"This is our third year working with Minnick landscaping for our spring cleanup, and we couldn’t be happier. They cut and shaped the beds, beautifully, applied mulch, evenly, and took on big projects like removing old, overgrown shrubbery. They also helped us choose the right replacements and plant them so everything looks balanced and healthy. Every year, our yard looks completely renewed thanks to their hard work. We truly appreciate their reliability, quality, and how respectful they are of the property. Excellent service every year. We also feel that they are very competitive with pricing and look forward to having them come back next year. We are already planning our next project with them."

"Josh and his crew from Mr. Miller Concrete did a fantastic job of removing our 20x40 inground pool. The communication was great and the entire crew was extremely nice and did all that we requested. Although the work was delayed due to weather they were excellent, and I would highly recommend them."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Depth is not a qualifying component of evacuation. Any human-made cut, cavity, or depression in the earth’s surface is considered excavation. The hole from excavation can be any size, shape, or depth. Excavation is used to create foundations, reservoirs, drainage ditches, and roads. Long, narrow excavations are called trenches and are often used for underground utilities.

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. 

We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.

Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.

You can bury underground electrical wire six inches deep—but only if you use a rigid metal electrical conduit. For rigid, non-metallic conduits, bury the wire at least 12 inches deep. If using an underground feeder cable rated for direct burial, you'll need to place it at least 18 inches deep, as it has no conduit for extra protection.

Sewer lines can be buried anywhere from 18 inches to 8 feet deep, with a common average depth between 18 and 30 inches. The exact depth depends on local factors like climate and soil type. In colder regions, pipes must be buried deeper (below the frost line) to prevent freezing, sometimes as deep as 8 feet. The digging depth can also impact the cost of sewer line replacement. To find the specific depth for your property, you can check the building plans for your system, which should be on file with your city or local sanitation department since permits are required for installation.
