Travis Wilson founded Wilson Construction in 2011, and he has been working in the excavation trade since 2004. We primarily serve the Knox County area, but we consistently work in the surrounding Lincoln and Waldo Counties. We take pride in doing high quality work and hiring skilled workers who enjoy what they do, whether that is lawn care, stonework, or excavation. We put out a better product because of our employees. Many of our customers and subcontractors have told us that they can’t believe our attention to detail and how meticulous we are. Our initial off-hand response was, “There’s only one way to do things, and that’s the right way.” In hindsight, that’s been our motto from the beginning, and it has since become our unofficial slogan. We pride ourselves on producing high quality work in a timely manner. We approach each new project with fresh eyes and an open mind to do what best suits the property and the customer.

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.

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.

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.

The cost to drill a well ranges, but for a well that’s roughly 150 feet deep, you could spend approximately $5,500. However, prices can fluctuate substantially due to factors like geological conditions, local regulations, and variations in drilling methods. For a more precise quote tailored to your location, research local well-drilling professionals in your area.

No, fire blight does not survive free in the soil but instead is carried through insects, animals, rain, or wind during the spring. Keep in mind that it can also spread on tools, which is why you should always disinfect them in between cuts.
