"Chisum and his team have gone above and beyond to transform our backyard. We moved into our newly built home in May of 2020 and have had a mostly unusable backyard until now. Chisum responded to my online inquiry on the same day and was out for a visit shortly after to discuss how to install a retaining wall to level the poor grade our home builder left us with. Bond Site Solutions has regraded our backyard, installed a 70ft+ engineered retaining wall, built a paver patio with fire pit, paver trash can area & paver grill area and installed zoysia sod. They've also installed a lighting package to highlight all the beautiful hardscaping. His quotes have all been very competitive and proved to be accurate. We are now enjoying 75% more usable space. His crew is professional and on time. They have not showed up late once, and have only missed days due to weather. The work has all been done the right way. Highly recommend and have already done so to neighbors and family."

"Sergiy and his crew are great! I am remodeling my kitchen and they completed a handful of projects for me. They care about their work quality and are very professional. Sergiy was transparent with what work was being done and the associated costs. I would highly recommend Sergiy and his team!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even for projects that only involve grading or yard leveling. Permit requirements depend on your local government and the scope of the project, but they are especially common for significant digging or work that could affect utilities or public property. These permits help protect the local topography and prevent drainage issues. An experienced excavation company will typically know whether permits are needed and can often handle the process of pulling and closing them for you. You can also verify permit requirements by contacting your local building department and describing your project.

Drilled wells have a pipe sticking up that’s covered in a plastic or metal casing. On the other hand, a dug well will look like a big hole in the ground and is more similar to what you’d see in a fantasy or Western movie. If you want to be sure, contact the city for documentation on your property’s construction and excavation history. 

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.

You should dig 3 to 6 inches deep for plastic edging. Dig as wide as you need to fit your plastic edging into it—2 inches is usually sufficient.

Depending on the severity of the freeze and the method used, thawing frozen underground pipes can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours. Applying heat directly to the pipe using heat tape, infrared lamps, or hot water jetting can speed up the process. However, patience and careful monitoring are key to avoiding pipe damage.
