"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."

"We were so fortunate when PJC Construction responded to our need. They are super to work with. We wanted one person to do every project we were planning including painting kitchen cabinets, bedroom, installing flooring, installing kitchen counter tops, back splash and French door. And for our next project of a concrete slab with a pole barn. Reliable and excellent work. Would highly recommend them!!"

"They were fabulous! I hired to clean up the backyard and build a little pond out back. In addition to the backyard, they trimmed up my bushes all around the house and placed pine straw and mulch around the property. It looked really clean and professional. I would definitely recommend these guys; super friendly and efficient :)"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Trenchers can dig holes as narrow as 4 inches or as wide as 4 feet. Check the specifications of the trencher you rent or buy to determine how wide it will cut into the landscape. Better yet, let the excavation company know how wide you’d like the trench to be, and they can help you choose the right trencher for the job (or do it for you).

Prior to excavation, you should prepare the dig site and call 311 before you sign anything.

To get your site ready for excavation, you should move anything in the area that isn’t affixed to the land. You can save money on the excavation by removing hardscaping, including walkways, decks, concrete patios, and paver patios.

Before you carry out any digging, you should call 311 to confirm that there are no utility lines running through your excavation site. Skipping this step could lead to severe injury and property damage if your excavator hits a water, sewage, or gas line.

Depth is not a qualifying component of evacuation. Any human-made cut, cavity, or depression in the earth’s surface is considered excavation. The hole from excavation can be any size, shape, or depth. Excavation is used to create foundations, reservoirs, drainage ditches, and roads. Long, narrow excavations are called trenches and are often used for underground utilities.

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. 

Skunk digging looks like a series of small, cone-shaped holes on a lawn or around the perimeter of a home, porch, deck, or shed. The holes that skunks dig when searching for grubs tend to be no more than four inches in diameter and may be up to four inches deep.
