"hired Hobbs excavating for a large residential project, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The crew was professional, efficient, and clearly knew their craft. They showed up on time every day, kept the site organized, and completed the job ahead of schedule. Their attention to detail was impressive — they graded everything perfectly and made sure the drainage was spot-on. Communication throughout the process was clear and honest, which made the whole experience stress-free. If you need excavation, site prep, or grading done right the first time, I highly recommend Hobbs excavation Quality work, fair pricing, and a great team to work with!"

"I was contacted the same day as I posted my need, Mr Franklin came by and gave me a reasonable price to do the work and stated he could do it the next day. He picked up the supplies from Lowes where I had ordered them and brought it to my home. His crew did a great job of replacing 5 shrubs and laying new mulch. They were efficient, and were friendly while doing the job. I am very pleased with the work they did. Would definitely recommend them to others. Thanks again, Bea"

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.

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.

Digging out a basement takes anywhere from a few days to a few months. Most projects take at least two to five weeks, but it could take several months if you encounter obstacles. This project takes longer if you need to brace or raise your home before the excavation. Digging out a basement in new construction can take as little as three days.

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.

A joint utility trench, or joint trench, is a long, buried ditch on a property that contains two or more utility lines rather than running the lines in multiple trenches. Some utilities, like gas and electric or electric and communication lines, are better suited to joint trenching, while others, like water and sewer, are not allowed to be in the same trench.
