"Hoyt Industrial Works was contracted to complete HDPE repair and install condensate lines at a hog farm in Virginia. Chase, the owner and operator, was very professional and was easy to communicate with throughout the entire project. The job was completed without a hitch and in a timely manner. We look forward to using Hoyt Industrial Works in the future."

"I had a septic field that was 30+ years old. The county was requiring a whole lot more than i was anticipating. Austin Benton was referred to me by a friend. He always returned my calls, and was very prompt to explain and help me understand what i needed. Austin was quick to deal with inspectors and worked diligently on a not so easy fix for my residence. I cannot overstate this enough. He and his crew did a tremendous job. If everybody had work and business ethics that this young man has the world would be a better place."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

Some two-in-one tools and machines do both jobs, and those could be the right solution for smaller residential projects. However, the phrase “use the right tool for the job” definitely applies to digging. For the best results, get two separate tools for your trenching and landscape edging projects or call a pro to take care of everything for you.

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.

A walk-behind trencher can cut through roots as long as they’re not too thick, making a project much easier than digging with a shovel and other hand tools. Assess your terrain and the number of trees in the surrounding area to determine if a walk-behind trencher will ease the job. Digging a trench by hand is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive. 

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.

Consultation with the local government helps identify necessary permits, avoid project delays or legal issues, and protect project integrity.
