"C2G was excellent during the entire process. they had a quote to my in less than 24 hours and promptly answered my questions when I called them. Once I selected them they were able to schedule the job just a few days out and I could not have been more satisfied with the outcome. The two workers who did the job were knowledgeable and respectful. In over 20 years of home ownership I would have to say this was the best experience I ever had with a home contractor."

"Westley and his crew are professional, courteous, efficient and reliable. I had several companies come out and quote our excavation project. Most either never got back to us with quotes or told us the scope of work would take weeks/months to complete. Westley not only gave me a quote on the spot, but started later that week. In two days, they had the work completed that others told us would take weeks to finish. Aside from the initial excavation and land clearing, he also handled our foundation prep, facilitated our foundation being poured and did the final finish work (getting our driveway re-pitched, installing a run-off drain, etc). If you're looking to hire a company who do what they say and do it professionally, you owe it to yourself to hire Dorego construction. Thank you again, guys!"

"Cameron showed up right on time, measured and marked off the site and went to work. Excavated the site, spread and leveled 5 yards of 3/4? stone. The Reeds Ferry foreman complimented Cameron?s work. I have more work to do and Cam and his excavator can do the heavy lifting. Highly recommend Cameron."

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.

There are many ways to cut through roots when digging, especially if your trencher doesn’t seem to be removing the roots. First, use a shovel to expose the roots. Then, use gardening shears to clear out smaller roots or a reciprocating saw to remove larger plant roots. If you plan on keeping the plant, avoid cutting any roots over 2 inches thick.

A perc test can take anywhere from one to eight hours to complete. The total time depends on factors like the amount of excavation required, the depth and width of the holes, and whether multiple test holes are needed. For a single hole, the process of filling it with water and monitoring the drainage rate usually takes less than an hour. Professionals can often complete the entire test in a single day. While it's possible to get results the same day, some companies may take a few days to provide the official report.

If you’re planning to dig on your property, you’ll need to check for underground utility lines. Call the national call-before-you-dig 811 number. Once connected to an operator, you can schedule a site visit to mark underground lines. This way, you won’t accidentally dig into pipes and can cause major (read: costly) issues.

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.
