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.

Prior to excavation, you should prepare the dig site and call 311 before you sign anything.

To get your site ready for excavation, you should move anything in the area that isn’t affixed to the land. You can save money on the excavation by removing hardscaping, including walkways, decks, concrete patios, and paver patios.

Before you carry out any digging, you should call 311 to confirm that there are no utility lines running through your excavation site. Skipping this step could lead to severe injury and property damage if your excavator hits a water, sewage, or gas line.

You should dig 3 to 6 inches deep for plastic edging. Dig as wide as you need to fit your plastic edging into it—2 inches is usually sufficient.

While general contractors sometimes handle demolition, you can also look specifically for local demolition contractors. Demolition experts need to understand structural integrity, the equipment needed for safe demolition, and the permits required for demolition.

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.
