"They responded quickly, came out to assess the project and provide an estimate within a few days. Once I agreed to the estimate, my project was completed the following week. I was especially impressed by their service considering my project was not hugeâ ¦..just repairing a pre-existing stone wall. I had received calls from other contractors who werenâ t interested in a small project."

"Outstanding work by Kevin in a backyard tear out and redo of landscaping with new plantings, restoring and rebuilding pavers and repairing a French drain. Rebuilt our front porch as well. Total confidence in his choice of plantings and his work quality. One of the hardest working professionals I have met, always polite and focused on customer service. Punctuality, attention to detail and professionalism sets his work above others. Pricing is excellent."

Excavating FAQs, 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. 

You can bury underground electrical wire six inches deep—but only if you use a rigid metal electrical conduit. For rigid, non-metallic conduits, bury the wire at least 12 inches deep. If using an underground feeder cable rated for direct burial, you'll need to place it at least 18 inches deep, as it has no conduit for extra protection.

The easier way to find buried sprinkler lines is to use the plan from the professionals who installed the system. If you don’t have professional plans, listen for running water on your lawn when you turn on the system. You may also spot wet areas, giving you an idea of where the heads are. Once you find the sprinkler heads, you’ll likely be able to connect the dots between them, revealing the system below.

Generally, a trenchless sewer line is worth the cost. If your old system needs replacement, trenchless sewer repair or replacement can save you thousands on excavation costs. Every homeowner’s situation is different, but this method is definitely worth it in a lot of cases.

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.
