"Had S&S Construction put under pending around doublewide trailer. They made such they had the color I wanted. They work hard and made sure it was on nice and strand strong enough to keep from wind blowing in or out. It looks great on bottom of trailer. I will hire them again when I need anything else done. Thank you guys so much."

"Where do I start? They will return your phone calls, answer any questions in a courteous & professional manner. Gave us a fair estimate on a fence job & gave us a date when they could do the job. They actually got to us quicker than we expected. Arrived when they said they would, worked hard & didn't leave a mess when they left. Everyone we talked to was courteous, professional and friendly. They did the job exactly how we wanted it done & our horses are happy they can go from their pasture to the barn anytime they want. I would highly recommend Pro Performance Industrial to anyone. We are very happy with the job they did for us & they did it for a reasonable price."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

No, you typically cannot use metal detectors to find your sewer line. Most sewer lines are made of non-metallic materials such as PVC, clay, or cast iron, which are not detectable by standard metal detectors. Metal detectors are designed to locate metallic objects, so they won't be effective for identifying the path of a non-metallic sewer line. To locate your sewer line accurately, it's best to use other methods.

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.

Chipmunks dig their burrows about three feet deep and up to 30 feet long. The entrances can be two inches wide or more. Chipmunks are fiercely protective of their burrows and use them to protect the nuts and seeds they gather for the long winters.

A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock.

Because decomposed granite is a durable material, a crushed rock or gravel base is optional as long as the DG is properly installed and compacted. However, installing a base is a good idea because it will ensure proper drainage and stability and act as a weed suppressant (although you may still occasionally have to pull weeds). Installing an adequate base can also increase the durability of driveways and walkways. If you forego the paver base or gravel underneath, line the area with landscaping fabric to avoid weeds.
