"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pana Landscaping did an outstanding job! They removed several rose bushes, planted a beautiful weeping cherry tree, and added stone around my front lawn, under my back porch steps, and other areas of my property. The crew arrived early, was professional, courteous, and got right to work. They even improved a few areas we hadn't discussed, which exceeded my expectations. Excellent workmanship and attention to detail. I highly recommend Pana Landscaping!"

"Overall they did a good job with a spring cleanup and mulch. I had specifically asked for edging to be done and some overflowing mulch to be removed along a walkway so mulch does not spill out onto the sidewalk. This was not done. The workers also cut down 5 hydrangea bushes that had buds on them. I emailed about this and never heard back."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can excavate in the winter, but it might make the job harder. Frozen ground is harder to dig, and snow or ice can make the work site more hazardous. A contractor may need special equipment and techniques, such as ground-thawing methods, to break through frozen soil. Although winter excavation is possible, it may take longer and be more costly than excavating during warmer months.

The digging depth will depend on the size of the trencher you use. Even smaller units can dig up to 4 feet deep, which is plenty for a DIY job. However, much larger trenchers can reach a depth of 18 feet and are better used by a team of pro contractors, not a single DIYer. As with all home improvement projects, use the right tool for the job and proceed with caution.

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

A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock.

In the United States, a depth of 36 inches (three feet) for underground water lines is the accepted industry standard. This depth varies from location to location based on local conditions. In areas with colder winters, they may be buried deeper to prevent frozen well water pipes : This is usually at least six inches below the frost level. The International Plumbing Code calls for a minimum of 12 inches below grade.
