"Excellent customer service. We were in serious jeopardy of a tree falling on our shed, so CGull responded very quickly. They arrived on time, took the tree down, and cleaned up afterwards."

"I recently hired this contractor for a full home demolition in preparation for a new home rebuild. The project exceeded every expectation. From start to finish, their customer service was truly exceptional—they were professional, responsive, and genuinely committed to making the process as smooth as possible. Communication was outstanding at every stage, Most importantly, the project was completed exactly on schedule and stayed within the agreed-upon budget, which is rare and greatly appreciated. The quality of their work, combined with their reliability and integrity, makes them a contractor I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a seamless and stress-free experience. Harris S."

"Lee's Yard Works came to my rescue before an Open House to sell my house --- after 7 other services did not want any jobs under 5 men and $1500. I think Lee did a Fantastic shrub bed clean up, mulching, clipping palm branches hanging from tall trees, and taking off palm yard debris, clipping branches, and making everything really pretty. What a great, friendly, fairly priced business! Great work ethic too ! Thank you Lee ! I highly recommend this business and appreciate the hard work!"

"I have used WCR Hauling on several occasion. The young man, Wade, that has come to my house is prompt and hard working. WCR hauled away a bunch of items that I just didn't know how to get rid of. They did it quickly, cleanly, and their prices were very fair. Especially when you consider that he had to take my stuff to a dump and cover those prices. I would highly recommend them without hesitation."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Sewer lines can be buried anywhere from 18 inches to 8 feet deep, with a common average depth between 18 and 30 inches. The exact depth depends on local factors like climate and soil type. In colder regions, pipes must be buried deeper (below the frost line) to prevent freezing, sometimes as deep as 8 feet. The digging depth can also impact the cost of sewer line replacement. To find the specific depth for your property, you can check the building plans for your system, which should be on file with your city or local sanitation department since permits are required for installation.

The best type of soil to build on is a mixture of sand and clay, known as loam soil. Loam soil has the best combination of these soil types to build a foundation on. The clay particles help with water retention, so it won’t erode like sandy soil might, and the sandy particles help with drainage, so you won’t see unsafe soil expansion or have an increased risk of leaks from water sitting against your foundation.

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

There are many ways to cut through roots when digging, especially if your trencher doesn’t seem to be removing the roots. First, use a shovel to expose the roots. Then, use gardening shears to clear out smaller roots or a reciprocating saw to remove larger plant roots. If you plan on keeping the plant, avoid cutting any roots over 2 inches thick.

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.
