"The owner, Jimy, was very professional and courteous. I hired him to clear some trees and level out the ground where we plan on building a large patio. There were some concerns made by the contractor with the underground water lines but Mr. Jimy made all the necessary calls to ensure that nothing was in the way. It was definitely an added benefit that he is also a water systems specialist as well. The job was completed without any problems and I am very happy with the work. I would definitely recommend JTV excavations!!!"

"The Clingon Professional Earthworks company was hired to solve a drainage issue in which our driveway had been washed out twice before. They reviewed the topography and made a plan. Before the start of the job several workers measured and reviewed the property. Also durning and after the job was completed they were out monitoring the drainage. I appreciated the total commitment to getting the job done right. They arrived each day in the early morning and worked throughout the day. Very professional and made me feel confident we will not be encountering further issues."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

Trenching is a specific kind of digging. Trenching means digging a depression in the earth that’s deeper than it is wide, often with heavy machinery. Digging refers to any kind of removal of earth in order to create a human-made depression, hole, or cut in the earth’s surface. You can dig with big tools or even with just a hand shovel.

In the United States, a depth of 36 inches (three feet) for underground water lines is the accepted industry standard. This depth varies from location to location based on local conditions. In areas with colder winters, they may be buried deeper to prevent frozen well water pipes : This is usually at least six inches below the frost level. The International Plumbing Code calls for a minimum of 12 inches below grade.

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.

The time it takes to build a pool—and dig out the area—varies based on the pool size and type. A professional excavator will take between four and eight hours to dig a pool. The process will take longer if they encounter large boulders or tree roots. Keep in mind that this is a small part of the process in the long run. You will need between eight and 12 weeks to build a pool from start to finish, including the time to apply for permits.

You can dig 60 to 80 linear feet by hand per day depending on the depth. Digging a 100-foot trench by hand will take you two work days, but it can take longer if you have heavy or rocky soil. If you’re digging a deep trench or one that’s over 100 feet, consider renting a mechanical trencher, such as a walk-behind or ride-on, or calling a pro for help.
