"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."

"At first I was skeptical about hiring a smaller company to do work on our property, we needed quite a be bit done. After getting bids from some bigger companies I realized going with a smaller local company was a better choice. During all the work they did, there was a couple hick ups due to the massive boulders that where in the way. They were very clear with communication on what was going on, and the time it was going to add onto the project to remove these huge things. I had them make trenches about 150 yards long for electrical, and another 150, plus some for 5 water spigots for a trench, and we wanted the water lines ram through conduit for extra protection. They also installed a septic system for our shop and house. After that I talked to them about grading an area for the house to be built on and finishing our driveway and they were please to have more work done. Everything is completed and I could not be happier with them and recommend to anyone I know or hear needs work done. Thank you S&P for your hard work."

"We hired Black Mountain Ind. to plant 2 evergreen trees in our front yard. We were so impressed with the results that we called them back for a third tree in our backyard. TJ and Nick are hard working guys and do great work!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

It takes one hour to dig a 10-foot trench by hand. Use a trenching shovel with a sharp tip and a long head. Plan for more time if your soil is heavy or rocky. Consider renting a trencher if you’re digging a long or deep trench or if you have challenging soil or terrain. 

Most residential basements are 8 to 10 feet deep. You can dig deeper depending on building codes, but it does become more difficult. You’ll likely need to install stronger foundation walls and additional supports to handle the increased load. Depending on the water table, you may also need a water management system. Clay soil can support a deeper foundation than sandy soil. A structural engineer will be able to tell you the maximum, feasible depth.

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.

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.

Excavations take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time it takes to excavate an area depends on the size of the area, the type of soil, the type of excavator, and even the time of year, since winter can make digging up the ground more difficult.
