"Spoke to several contractors about removing 60+-year-old trees due to circumstances out of our control that created a quick deadline for completion. Two of the trees were in a very difficult location with power lines above. Randy not only responded quickly to our call for a bid, but also was professional, knowledgeable, and honest about the project. We knew immediately he was the one to hire. The crew was professional, respectful and did a great job throughout the weeklong project. Despite complications and weather, they continued to handle themselves professionally and completed the project as promised. We would highly recommend them to anyone needing any type of work on their trees or property. We have used other tree services in the past and have been disappointed every time. I would tell anyone needing trees trimmed or removed, don't mess around with anyone else, call Northern Nevada Construction, LLC. also know as Mountain G.E.M. Services. It will be the smartest move you can make. Your project will be completed as bid, cost you less than other companies, will be completed as you wanted and they clean up the debris.

Excavating questions, answered by experts

A walk-behind trencher can cut through roots as long as they’re not too thick, making a project much easier than digging with a shovel and other hand tools. Assess your terrain and the number of trees in the surrounding area to determine if a walk-behind trencher will ease the job. Digging a trench by hand is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive. 

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

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.

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even for projects that only involve grading or yard leveling. Permit requirements depend on your local government and the scope of the project, but they are especially common for significant digging or work that could affect utilities or public property. These permits help protect the local topography and prevent drainage issues. An experienced excavation company will typically know whether permits are needed and can often handle the process of pulling and closing them for you. You can also verify permit requirements by contacting your local building department and describing your project.

In the United States, a depth of 36 inches (three feet) for underground water lines is the accepted industry standard. This depth varies from location to location based on local conditions. In areas with colder winters, they may be buried deeper to prevent frozen well water pipes : This is usually at least six inches below the frost level. The International Plumbing Code calls for a minimum of 12 inches below grade.
