Customers say: Quick response

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Hudson Valley Landscaping & Drainage to address a persistent flooding issue in my homeâ s crawl space, and Iâ m very glad I did. Marc, the owner, demonstrated an impressive level of attention to detail, thoroughly assessed the problem, and considered both short-term solutions and long-term prevention. The work progressed swiftly. Marc and his team were punctual, arriving exactly when they said they would. Their efficiency allowed us to get back to normalcy sooner than expected. After resolving the drainage problem, I was very pleased with how beautifully they restored the affected yard space. The landscaping work was perfect. I really appreciated the dialogue about options that resulted in the thoughtful placement of plants. Itâ s like our yard got a makeover! Throughout the project, the crew maintained its professionalism. Itâ s refreshing to work with a team that takes pride in their craft and treats your home respectfully. We have already discussed what future projects are possible. And, after the recent rain storms we just had, that crawl space is as dry as a bone. If youâ re seeking a reliable, skilled team for landscaping and drainage work, look no further. Hudson Valley Landscaping & Drainage delivers exceptional results. I wholeheartedly recommend them!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

Depth is not a qualifying component of evacuation. Any human-made cut, cavity, or depression in the earth’s surface is considered excavation. The hole from excavation can be any size, shape, or depth. Excavation is used to create foundations, reservoirs, drainage ditches, and roads. Long, narrow excavations are called trenches and are often used for underground utilities.

Yes, you can technically make a crawl space liveable, but the only way to do so is by converting it into a basement. While some crawl spaces are big enough to walk through and store large items, they lack appropriate insulation and space to be liveable.
