"It took two days to complete the entire job. They were on time, brought all necessary equipment, stone, piping, grass seed, etc. They were very hard working and professional. Their equipment was in excellent condition and they were definitely expert at using it! The price was reasonable for the amount of warm done and equipment needed. I’m very happy with the results!"

"I have been dealing with RJ Lawn and Landscape for almost 2 years now. I Signed a contract with RJ in January of 2022, for a patio surrounding an inground pool, small deck from the door to the patio, landscaping, fence and fire pit. This project was supposed to be completed in October/November of 2022. RJ did not complete this project in 2022, and now in November of 2023 it is still not completed because RJ has walked away from the job without any notice. He has simply stopped returning calls/texts/emails. He left me with over $9,500 in work paid for and not completed, that I am now working to try to recover through legal action. His work is unprofessional. He completely botched the concrete pour he did in June 2023 and had to paver stone over the brand-new concrete because of how badly he messed it up. I tried to be patient with him as the project timeline got pushed back repeatedly. I tried to be patient when his shoddy and rushed work had to continually be redone. However, it is completely unacceptable to cut off all communication when work has been paid for and not completed. RJ is unethical, unprofessional, and untrustworthy. BEWARE!!!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Trenching is not the same as boring. Boring uses a drill to make a tunnel for underground utilities, but trenching involves digging with an excavator, trencher, backhoe, or shovel. Boring is more precise and expensive, and it’s best for installing utilities underneath buildings, roads, and bodies of water. Trenching is simpler but can cause more disruption to landscaping and ecosystems.

Downspouts should be buried at least 5 to 10 feet away from your foundation. This can vary depending on your local building codes, soil type, and property slope. The main goal is to ensure water is directed away from your foundation.

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.

The average cost of excavation is around $3,200. Most jobs fall somewhere between $500 and $15,000, depending on the amount of soil to remove, whether or not there are landscaping features or structures in the vicinity that could complicate the excavation, and the quality and contents of the soil. Larger jobs will naturally cost more, as will those in tight spaces that demand manual excavation as opposed to using heavy machinery. Hard soil and tree roots can also extend the job and drive up your labor costs.

Trenching is a specific kind of digging. Trenching means digging a depression in the earth that’s deeper than it is wide, often with heavy machinery. Digging refers to any kind of removal of earth in order to create a human-made depression, hole, or cut in the earth’s surface. You can dig with big tools or even with just a hand shovel.
