"We needed some major work on our driveway and had reached out to a company. After almost 5 weeks of almost no communication I gave up and found Anthony. He did such an incredible job. He kept us informed of every step of the way. He spent time going over every thing that was going to be done, how it was to be done and he kept his word. He let us know every day when he would be here and he worked all day. He is intelligent and solved all the issues we were dealing with. We would definitely hire Anthony again. He is fair priced, very personable and does an excellent job. "

PD Plumbing & Restoration is a complete plumbing service. When other company's say "we leave that to the professionals" ,we are the professionals. We are family owned with over 47 years combined experience. We offer true 24 hours a day, 7 days a week plumbing service.

"The first task or replacing a toilette for a remodeled bathroom went excellent, I got more for my money than I spent. They were very professional and courteous. Later when I got them over to assist in stopping a leak for the vanity sink I put in, they came out with no problem and worked for about 10 minutes and installed parts I couldn't get. The sink still leaked. Since then, they've been scheduled twice to come out and work on this "Guaranteed" repair and they've not kept the appointments. I've left many, many, many messages, and if I do get a real person, they hang up. I don't know what the problem is, but I do have numerous plumbing tasks in the future, and at first, I wanted to use them for all the tasks in the old houses and the new one I'm building, but now, I doubt if outside the small claims courtroom I'll ever see them again."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Some two-in-one tools and machines do both jobs, and those could be the right solution for smaller residential projects. However, the phrase “use the right tool for the job” definitely applies to digging. For the best results, get two separate tools for your trenching and landscape edging projects or call a pro to take care of everything for you.

A walk-behind trencher can cut through roots as long as they’re not too thick, making a project much easier than digging with a shovel and other hand tools. Assess your terrain and the number of trees in the surrounding area to determine if a walk-behind trencher will ease the job. Digging a trench by hand is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive. 

Most residential basements are 8 to 10 feet deep. You can dig deeper depending on building codes, but it does become more difficult. You’ll likely need to install stronger foundation walls and additional supports to handle the increased load. Depending on the water table, you may also need a water management system. Clay soil can support a deeper foundation than sandy soil. A structural engineer will be able to tell you the maximum, feasible depth.

It takes two to three hours to trench 100 feet with a mechanical trencher or 10 to 12 hours if digging with a shovel. The total time to dig a trench depends on the depth, width, soil type, terrain, trencher type, and your level of experience. Digging in clay or rocky soil takes longer than soft ground.  

On average, you’re looking at about 12 hours to dig 100 linear feet. Your actual work time will come down to how many twists and turns there are when digging—such as rocky soil, tree roots, obstructions, and whether the ground is frozen.
