon their arrival but that didn’t stop Cali Landscaping they proceeded with the project. Jose is very knowledgeable about design and planting trees and shrubs. Would recommend Cali Landscaping for any landscaping services."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Trenching and boring are two distinct methods for installing underground utilities. Trenching involves digging a channel using equipment like an excavator, trencher, backhoe, or shovel. While it is a simpler process, it causes significant disruption to the surface, landscaping, and surrounding ecosystems.

Boring, also known as directional boring, is a less invasive alternative that uses a drill to create a tunnel for utility lines without disturbing the surface. This method is more precise and is ideal for installations that need to go underneath buildings, roads, or bodies of water. Although boring is less disruptive, it is generally more expensive than trenching.

Above ground pools are not buried in the ground. Typically, above ground pools are semi-permanent. One reason they’re more affordable is that you don’t have to dig for an inground pool and pour concrete or another material. However, you can choose to install a semi inground pool, which is a hybrid between the two.

While you can save some money by digging your own pool, you may end up paying more in construction equipment rental fees in the long run. You could, however, focus your DIY energies on lowering the cost of leveling your lawn for your pool or filling in surrounding landscaping after construction.

Excavation is priced in cubic yards, so you’ll need to find the volume of the area in order to calculate costs. Multiply the length, width, and proposed depth of your excavation site, then convert it into yards to get the volume. Multiply this figure by the price per cubic yard.

Most homeowners can measure by hand to get a rough estimate, even if it’s tedious. You may want to pull out a tape measure or use a string to help mark the area.

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.
