"Vaughn & his family are very knowledgeable about grading, brush removal & how to get it done efficiently. He brings in the equipment necessary even if it wasn't his original plan. We had about 1 1/2 acres of brush, weeds & debris that needed to be tamed. We had just moved in to this house & the back area by the basement door had been graded improperly causing water issues. Vaughn had the brush & debris cleared & disked under as well as the back area graded in short time. He has been a huge help to my daughter on her overgrown & unmanaged 6 acres as well. Will highly recommend Wild West in the future."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

You can bury underground electrical wire six inches deep—but only if you use a rigid metal electrical conduit. For rigid, non-metallic conduits, bury the wire at least 12 inches deep. If using an underground feeder cable rated for direct burial, you'll need to place it at least 18 inches deep, as it has no conduit for extra protection.

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

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.

Drilled wells have a pipe sticking up that’s covered in a plastic or metal casing. On the other hand, a dug well will look like a big hole in the ground and is more similar to what you’d see in a fantasy or Western movie. If you want to be sure, contact the city for documentation on your property’s construction and excavation history. 

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).
