"Two employees that he brought. A wrapped on time. At 10 o'clock by 11: 30, they were by 11 o'clock. They were having to call him to bring him a chainsaw because their equipment didn't have bars on the chainsaw so they couldn't cut. I had a tree down in my yard and it needed it to be cut up. It was a partial tree. They didn't even have the equipment to cut it up. And then, like, I said . Guy was there when the employee called him at 11: 30, and asked for a chainsaw, and he didn't show up with anything until 4: 30. In the afternoon, these guys were out there trying to chop up these trees using a pickaxe. They didn't even have a telephone to call him with. He left them without a phone. They had to use my phone and my daughter's phone to even contact him. And then he rushed me to pay him because he told me not to worry about it until you know everything was done. And he rushed me to pay him. I was out at the grocery store, and I told him I'd be home. He, they told me, you were here. And that's what I'm not. I'll be right there. And then, when I get there, he's standing on my porch waiting on me. I thought you were in the house, and I already told him I wasn't at home. Well, then I go out and I look after they leave because he didn't even give me time to look. They had taken a wreck and a half of my firewood that they weren't supposed to touch. They had chopped up my, uh Rosa Sharon bush, that they weren't supposed to touch. They were supposed to take a pile of brush out of the backyard. They didn't take it, and they were supposed to trim two small trees out over the top of my shed, and those didn't get touched. And when I told him that he argued with me and said, well, they said they did it with a machete. As it was obvious. If you come and look, those trees are still there so I didn't like his attitude. I didn't like the way he treated his employees. They had no way to contact him if and when they had gotten done early, which they couldn't because they didn't have the equipment they needed to do the job with. But he sure wanted my money real quick. "

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

No, a ditch isn’t a trench. A ditch is an open, relatively shallow channel that’s carved out of the ground and used for drainage purposes. In contrast, a trench is a deeper excavation that’s entirely underground. Trenches have many uses, including gas lines, sewage systems, and electrical wiring. Unlike trenches, ditches don’t get filled back in with dirt after they’re dug.

You can dig 60 to 80 linear feet by hand per day depending on the depth. Digging a 100-foot trench by hand will take you two work days, but it can take longer if you have heavy or rocky soil. If you’re digging a deep trench or one that’s over 100 feet, consider renting a mechanical trencher, such as a walk-behind or ride-on, or calling a pro for help. 

Professional installers often include a deep layer of crushed gravel under permeable pavers to allow more runoff to soak through into the soil below. Many installations will include multiple layers of gravel, with coarser aggregate at the base and finer aggregate that sits on top of that bottom layer. Above the gravel, you’ll often find coarse sand that helps reduce paver shifting over time. Some permeable paver designs include a water collection system set into the gravel layer to route runoff to a safe area for disposal.

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.
