"Upon moving into a new house, we needed to modify our existing pole barn with taller doors to accommodate our travel trailer. The garage door company highly recommended Knoch and Sons to do the construction. Randy and Tina Knoch responded promptly to our call and devised a plan to accomplish the job. Not only did they modify one of the front garage doors but they also added a new opening in the back of the barn for an exit door. The work was done promptly and professionally. The barn looks like it was never touched! The install is perfect! We would highly recommend their work for any construction job!"

"Tomâ s attention to detail and work ethic are off the charts! He listened to what we liked and wanted and still exceeded our expectations. He offered solutions and ideas without being pushy. He really knows what heâ s doing. He is very knowledgeable and dependable, you can count on him to show up and do a great job. The other lawn companies damaged our pool, downspouts, our retaining wall, pool covers, garden hoses and pool storage bins, they blew the grass into our a/c unit, and towards the windows in the house! It was awful! Thank God we found Tom, he HAS NOT damaged a thing! His rates are so reasonable. You will not go wrong with this company."

"Gave reasonable bid to locate and replace 100" drain line. Came when scheduled, quickly located and replaced old line that was filled with tree roots. When finshed cleaned up and leveled area that had been dug up. I will definitely use Straight Line Trenching for their services in the future."

"This company has completed several different projects for me on a home restoration. Fabian Guza has been amazing. On a bathroom project, he saved me thousands of dollars by suggesting I allow him to try and polish away hard water stains that I had tried everything to remove. He saved the tile and saved me money. The tile looks wonderful. The room he laid hardwood in matches the rest of the floors perfectly. The old hardwood floors that I thought could never look like new do! In addition to all of this, Fabian has explained things to me so I understandâ no mean feat. There are several other projects and each one I have been completely satisfied with the work performed"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Downspouts should be buried at least 5 to 10 feet away from your foundation. This can vary depending on your local building codes, soil type, and property slope. The main goal is to ensure water is directed away from your foundation.

After you successfully remove your boulder, you have a few options for what to do to get rid of it. You can rent a dumpster if your yard has many boulders or if you’re planning a larger project. You can even save the boulder and reuse it elsewhere on your property to save on landscaping costs. A few ideas include using the boulder as a natural, abstract statue, breaking it into smaller pieces to line your garden bed, or offering it to a landscaping company that could reuse it for another project.

Depth is not a qualifying component of evacuation. Any human-made cut, cavity, or depression in the earth’s surface is considered excavation. The hole from excavation can be any size, shape, or depth. Excavation is used to create foundations, reservoirs, drainage ditches, and roads. Long, narrow excavations are called trenches and are often used for underground utilities.

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even for projects that only involve grading or yard leveling. Permit requirements depend on your local government and the scope of the project, but they are especially common for significant digging or work that could affect utilities or public property. These permits help protect the local topography and prevent drainage issues. An experienced excavation company will typically know whether permits are needed and can often handle the process of pulling and closing them for you. You can also verify permit requirements by contacting your local building department and describing your project.

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.
