"Jerid Strasheim and S4 Excavation are a top-notch professional operation. We had them regrade and install Geocells on our old gravel driveway. They explained the process and costs very clearly, arrived at the time promised, worked diligently and made sure we were fully satisfied with the job before leaving. We would definitely hire them again."

"Chris Sumpter (owner) was the only company to respond to numerous calls I made for a landscape company. I was not sure what I needed on my new lot. Chris came to meet me and told me his equipment was not suited for my project. He spent time with me explaining what I needed. This saved me time and anxiety. I went out and bought my own tools and will start myself with what needs to be done. I am so grateful for his time and expertise during the busiest time of the year. What a nice person to work with! I highly recommend giving him because of his clarity and great attitude."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

Dumpsters work best on hard, study, and level surfaces made of asphalt, stone, or concrete. If the surface is uneven or too soft, the dumpster could get stuck or tip over when filled. Keep in mind that you must obtain a dumpster permit to keep it on a city street in many areas.

The best method for digging a trench depends on the scope of the project. For a short, shallow trench (less than 2 feet deep) in light, soft soil, digging by hand may be sufficient. However, digging by hand is labor-intensive, so consider the effort required. A machine trencher is the better option for longer trenches (over 100 feet), deeper ones, or when dealing with difficult soil conditions, such as rocky or hard ground, or obstructions like tree roots. A machine can save significant time and energy in these situations.

The best type of soil to build on is a mixture of sand and clay, known as loam soil. Loam soil has the best combination of these soil types to build a foundation on. The clay particles help with water retention, so it won’t erode like sandy soil might, and the sandy particles help with drainage, so you won’t see unsafe soil expansion or have an increased risk of leaks from water sitting against your foundation.

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.
