"I couldn?t be happier with the work Garden of Eva did in my backyard. They installed a beautiful Koi pond, a waterfall, an outdoor kitchen, and a fire pit?all completed on time and even came in a bit under budget. The craftsmanship and attention to detail were outstanding. I would absolutely use them again and highly recommend Garden of Ava to anyone looking to transform their outdoor space."

"Scott And the guys at Legacy have done several jobs for us at our plantation in Brunswick county. From Forestry mulching, to reconditioning and re grading our gravel road systems and excavating impoundments- the guys at legacy have done a fantastic job with everything we’ve asked of them. The Legacy crew does great work that is well priced and we will continue to use them!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

To drill a shallow well, you may be able to use a drive well point. This is a tapered point that is driven into the ground. A drill bit at the end of PVC pipe may be another option to consider. A lot of the cost depends on what tools are available near you.

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.

Depth is not a qualifying component of evacuation. Any human-made cut, cavity, or depression in the earth’s surface is considered excavation. The hole from excavation can be any size, shape, or depth. Excavation is used to create foundations, reservoirs, drainage ditches, and roads. Long, narrow excavations are called trenches and are often used for underground utilities.

Yes, trenchers can go through gravel. Gravel is made up of smaller, softer rocks that certain trenchers are able to cut through. Just be sure to use a rock wheel trencher or chain trencher, both of which are made to cut through rocky landscapes and gravel pathways without dulling the teeth or chain.
