"They put in new drains and a dry well for our driveway, carport, and front yard. When the first dry well wasn't large enough to hold all the runoff from a heavy storm, they came back and added a second for free. Excellent customer service, very responsive, good work."

"Travis was great to work with from start to finish! He completed a project at my home on the Oregon Coast, which involved a heavy duty cleanup of my backyard and the creation of an RV parking space. I especially appreciated the detailed and thorough estimate before the work was done. I'm very happy with the results, my backyard is completely transformed and exactly what I expected. I'd highly recommend!"

"From estimate to hire there was great communication. The price was a bit higher than other estimates but I'm glad I chose this company. They painted the fascia boards on my two-story multi-level home and did a great job."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

You can dig 60 to 80 linear feet by hand per day depending on the depth. Digging a 100-foot trench by hand will take you two work days, but it can take longer if you have heavy or rocky soil. If you’re digging a deep trench or one that’s over 100 feet, consider renting a mechanical trencher, such as a walk-behind or ride-on, or calling a pro for help. 

There are several different factors that influence how long it takes to excavate. For a foundation, it could take anywhere from three days to three weeks. It can take even longer if you face weather-related delays or an inaccessible site that’s riddled with boulders and rough terrain. It may also take longer if you have clay soil, which is more difficult to dig.

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.

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.

Preparation involves site assessment, clearing debris, grading surfaces, and compacting soil to support stable construction.
