"The crew was friendly and helpful. They worked with me to make sure the system of French drains I had put in worked for me and the regrading work was amazing. At first i had thought i might be able to do it my self, but the amount of clay in the soil made that impossible, but A+ Equipment Services made easy work of it and got it done quickly."

"Josh and his crew from Mr. Miller Concrete did a fantastic job of removing our 20x40 inground pool. The communication was great and the entire crew was extremely nice and did all that we requested. Although the work was delayed due to weather they were excellent, and I would highly recommend them."

Small jobs welcome

"First, we appreciate working with young entrepreneurs. Ty was exceptional. His quote exceeded above the others. There was no need to go back and worth.. We didn’t have the time or desire to do so with his competitors. Ty updated us each step along the way. They were polite/respectful, and punctual, They removed the pine tree, filled the hole and removed all remaining branches. We could not be happier. Finding young, reliable people can be stressful but not with Ty. We will certainly recommend him to family and friends. We understand his scope of services and will not hesitate to use him again, if needed. It’s most unfortunate I cannot upload before and after. If there’s another way, please advise."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Water lines are buried at various depths, depending on the type of line. For example, most sprinkler lines are buried between four and 12 inches underground. On the other hand, water mains usually sit between one and 3 feet below ground. However, they can go even deeper in cold climates to prevent freezing.

Yes, trenchers can go through gravel. Gravel is made up of smaller, softer rocks that certain trenchers are able to cut through. Just be sure to use a rock wheel trencher or chain trencher, both of which are made to cut through rocky landscapes and gravel pathways without dulling the teeth or chain.

Directional drilling is complex and requires training to use the advanced machinery. It can be challenging to monitor the position of the drill since there’s no direct line of sight. Directional drilling can also be more expensive with a cost of $10 to $30 per linear foot compared to $5 to $12 per linear foot for trenching. 

There are many ways to cut through roots when digging, especially if your trencher doesn’t seem to be removing the roots. First, use a shovel to expose the roots. Then, use gardening shears to clear out smaller roots or a reciprocating saw to remove larger plant roots. If you plan on keeping the plant, avoid cutting any roots over 2 inches thick.

A perc test can take anywhere from one to eight hours to complete. The total time depends on factors like the amount of excavation required, the depth and width of the holes, and whether multiple test holes are needed. For a single hole, the process of filling it with water and monitoring the drainage rate usually takes less than an hour. Professionals can often complete the entire test in a single day. While it's possible to get results the same day, some companies may take a few days to provide the official report.
