"Over 9 years ago, I had hired Paul from Greenview to redo my backyard as far as fixing the drainage and slope problems. They screwed it up so badly I had flooding issues next to the house and drainage was nonexistent. Called several lawn companies, and Lyndon was the only one who came out, and did a followup bid. He was very specific on what would be done and had no hesitation on any question I posed. He was patient and explained a lot of things I did not understand. We agreed an the bid, and after re-fi on the house was completed, we scheduled the work. Even with the weather and mechanical problems, he did exactly what he said he would do, and was done quickly and professionally. He put in a large French drain system in the backyard, following the side of the house, and all the way to the street. He regraded the backyard slope and eliminated the "rolling hills" that the previous lawn company left me. Finally sod was laid. Backyard looks so much better and he explained how over time, things will straighten out and by summer, the difference from what I had, to now, will be as night and day. I will definitely hire his company again for more work in the future."

"Scotty has provided his services for 2 of my projects. One was a bridge across a creek so I could reach some acreage I did not have access to. The other was rip rap around a pond dam to eliminate erosion. Both were excellent, on time and in budgets. Definitely use him again."

"Very professional service. Price was as quoted and less than local competitors. Showed up a little late but contacted us to let us know he was running behind first. Took about an hour to complete the work. Would definitely use them again."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

If you don’t wish to dig it out and convert it into a finished basement, you can still encapsulate your crawl space to protect it from damage for an average cost of $5,500. Finishing a crawl space beyond this isn’t really worthwhile, as the low ceilings mean you won’t be able to use the area as living space.

Trenches are typically 12 to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, the required depth depends on the specific project and local ordinances. For example, a French drain may need to be 18 inches deep, while a water pipe might require a depth of 24 inches and a drainage pipe 36 inches. Your city or county may have specific regulations, so it's wise to consult with an excavation professional to determine the correct depth for your project.

The digging depth will depend on the size of the trencher you use. Even smaller units can dig up to 4 feet deep, which is plenty for a DIY job. However, much larger trenchers can reach a depth of 18 feet and are better used by a team of pro contractors, not a single DIYer. As with all home improvement projects, use the right tool for the job and proceed with caution.

You can bury underground electrical wire six inches deep—but only if you use a rigid metal electrical conduit. For rigid, non-metallic conduits, bury the wire at least 12 inches deep. If using an underground feeder cable rated for direct burial, you'll need to place it at least 18 inches deep, as it has no conduit for extra protection.

Yes, you can install a trench drain if you already have concrete in your yard or garden. While it can complicate some aspects of the job and slightly run up the cost, it is doable. Residential trench drains can be easily retrofitted to outdoor areas with concrete without having to remove excessive amounts of your patio, pool area, or decorative walkways.
