"I really appreciated the great excavation and fill work that Roland Gagnon did for me. This was a driveway drainage project that required low spot filling and proper grading of the area. The driveway now has the proper slope and is draining properly. Roland went above and beyond my expectations, he will be my first call for any future work."

"I hired Four Trees to do fall clean up at our property in Farmington. Matt from Four Trees was great to work with. He came within a couple of days to review the property and provide an estimate. He explained the considerations that factored into the estimate clearly, i.e., property abutting a lake, sloped land, fencelines on both sides with rock walls, etc. He responded quickly to all questions and was able to work with me to find a comfortable price point. I needed the job done within the week and they came through. The professional and friendly crew did a very thorough clean up and the yard looks fantastic! Definitely will hire again."

"We contacted Carl Campbell who met with us within a few days of our call.? Carl was professional, detailed and listened to our suggestions.? Carl also provided us with ideas on how to make the patio look and feel more like it was part of the landscape.? Carl is also very knowledgeable about the permit process for both the town as well as the wetlands and zoning.? Carl also sent us information on pavers and designs.? Once the final details were in place, the patio was completed within two days.? I would highly recommend Carl and his crew and will use them again in the future."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

The rules for trenching and excavation include setting up and following safety protocols, learning how to use tools and machines properly, and ensuring there is a safe exit for all workers. Keep heavy equipment and materials away from the edge of the hole or trench. Call the 811 dig line before starting any excavation or trenching project to ensure you don’t hit any electrical or gas lines.

Digging out a basement takes anywhere from a few days to a few months. Most projects take at least two to five weeks, but it could take several months if you encounter obstacles. This project takes longer if you need to brace or raise your home before the excavation. Digging out a basement in new construction can take as little as three days.

Maintain open communication and address issues as they arise, ensuring contract terms cover potential delays.

Trenches are typically 12 to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, the required depth depends on the specific project and local ordinances. For example, a French drain may need to be 18 inches deep, while a water pipe might require a depth of 24 inches and a drainage pipe 36 inches. Your city or county may have specific regulations, so it's wise to consult with an excavation professional to determine the correct depth for your project.

Depending on the severity of the freeze and the method used, thawing frozen underground pipes can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours. Applying heat directly to the pipe using heat tape, infrared lamps, or hot water jetting can speed up the process. However, patience and careful monitoring are key to avoiding pipe damage.
