"Jared did an amazing job and was very thorough in his work. He prepared the site work for a retaining wall behind a newly installed pool and the attention to details in where he placed the drainage was perfect. The following week we had a tremendous amount of rain and it kept all that water well away from the pool. Took a lot of pride in the work he did for us and can not wait to work with him again on our next project!"

"I couldn’t be more impressed with the crew. I fully expected them to need a heavy crane for this job, but they expertly climbed up and took the tree down systematically, branch by branch. Their level of precision and care was incredible—they made sure every single branch came down safely, completely protecting all of our surrounding decorative trees without a scratch. Meticulous, professional, and hardworking from start to finish. A job wonderfully done!"

"Diego and his crew did a great job! This was a large 1,200 square foot patio area renovation that included a paver patio, pea gravel patio, grass (sod), cobblestones and a new privacy fence. I then hired him to mulch the property (20 yards). He came when he said he would, cleaned up and got the whole project done in a little over a week. Highly recommend!!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Trenches are typically 12 to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, the required depth depends on the specific project and local ordinances. For example, a French drain may need to be 18 inches deep, while a water pipe might require a depth of 24 inches and a drainage pipe 36 inches. Your city or county may have specific regulations, so it's wise to consult with an excavation professional to determine the correct depth for your project.

Yes, professional installations include trenching or borehole drilling required for ground loops.

It’s possible to transplant trees as tall as 50 feet when an experienced tree planting service uses the right equipment. However, a tree with a trunk larger than two or three inches in diameter needs to be handled by a professional in order to yield successful transplanting results. Consulting a tree planting professional is the best way to tell if your large tree can be safely transplanted.

How deep your septic system needs to be into the ground depends on several factors. In extremely cold environments, the tank needs to rest below the maximum frost line, which can be up to six or eight feet deep. The standard burying depth for most systems is between a few inches and four feet below ground level. Depth can also depend on the slope of the landscaping and other property variables. 

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.
