"Absolutely Outstanding Service! I hired Lane to handle trucking and dirt work to prep my yard for landscaping, and he went above and beyond in every way. From start to finish, his professionalism, efficiency, and attention to detail was impressive. He didn?t just get the job done?he made sure it was done right. The crew was punctual, courteous, and clearly experienced. They tackled tough terrain, ensured proper grading, and even cleaned up better than expected. What really stood out was how proactive they were? offering helpful suggestions and making improvements I had not even thought of. It is rare these days to find a company that takes this much pride in their work. I am beyond pleased with the results and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing dirt work or site prep. Thanks again for exceeding expectations!"

"Chad, Dale, Andy, and the team were amazing. We had a super tight schedule, and they delivered! They excavated for a yurt (mountainyurt.com), septic, driveway, and even built a berm. Chad is a smart guy, and the whole crew are experts with their equipment. We would use them again no questions asked!!"

Excavating questions, 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.

If you don’t have a crawl space but have a partial basement you want to make deeper, you can expect to spend a little less—between $40,000 and $90,000 on average. However, if you’re not adding new finished square footage, you won’t see much in the way of ROI.

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.

Dumpsters work best on hard, study, and level surfaces made of asphalt, stone, or concrete. If the surface is uneven or too soft, the dumpster could get stuck or tip over when filled. Keep in mind that you must obtain a dumpster permit to keep it on a city street in many areas.

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.
