"Jon was initially brought out to help us find a solution for the excessive amount of water collecting in our backyard.  We interviewed many contractors for the job, because this was the third time we were having someone come ?fix? the drainage issues. I was impressed with Jon immediately, not only were his ideas new, but he seemed to truly listen to the issues.  He was ultimately hired, because he was easy to communicate with, I felt comfortable telling him my likes and dislikes. 
During the excavation of the patio, Jon expressed his concern regarding the magnitude of water that was emitting from the soil.  I was impressed that Jon took it upon himself to bring a soil expert out to evaluate the soil and ensure that he was taking the proper steps in managing our problem.  Further, Jon went above and beyond the agreed upon scope of work by grading our backyard and creating swails to navigate the water into the newly installed drains.  Similarly, Jon added an additional French drain under the patio that was not discussed prior to the project. 
Approximately half way through the project, Jon approached me with a foreseeable problem with the design we had agreed upon.  He presented the problem and followed it up with a solution, which I appreciated.  I loved his idea of a retaining wall and knew that it was a necessity given the water issues we?ve been having.
 
There were a few hurdles, as expected with any contractor.  The first being that there was a need for more materials than expected, and while I was frustrated at the additional cost, there was no way Jon could have foreseen the problem.  The second issue centered around the shape of the patio, while we?d always discussed a semi-circular shape, he suggested we change it to a rectangular shape to increase the square footage of the patio.  While I appreciated his insight, I wish we would have discussed it at an earlier meeting.  The third, and final issue, was the length of the retaining wall.  Although the wall was decided last minute, I was under the impression that the wall was going to stop at one particular location, when instead it expanded further than thought.  I was pleasantly surprised by the length of the wall, however, it spanned the intended walkway.  Thankfully, my husband had noticed and informed the crew before they started bonding the materials.  The crew politely took apart the wall and we all decided on a solution at the last minute. 
I was so thankful for Jon and his two team members.  I felt comfortable expressing my concerns throughout the project and felt like Jon went out of his way to address and fix them.  He and his team were polite, considerate and often times we wouldn?t even know they were at the house working.  We have every intention to bring Jon and his team back to help us complete our backyard.  While there were some hurdles, we are extremely happy with the end product of the job and we HIGHLY recommend Hutchins landscaping!

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

There are several different factors that influence how long it takes to excavate. For a foundation, it could take anywhere from three days to three weeks. It can take even longer if you face weather-related delays or an inaccessible site that’s riddled with boulders and rough terrain. It may also take longer if you have clay soil, which is more difficult to dig.

If you’re planning to dig on your property, you’ll need to check for underground utility lines. Call the national call-before-you-dig 811 number. Once connected to an operator, you can schedule a site visit to mark underground lines. This way, you won’t accidentally dig into pipes and can cause major (read: costly) issues.

The physical constraints of hand-drilling a well limit the depth you can achieve. Manually digging with picks and shovels may only lead to shallow wells of up to 60 feet in depth. To reach greater depths, you need more specialized equipment. The diameter of your well and the tools you’re using will determine how far down you can dig.

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.
