"Double M Groundworks did a fantastic job replacing an old retaining wall. They also did grading work around the foundation of my home to improve water drainage away from the house. The work was completed in two days. I am very pleased with their work and professionalism. I will use them again if a need arises."
"Fast friendly service. Ended up getting 12 yds for a good price. Good quality soil with just a few rock in it, but perfect for integrating with native soil."
"I had them trim two trees, a birch and a hedge tree. Both are relatively large trees and required climbing high into the trees. They did an excellent job on cutting as well as clean up. I recommend them highly."
"We had been looking for someone to repair a damaged step on a front porch. We tried about 4-5 companies and they either said no the job was too small or they had no time or they didn’t respond.
Shawn Hiatts first response to us was I think it is going to warm up next week, I can get it done then.
He showed up and did the work. He went above and beyond by making the step a little wider, which was very acceptable to us. Less chance of falling off as the other step was not so wide.
Also we were aware of needing dirt work done around the house and rock out over it. He told us that we might want to get dirt work done to save damage layer. We told him yes we knew it needed done. He offered to do it at a very reasonable price. That evening the dirt work was done and the next morning rock was down. He is very efficient and professional.
We will definitely use him again when we need more work done!!"
"They showed up on time and did an excellent job! Went above and beyond job bid and scope! I have hired them for additional jobs and have been thoroughly impressed! I recommend them all the time to my family and coworkers!"
"Ryan Baldwin called me and we scheduled a day for him to the work. He did exactly what he said he would do, for the price that we agreed to. I couldn’t be happier. I would definitely recommend him."

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.
The digging depth will depend on the size of the trencher you use. Even smaller units can dig up to 4 feet deep, which is plenty for a DIY job. However, much larger trenchers can reach a depth of 18 feet and are better used by a team of pro contractors, not a single DIYer. As with all home improvement projects, use the right tool for the job and proceed with caution.
The rules for trenching and excavation include setting up and following safety protocols, learning how to use tools and machines properly, and ensuring there is a safe exit for all workers. Keep heavy equipment and materials away from the edge of the hole or trench. Call the 811 dig line before starting any excavation or trenching project to ensure you don’t hit any electrical or gas lines.
In the United States, a depth of 36 inches (three feet) for underground water lines is the accepted industry standard. This depth varies from location to location based on local conditions. In areas with colder winters, they may be buried deeper to prevent frozen well water pipes : This is usually at least six inches below the frost level. The International Plumbing Code calls for a minimum of 12 inches below grade.
Completion time ranges from days to weeks, contingent on project size, environmental conditions, and regulatory approvals.
