"Going into the project I was very scared of having a HUGE mess with the dust and debris everywhere. Chris recommended we get a storage pod and his guys even loaded all of our stuff for us. I just want to say that Chris with Chesapeake was beyond my expectations. The level of professionalism that him and his crew had was amazing. He made my house still livable with the renovations going on and cleaned up the whole kitchen very nice when they finished. I am so happy with the finished product that my wife and I are now putting together a budget to have our master bedroom and guest rooms remodeled with this company soon. Chris had GREAT ideas for cabinets and final layouts that went well beyond my expectations. I would 100% recommend this company to anyone needing work done. With free estimates why wouldnt you call them??"

"Mark was very easy to deal with and very helpful in the planning process. He took time out before the project to meet me at his supply company to point out what specific materials he would be using since I was having a hard time envisioning the final product. I only had two minor complaints after the work was completed. There were several obvious imperfections and aesthetic issues that could have been avoided with a better attention to detail. I noticed them almost immediately when seeing the finished product which was a bit frustrating. Secondly, even after providing a specific location on my property for his employees to dump excess stone and dirt, I still found spoil piles in multiple locations that were left behind. Two of which were apparently hidden(?!) behind bushes right next to the project. Additionally, I found small items of trash around the job site after the crew left. However, I did enjoy working with Mark and would absolutely do so again. I would though, keep a closer eye on his employees and check their work a little more thoroughly during the job and prior to them leaving."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Depending on the severity of the freeze and the method used, thawing frozen underground pipes can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours. Applying heat directly to the pipe using heat tape, infrared lamps, or hot water jetting can speed up the process. However, patience and careful monitoring are key to avoiding pipe damage.

Consultation with the local government helps identify necessary permits, avoid project delays or legal issues, and protect project integrity.

The easier way to find buried sprinkler lines is to use the plan from the professionals who installed the system. If you don’t have professional plans, listen for running water on your lawn when you turn on the system. You may also spot wet areas, giving you an idea of where the heads are. Once you find the sprinkler heads, you’ll likely be able to connect the dots between them, revealing the system below.

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.

Trenching and boring are two distinct methods for installing underground utilities. Trenching involves digging a channel using equipment like an excavator, trencher, backhoe, or shovel. While it is a simpler process, it causes significant disruption to the surface, landscaping, and surrounding ecosystems.

Boring, also known as directional boring, is a less invasive alternative that uses a drill to create a tunnel for utility lines without disturbing the surface. This method is more precise and is ideal for installations that need to go underneath buildings, roads, or bodies of water. Although boring is less disruptive, it is generally more expensive than trenching.
