37 YEARS EXPERIENCE Engineered Drainage Systems And Foundation Waterproofing For Residential, Commercial, And Industrial Applications. Every drainage system we Install is backed by a three year ironclad warranty no questions asked

"I would give Drainage Plus 10 stars if I could! Troy was recommended to me by a very reputable civil engineer in this area and it is easy to see why- their work is excellent, their team is extremely hard working, and their prices are very fair and reasonable. Troy always responded quickly and courteously to all my questions and the whole team went above and beyond on my drainage project (they built retaining walls, installed drainage pipes and dug drainage ditches). I would highly recommend Drainage Plus to anyone in need of drainage solutions."

"Was quoted $1400 to remove a good bit of bamboo. I told them I want it rooted and gone not just trimmed down to which he agreed. They were supposed to show up on a Wednesday. Never came. I even texted and got no answer. I gave them the benefit of the doubt because it had rained the night before. Had my husband called to which they said they would be out Thursday morning. They showed up Thursday at 3:30pm. Worked for about and hour and a half. At one point they sat in their truck for 30 min. I asked if they would return tomorrow cause I assume they don’t work in the dark. They said they would be back at 8am the next day. They next day they show up at 12:30pm along with the owner who I originally talked to and was quoted the price by. The owner proceeds to tell me that they can’t do the job for the quoted price, he underestimated how big of a job it was and the price was now $3200. I told them I couldn’t pay that right now so he said they would finish up the one area that they had started and remove some debris from my yard for $500. So they did so however they never uprooted the area they cut down. The owner comes to my house around 4:30 in the evening to collect the money. I told him I didn’t pay his guys cause the job wasn’t finished and the roots in that particular area weren’t removed. He then told me that wasn’t part of the price but he would come back Monday and do it for free. To no surprise he never showed up. I would not recommend these people."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

You do not have to dig footers for a deck as long as it meets local code and holds up to weather in your area. If you live somewhere that experiences high winds and earthquakes, you may need to dig for your deck posts. Deck blocks, post anchors with base plates, and helical pile systems are the three no-dig deck post options you can choose from if local code permits.

Digging a well can cost between $20 and $25,000, depending on your needs. If you’re looking to dig a well yourself, all you need is a shovel. If you’re looking to have a well drilled by a professional, you can expect to pay around $15 to $30 per foot. The total cost of drilling a well will average to $5,500.

Digging a bush up by the roots is the most natural DIY method for removing a bush stump. Start by identifying the shrub type and revealing its roots. Cut the shrub to its base and loosen the soil, ensuring no utility lines are nearby. Optionally, treat the base with herbicide, then dig around the roots and cut a circle around the shrub using various tools. Dig a trench, cut the base of the root ball, and finally fill the hole to prevent regrowth. This thorough process ensures complete removal without damaging surrounding areas.

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.
