"I had yard damage from a vehicle that got stuck in my yard after the snow melt. Another vehicle got stuck trying to pull the first vehicle out and finally the tow truck got stuck. My yard looked like a mud pit from the front to the back. I contacted three companies and Trindel Brothers was the only response. I also had them give me an estimate for two retaining walls to mitigate water from my back porch. The price was fair and the work was excellent. I'd hire them again."

"Call Armold & Son Excavation before anyone else. Amazing business integrity, experience, and heart. Mr. & Mrs. Armold saved me when they said Yes, at an affordable cost, after 3 other advertised plumbers said no. This was a monumental size job, while also being the smallest work space. 40 feet in length of concrete, brick, & marble slabs, covered the bad sewer line, by a width of slightly more than a wheelbarrow. Which translates into there isn't enough access for any machinery on my property. So Ron Armold did all of the manual labor from beginning to completion. Thanks again!"

"I needed a rather major swale added to both my property and my neighbors property to divert significant stormwater that occurs during intense storms. I had a shed and garden structure in the way which they easily made disappear. After dealing with a major sewage backup when we got hit with the runoff , I feel crazy that I'm excited to see heavy rain and for this swale work. These guys are professional and I consider experts in their field. All that and a great price to boot. I highly recommend them any excavation project large or small. Derek Himes"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Sewer lines can be buried anywhere from 18 inches to 8 feet deep, with a common average depth between 18 and 30 inches. The exact depth depends on local factors like climate and soil type. In colder regions, pipes must be buried deeper (below the frost line) to prevent freezing, sometimes as deep as 8 feet. The digging depth can also impact the cost of sewer line replacement. To find the specific depth for your property, you can check the building plans for your system, which should be on file with your city or local sanitation department since permits are required for installation.

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.

Excavation and grading are both generally necessary for designing your foundation, and leveling the ground where your foundation will go. These steps can also prepare the area by removing vegetation and anything else that could interfere with your home’s foundation.

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.

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.
