"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!"

"Kameron did a good job cutting a tree down that I had in my field. Very efficient and cut it up into more manageable pieces so I could move it. Very reasonably priced and I will definitely use him again if I need any trees down."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.

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. 

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.

Preparation involves site assessment, clearing debris, grading surfaces, and compacting soil to support stable construction.

Trenchers can dig holes as narrow as 4 inches or as wide as 4 feet. Check the specifications of the trencher you rent or buy to determine how wide it will cut into the landscape. Better yet, let the excavation company know how wide you’d like the trench to be, and they can help you choose the right trencher for the job (or do it for you).
