"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."

"Aaron and his crew did a great job. Extremely pleased with the quality of their work. Had 12 pine trees taken down. Had Aaron spread top soil and seed. So far a week and 1/2 later we have grass. I would not hesitate to recommend Aaron for your next landscaping project. Pictures to follow"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.

Consultation with the local government helps identify necessary permits, avoid project delays or legal issues, and protect project integrity.

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.

Excavation is priced in cubic yards, so you’ll need to find the volume of the area in order to calculate costs. Multiply the length, width, and proposed depth of your excavation site, then convert it into yards to get the volume. Multiply this figure by the price per cubic yard.

Most homeowners can measure by hand to get a rough estimate, even if it’s tedious. You may want to pull out a tape measure or use a string to help mark the area.

A mini excavator can dig between 5 and 11 feet deep, depending on the type and size of the mini excavator. Mini hydraulic excavators are more powerful and can reach deeper into the earth, but electric models have a more limited range. Mini excavators over two tons in size are also more powerful and able to dig as deep as 11 feet.
