Customers say: True professional

"The crew were very courteous and hard working. They wanted to make sure I was happy with the design and end product. Chris knew all the plants, having a nursery background, and James designed the water feature. I couldnâ t be happier with how it all turned out, and everyone that comes to my home says it looks like a park. Even the owner of the company says itâ s the best yard space theyâ ve done. Outstanding!"

"Greg is great. This was a 120 foot retaining wall project. Like any excavation project, this one had a surprise or two. Greg handled them with no problem at all, and took extra time to make sure all the work was done properly. I'm now looking around to see what else I can have him do on my property. I would highly recommend him."

"My husband and I are first timers on house building. Chirs, Brian, and Shayne were amazing at their jobs. I can't say enough good things about the job they did for us. The property was a blank slate. Nothing had been done to it. WIthin 2 days the trees were down and gone on a 78 x 150 lot. Next came the stump removal and grinding. More machinery was brought in to clear up the floor of the house pad and begin bringing in rock. They put in a 20 ' culvert and 30 ft long driveway. All the while being respectful of the trees we wanted left standing. Great people. Great job. For all of the work they did I thought their bid was fair. Thank you again Outer Limits! L & W"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

A joint utility trench, or joint trench, is a long, buried ditch on a property that contains two or more utility lines rather than running the lines in multiple trenches. Some utilities, like gas and electric or electric and communication lines, are better suited to joint trenching, while others, like water and sewer, are not allowed to be in the same trench.

It’s possible to transplant trees as tall as 50 feet when an experienced tree planting service uses the right equipment. However, a tree with a trunk larger than two or three inches in diameter needs to be handled by a professional in order to yield successful transplanting results. Consulting a tree planting professional is the best way to tell if your large tree can be safely transplanted.

Trenching and boring are two distinct methods for installing underground utilities. Trenching involves digging a channel using equipment like an excavator, trencher, backhoe, or shovel. While it is a simpler process, it causes significant disruption to the surface, landscaping, and surrounding ecosystems.

Boring, also known as directional boring, is a less invasive alternative that uses a drill to create a tunnel for utility lines without disturbing the surface. This method is more precise and is ideal for installations that need to go underneath buildings, roads, or bodies of water. Although boring is less disruptive, it is generally more expensive than trenching.

You can bury underground electrical wire six inches deep—but only if you use a rigid metal electrical conduit. For rigid, non-metallic conduits, bury the wire at least 12 inches deep. If using an underground feeder cable rated for direct burial, you'll need to place it at least 18 inches deep, as it has no conduit for extra protection.

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.
