"Worst experience and lack of professionalism ever. Never seen such poor quality of work. Two month job took almost 7 months. Never came back to my house to fill hole they left under foundation where rodents gained access or return the gravel back there. Used the wrong materials on grading the roads so they're already sinking. Ruined my driveway. Scraped away the stone dust and crushed stone to gain access to side yard. Every time it rains, cheap road sand pours into my driveway, further eroding it, and draining several inches of this sand into my flower beds. Apparently, the $300 it would cost Jake to come back and return the driveway to its original state, is just not important enough to him. I hope it ends up costing him his reputation because I plan on leaving reviews everywhere including social media. Maybe you'll learn something from this experience."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock.

It all depends on the scope of the project. A trencher can certainly save time and energy, but you might not need to dig that deep in the first place. Aside from the depth of the trench, the quality of the soil matters. If it’s light, soft soil, you might try a shovel first. However, if the soil is rocky and hard or there are obstructions in it, like tree roots, a machine trencher might be the better option.

Yes, you can excavate in the winter, but it might make the job harder. Frozen ground is harder to dig, and snow or ice can make the work site more hazardous. A contractor may need special equipment and techniques, such as ground-thawing methods, to break through frozen soil. Although winter excavation is possible, it may take longer and be more costly than excavating during warmer months.

The answer may vary based on where you live. Residential sewer lines are generally buried 5 feet to 6 feet under the ground. However, it's not uncommon to see pipes buried as deep as 8 feet in colder climates in order to ensure that piping is placed below the freeze line. Digging depth could impact your sewer line replacement cost.

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