"I highly recommend Lawton Land Management! They cleared branches and brush from our yard quickly and did an outstanding job. From the first message, they were incredibly responsive and had us scheduled within 24 hours. The work was completed efficiently, and they were respectful, courteous, and professional throughout the entire process. It’s hard to find a company that’s this reliable and easy to work with. We will definitely use them again for future projects!"

"Don and his workers were amazing. I was hit very suddenly last year with a chronic illness and can no longer carry anything heavy and I have extreme reactions to any sort of mold or allergen. With my fiancee working mandatory overtime for the last 7 months, our trash had built to a level where we couldn't catch up. Don and two workers came in and not only cleared out all of the trash bags on our porch, but also bagged up stuff from the house, and took old furniture that we've been trying to figure out how to get out to the curb for months. In less than 2 hours, they completed something that had been hanging over our heads for almost a year. It feels amazing! Don's customer service went above and beyond as well. He came and did a free estimate a couple days before the cleanup where we showed him everything that needed done. When he arrived with his crew, he double checked with me to make sure it was all still the same, and when they finished, he took my fiancee from room to room asking if they had removed everything we wanted him to rather than just telling us he'd finished up. He even sprayed Febreze on the porch for us. I 100% recommend D&J Excavating for any kind of trash, junk, or appliance removal. The pricing was reasonable, the service was quick and efficient, and Don made sure we were fully happy with the job."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

No, you typically cannot use metal detectors to find your sewer line. Most sewer lines are made of non-metallic materials such as PVC, clay, or cast iron, which are not detectable by standard metal detectors. Metal detectors are designed to locate metallic objects, so they won't be effective for identifying the path of a non-metallic sewer line. To locate your sewer line accurately, it's best to use other methods.

Yes, you can install a trench drain if you already have concrete in your yard or garden. While it can complicate some aspects of the job and slightly run up the cost, it is doable. Residential trench drains can be easily retrofitted to outdoor areas with concrete without having to remove excessive amounts of your patio, pool area, or decorative walkways.

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.

No, a ditch isn’t a trench. A ditch is an open, relatively shallow channel that’s carved out of the ground and used for drainage purposes. In contrast, a trench is a deeper excavation that’s entirely underground. Trenches have many uses, including gas lines, sewage systems, and electrical wiring. Unlike trenches, ditches don’t get filled back in with dirt after they’re dug.

You can bury underground electrical wire six inches deep—but only if you use a rigid metal electrical conduit. For rigid, non-metallic conduits, bury the wire at least 12 inches deep. If using an underground feeder cable rated for direct burial, you'll need to place it at least 18 inches deep, as it has no conduit for extra protection.
