"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!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.

The cost to drill a well varies, with a national average of around $5,500 for a 150-foot well. However, prices can fluctuate significantly based on several factors, including your location, the required well depth, geological conditions, local regulations, and the specific drilling methods used. For the most accurate cost assessment, it is best to research and get quotes from local well-drilling professionals in your area.

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. 

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.

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.
