"Very happy with the quality of work, the professionalism, the down to earth open honesty, commitment to detail, ability to explain, courtesy, and hard work ethic the guys at GroundShapersLLC exhibited throughout the week long project. They constructed a low height retaining with an effective drainage system, dry creek beds to funnel water, filled area and regraded the slope of area to run to the dry creek beds. The project was completed on time without any issues. I will definately use this company for all future projects that invole what their name says "ground shaping"."

"Needed fencing installed to keep groundhogs from taking up residence under our deck. Brady came up with a creative and complete solution that made sure the varmints were out and would not return. Would use again."

"Matt came and gave me what I thought was a very fair price to remove a huge oak tree that hanging over my house. 80-100 feet tall. Came on Tuesday and sent crew on Thursday. Very quick and careful work. I was super impressed with the job they did. Clean up was awesome. Would definitely hire them again or recommend them."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

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.

No, a ditch isn’t a trench. A ditch is an open, relatively shallow channel that’s carved out of the ground and used for drainage purposes. In contrast, a trench is a deeper excavation that’s entirely underground. Trenches have many uses, including gas lines, sewage systems, and electrical wiring. Unlike trenches, ditches don’t get filled back in with dirt after they’re dug.

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

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.

Because decomposed granite is a durable material, a crushed rock or gravel base is optional as long as the DG is properly installed and compacted. However, installing a base is a good idea because it will ensure proper drainage and stability and act as a weed suppressant (although you may still occasionally have to pull weeds). Installing an adequate base can also increase the durability of driveways and walkways. If you forego the paver base or gravel underneath, line the area with landscaping fabric to avoid weeds.
