"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

Generally, a trenchless sewer line is worth the cost. If your old system needs replacement, trenchless sewer repair or replacement can save you thousands on excavation costs. Every homeowner’s situation is different, but this method is definitely worth it in a lot of cases.

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. 

Trenches are 12 to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, the right depth for your trench will depend on the nature of your project. For example, if you’re digging a trench as part of a French drain installation, it should be 18 inches deep. An excavation professional can explain how deep your trench should be.

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.

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.
