"Morning Star Excavating/Camerone and staff are top notch. Very professional and with a good quote which was what it was at the end. He went out of his way to make sure all was completed to our liking for what we needed and also looking forward to future projects making it easier to pick that up at a later date. Always has ideas on how to make it better and stays with the job until completed. Can't say enough good things about his work ethic and quality."

"It went great! We had tried to do this project for 2-3 years and could not get return calls or estimates from the contractors we called. Nick retuned calls, got estimates done quickly and got the work scheduled fast! Aaron came and took care of the cottonwood trunks. Aaron and Nick accomplished the digging, grading, dry well and culvert in about two days. Thank you. And the starting point was much more rugged than those pictures FYI."

"I have worked with trackwest fencing on several occasions. They've always sent trustworthy people who can communicate well and produce a really good product. I've done a lot of fencing work in the past but they've always come up with new techniques that I learned from. I plan on working with this company on many occasions in the future."

"Andrew did a great job digging footings and keys for a major wall/foundation. He even dug deeper on one area due to the previous excavator taking shortcuts and if he had not the whole house would have been built on poor ground and had foundation issues later! Very knowledgeable and communicative throughout. The price was also very fair and he did exactly what we discussed plus a little extra. I would highly recommend him!"

"Very thorough and communicative. Kept in touch while arranging for dumpster, etc., which was appreciated. Day of clean up went quickly with no problems and again, William was very good at keeping me abreast of what they were doing and their next move. I am so pleased, I am having William do more clean-up projects for me in the near future."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Consultation with the local government helps identify necessary permits, avoid project delays or legal issues, and protect project integrity.

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.

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. 

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.

Landscape edging is more DIYable than trenching. You can DIY your own digging projects, but proceed carefully and only with proper knowledge of the equipment and appropriate safety measures in place. Keep in mind the project's scope and estimate how long it will take you to do it on your own. While you can certainly save money by DIYing home improvement projects, you can’t exactly hide an unfinished—or worse, ruined— landscaping job from the neighbors. It’s always safer to call an excavation pro near you to get an estimate.
