"Simpsons is the quickest answer I had on how to fix my basement leak. Ronnie came out assessed my situation told me the best plan. When he told me he was gonna be there he was there on the second he said. Great appreciation of his customer service if he had to come in to the house for anything would take his muddy boots off and come in with clean set or plastic wrap coverings 10 out of 10 recommend"

"We recently hired Mulryan Excavating to regrade and slope out back yard. We were unable to mow and maintain the yard because it was nothing but big ruts and overgrown brush. They came with their equipment and completely regraded everything and made it manageable."

"I have had Miller land management out to my property a couple different times to do a few different projects. From clearing out trees, to prepping and flat work under my concrete slab, to building my entire driveway, to grading around my building for proper water runoff. Would highly recommend. Personable and easy to work with. Very efficient with equipment."

"Andrew Miller in their office is very responsive and will even return phone calls on Sundays. Buck Jones and his crew are outstanding and some of the hardest working guys I have had the pleasure to meet. We hit a snag and they took care of it the correct way. The prices are some what high but you get what you pay for and I know material cost are ridiculous. I hope they pay their employees well, they deserve it"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Because decomposed granite is a durable material, a crushed rock or gravel base is optional as long as the DG is properly installed and compacted. However, installing a base is a good idea because it will ensure proper drainage and stability and act as a weed suppressant (although you may still occasionally have to pull weeds). Installing an adequate base can also increase the durability of driveways and walkways. If you forego the paver base or gravel underneath, line the area with landscaping fabric to avoid weeds.

The best method for digging a trench depends on the scope of the project. For a short, shallow trench (less than 2 feet deep) in light, soft soil, digging by hand may be sufficient. However, digging by hand is labor-intensive, so consider the effort required. A machine trencher is the better option for longer trenches (over 100 feet), deeper ones, or when dealing with difficult soil conditions, such as rocky or hard ground, or obstructions like tree roots. A machine can save significant time and energy in these situations.

Trenching is a specific kind of digging. Trenching means digging a depression in the earth that’s deeper than it is wide, often with heavy machinery. Digging refers to any kind of removal of earth in order to create a human-made depression, hole, or cut in the earth’s surface. You can dig with big tools or even with just a hand shovel.

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. 

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