"Met with Mike from finest property maintenance to discuss some drainage & landscape ideas for my yard. Not only was he the best priced around but he was honest, he told me what he recommends and what I really didn't need. Talking with him he cut the fluff and extra sales pitch I felt with so many other companies and it really showed. Mike & his crew were dependable respectful of the property and neighbors and went above and beyond to make sure every single need on our list was met ! I highly recommend finest for any of your work, it's clear their knowledge spans across multiple trades and mike had some knowledge and recommendations for alot of my project!"

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

A joint utility trench, or joint trench, is a long, buried ditch on a property that contains two or more utility lines rather than running the lines in multiple trenches. Some utilities, like gas and electric or electric and communication lines, are better suited to joint trenching, while others, like water and sewer, are not allowed to be in the same trench.

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.

It can take several weeks for the ground to settle after removing a tree, and the soil under larger, more mature trees can take months. The deeper the tree has been ground under the soil, the longer it will take to settle. However, this extra depth can help you plant new landscaping sooner because you’ll have more space for fresh soil.

The best method for digging a trench depends on the scope of the project. For a short, shallow trench (less than 2 feet deep) in light, soft soil, digging by hand may be sufficient. However, digging by hand is labor-intensive, so consider the effort required. A machine trencher is the better option for longer trenches (over 100 feet), deeper ones, or when dealing with difficult soil conditions, such as rocky or hard ground, or obstructions like tree roots. A machine can save significant time and energy in these situations.

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