"Ivan and John are great contractors. I called them while still living out of state for an estimate. They were quick to get that estimate done and check back with me. They knew my time constraints and worked with me on that and got it done when I needed it. They were considerate of our needs and pets when making the fence. They completed the fence in just a few days and it was no small task as the property is nearly half an acre. We were highly impressed with their work ethic. They showed up early and left late. I would not hesitate to hire them again or recommend them to others. You will not regret hiring Southern Contracting."

"This company demonstrated expectational politeness and helpfulness in assisting me with resolving the issue of dead trees in my yard. Tristin, the professional I worked with, stood out for his fair pricing, unlike others who had provided estimates with inflated costs. His level of professionalism and efficiency in handling the job was truly impressive. I am certain that I will not hesitate to hire him again for any future projects. #excavations# tree removal"

"Tim and his crew recently cleared brush and smaller trees from around our pond bank, leaving the larger trees. He also tended to our driveway, fixing potholes, and trimmed other trees on the property. He answered our call, and completed both the estimate and the work in a very timely manner. We thought his price was very reasonable for what we asked him to do. He was very communicative and professional, providing a written statement as to our agreement. We feel Tim went above and beyond to assure our satisfaction with his work, and we will certainly call him to work for us again in the future."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock.

Preparation involves site assessment, clearing debris, grading surfaces, and compacting soil to support stable construction.

A mini excavator can dig between 5 and 11 feet deep, depending on the type and size of the mini excavator. Mini hydraulic excavators are more powerful and can reach deeper into the earth, but electric models have a more limited range. Mini excavators over two tons in size are also more powerful and able to dig as deep as 11 feet.

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.

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.
