"C2G was excellent during the entire process. they had a quote to my in less than 24 hours and promptly answered my questions when I called them. Once I selected them they were able to schedule the job just a few days out and I could not have been more satisfied with the outcome. The two workers who did the job were knowledgeable and respectful. In over 20 years of home ownership I would have to say this was the best experience I ever had with a home contractor."

"Scott rebuilt my kitchen. Not only did he install all of my appliances, he also built me a breakfast nook. Tiles are flushed together making the surfaces smooth and easy to clean. He communicated with me through each process of renovations and addressed all of my concerns. He also built a drainage system through my yard and both at the top and bottom of my driveway to prevent flooding. If I ever had a question, he always had an answer."

Customers say: True professional

"Joe came to my parents' house to give us an estimate to trim bushes and trees and do an initial cleanup around the perimeter of the house. He was the first one to call me back. We discussed what we wanted done around the house. I also asked him to send me the pictures after he was done, since I wasn't going to be at my parents' house to see the results. He called a few days later to verify the appointment. He and his partner came on time and worked very hard trimming and cleaning up the yard as we discussed. My parents were very happy with the results of the trimming and cleanup. Joe sent me the pictures as I had asked because I wasn't there. They did a great job and my parents and I were very happy with their work. Joe is a very nice guy and followed through with everything we discussed. I am going to hire him again to clean up the yard in the Fall."

"When I bought my house, I had gardens and flowerbeds in the front yard that were in desperate need of attention. They were able to cut everything back, pull out the overgrown weeds, and replace the mulch. They did a great job and I will definitely be using them again."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

Septic drain lines (or leach lines) are typically buried between 18 and 36 inches underground, and should be at least 6 inches below the surface. These pipes are perforated and surrounded by filtering materials like sand or gravel. Burying the lines at this depth helps minimize odors and allows bacteria and other biological processes in the soil to effectively treat the wastewater. Burying lines too close to the surface can cause issues unless the soil is very compact and stable.

While you can save some money by digging your own pool, you may end up paying more in construction equipment rental fees in the long run. You could, however, focus your DIY energies on lowering the cost of leveling your lawn for your pool or filling in surrounding landscaping after construction.

Some two-in-one tools and machines do both jobs, and those could be the right solution for smaller residential projects. However, the phrase “use the right tool for the job” definitely applies to digging. For the best results, get two separate tools for your trenching and landscape edging projects or call a pro to take care of everything for you.

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.

The rules for trenching and excavation include setting up and following safety protocols, learning how to use tools and machines properly, and ensuring there is a safe exit for all workers. Keep heavy equipment and materials away from the edge of the hole or trench. Call the 811 dig line before starting any excavation or trenching project to ensure you don’t hit any electrical or gas lines.
