Enhancing your Environment L.S. Construction - Gardens - Trees - Terrain - Patios - Water features - Outdoor kitchens - Fire pits - Ponds

"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

It takes one hour to dig a 10-foot trench by hand. Use a trenching shovel with a sharp tip and a long head. Plan for more time if your soil is heavy or rocky. Consider renting a trencher if you’re digging a long or deep trench or if you have challenging soil or terrain. 

To locate an underground downspout, you should start by identifying where the above ground gutter drains. Look for an entry point, such as a pipe or elbow leading into the ground. Follow the surface path for signs like depressions, landscaping disruptions, or wet areas after rain. You can use a metal detector or plumber’s snake to trace the pipe underground. For deeper pipes, a professional locator tool or camera inspection may be necessary. Visual markers or utility maps can also guide the search.

Most states do not require excavation companies to hold specific licenses, but many require at least a contractor’s license. Additionally, heavy equipment operators require a special commercial equipment license to operate machinery required for excavation. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to confirm that an excavation company you’re considering hiring is fully licensed. You should also make sure that the excavation team is fully insured before allowing them to work on your property.

Trenches are typically 12 inches to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, your city or county may have specific ordinances that clarify the dimensions needed for the project. For instance, a water pipe may need to be 24 inches deep, but a drainage pipe may need to be 36 inches deep.

Excavations take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time it takes to excavate an area depends on the size of the area, the type of soil, the type of excavator, and even the time of year, since winter can make digging up the ground more difficult.
