"We contracted Jacobs to excavate around a pool install from last August; our yard was a mess with trenches and mounds of dirt/sand left behind from the pool install. He offered practical solutions and delivered as promised. He did an awesome job and we will definitely have him back for the next phase of our pool project. He was professional and pleasant to deal with and we highly recommend Jacobs Plumbing.& Excavating!"

"We used Thorpe Site Solutions for a big land clearing project and I was blown away by the results. Harry handled everything with his Bobcat like a pro — he cleared brush, leveled the ground, and even hauled away all the debris with their dump trailer. Fast, clean, and efficient. If you need land cleared, this is the team to call!!"

"I am extremely pleased with the efficiency & short amount time it took for O I Landscaping to clean up an out of control weed growth on side of my house & the overgrown wild bushes growing between my & my neighbors fences. They also removed ALL the debris. I am more than satisfied with the results. I would recommend them to anyone looking for yard cleanup or other challenges you may have in your yard."

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.

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.

Yes, professional installations include trenching or borehole drilling required for ground loops.

A walk-behind trencher can cut through roots as long as they’re not too thick, making a project much easier than digging with a shovel and other hand tools. Assess your terrain and the number of trees in the surrounding area to determine if a walk-behind trencher will ease the job. Digging a trench by hand is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive. 

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.
