"I canâ t express how grateful I am for having worked with Yeet Excavating. I had issues with water leaking into my basement and decided to give them a call. FINALLY a company that even answers their calls! Right from the start they were very kind, professional and informative. They gave me the rundown of why my basement was leaking, explained the process, told me when they could come out, how long the process would take and guess what? They didnâ t miss a beat! They came out and installed drainage around my foundation, backfilled the dirt and finished the grade. They were able to get it done efficiently and quickly as promised. I love how prompt and accurate they were along with their professionalism and customer service (hard to find these days!) I want to thank them for everything and I figured writing a review is the least I can do. I will continue to use them for any future issues and recommend them to anyone and everyone. Thank you Yeet and keep up the good work!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

It all depends on the scope of the project. A trencher can certainly save time and energy, but you might not need to dig that deep in the first place. Aside from the depth of the trench, the quality of the soil matters. If it’s light, soft soil, you might try a shovel first. However, if the soil is rocky and hard or there are obstructions in it, like tree roots, a machine trencher might be the better option.

Trenches are 12 to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, the right depth for your trench will depend on the nature of your project. For example, if you’re digging a trench as part of a French drain installation, it should be 18 inches deep. An excavation professional can explain how deep your trench should be.

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. 

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.

Professional installers often include a deep layer of crushed gravel under permeable pavers to allow more runoff to soak through into the soil below. Many installations will include multiple layers of gravel, with coarser aggregate at the base and finer aggregate that sits on top of that bottom layer. Above the gravel, you’ll often find coarse sand that helps reduce paver shifting over time. Some permeable paver designs include a water collection system set into the gravel layer to route runoff to a safe area for disposal.
