"I recently hired SolBreeze Services to install lights for our basketball court, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. The team was professional, efficient, and completed the job to perfection. They took the time to understand our specific needs and ensured the lighting was both functional and well-placed. The quality of the work was excellent, and the court looks amazing at night. I highly recommend SolBreeze Services for any lighting installation needs – they truly exceeded our expectations!"

"Hired Alberto for yard drainage issues. He responded quickly and was very helpful. His crew installed a drybed and underground drains. They did a greatvjob and were very professional. In fact, they did such a good job, I contacted Alberto the next summer to build a deck. Another great job! My wife and I are really impressed with the work and knowledge that Alberto and his crew showed us. Highly recommended!"

"I will fully admit, my grass was very tall and looking a bit rough, but he did a phenomenal job and was able to get the lawn done in a timely manner (only about a day after initially contacting him). He truly did a great job, and I genuinely hope he gets more business. In my opinion, the price was very reasonable for his service."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

To drill a shallow well, you may be able to use a drive well point. This is a tapered point that is driven into the ground. A drill bit at the end of PVC pipe may be another option to consider. A lot of the cost depends on what tools are available near you.

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 way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

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.
