Customers say: Super punctual
"I needed a new control station for my Rainbird sprinkler system. I had seen Judson Irrigation vehicles around so figured they were a satisfactory firm so arranged for them to come out. On 7/9/21 they came out and checked my sprinklers out and replaced one head. They also replaced my indoor Rainbird control for 6 stations with a combo indoor/outdoor board when I only needed an indoor controller. I received a bill from them for $177 for labor (not broken down on the bill). Inn calling them this included a $58 service call; a charge of $87 for ¾ of an hour billed at a rate of $116 per hour for the main service person; and $32 for the second person billed for a half hour at $64 an hour. The $116 an hour figures out to $4,640 gross for a week. We all wish we had wages like that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The bill showed $332.92 for materials before tax which per their office included $252.89 for the controller; $76.58 for a module; and $3.45 for a new sprinkler head. Based on limited research, likely a cheaper source of parts is available. Likely if one is going to replace a Rainbird Sprinkler control station, one should get bids to do the project. I would not recommend Judson Irrigation for sprinkler work particularly based on their high labor charges!!!."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Excavations take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time it takes to excavate an area depends on the size of the area, the type of soil, the type of excavator, and even the time of year, since winter can make digging up the ground more difficult.

Preparation involves site assessment, clearing debris, grading surfaces, and compacting soil to support stable construction.

A mini excavator can dig between 5 and 11 feet deep, depending on the type and size of the mini excavator. Mini hydraulic excavators are more powerful and can reach deeper into the earth, but electric models have a more limited range. Mini excavators over two tons in size are also more powerful and able to dig as deep as 11 feet.

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.

Excavation and grading are both generally necessary for designing your foundation, and leveling the ground where your foundation will go. These steps can also prepare the area by removing vegetation and anything else that could interfere with your home’s foundation.
