"Brandon came out to evaluate the project. I had 30 piles of asphalt millings that I wanted spread over my driveways. We agreed on a price and he was right on time for when he said he would be back to complete the project. He stayed in constant contact with me (even though I was at work the entire time he was at my home to work) and told me exactly what was going on. He didn’t get the job done in one day like he thought but he returned first thing this morning to finish up. Words can not express the outstanding job that was done. The driveways are as smooth as babies butts and if we needed something changed, he easily adapted to our needs. I highly recommend Mulryan Excavating to anyone needing large equipment work done. A young man but raised to be polite, courteous and above all respectful. If you skip this contractor, YOU are the one missing out. A in my book."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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

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. 

Water lines are buried at various depths, depending on the type of line. For example, most sprinkler lines are buried between four and 12 inches underground. On the other hand, water mains usually sit between one and 3 feet below ground. However, they can go even deeper in cold climates to prevent freezing.

Silt fences should be trenched 8 to 12 inches deep to prevent sediment-filled water from escaping underneath. It also helps to anchor the fence during wet, windy weather. The silt fence fabric often has a red line to indicate the depth for digging. A good contractor will be familiar with the guidelines and regulations.

Digging a bush up by the roots is the most natural DIY method for removing a bush stump. Start by identifying the shrub type and revealing its roots. Cut the shrub to its base and loosen the soil, ensuring no utility lines are nearby. Optionally, treat the base with herbicide, then dig around the roots and cut a circle around the shrub using various tools. Dig a trench, cut the base of the root ball, and finally fill the hole to prevent regrowth. This thorough process ensures complete removal without damaging surrounding areas.
