"My. Husband and I had a great experience hiring Rocklynn. We needed an old concrete garage floor taken up and hauled away. We spoke to Joe who came over on the same day and gave us a quote. 2 days later Rocklynn was here with an excavator and it was done in less than 2 hrs. Excellent customer service. The quote was fair and it wasnâ t a penny more. We will definitely hire the company again in the future."

"We hired the Davis remodeling company in June to rid our property of a tremendous amount of yard debris. Larnell was quick to respond and came out promptly for an estimate. He did an amazing job, which was not easy on an extremely hot day! Estimate was reasonable and would definitely recommend! He is also a very nice and professional person!"

"I requested several estimates for a V300 white board fence, 88 feet long and 13 feet high. The quotes were: Great Valley Fence (ACE) at $3,900, Ergeon at $4,500, and Peralta?s Total Services at $6,415.20. Ergeon was very responsive and provided an estimate via Zoom the same day. Peralta and Great Valley Fence both visited my property in person, which I appreciated. I later decided to go with a hunter green V300 fence, but Ergeon didn?t offer that color, and Great Valley Fence quoted nearly double for a different color option. Since Peralta?s estimate was already the highest for white, I didn?t pursue that further. I was leaning toward Great Valley Fence due to their lower price, but I requested a 6- to 12-inch gap from the ground to help clear weeds between the old and new fence. It seems they weren?t able to meet that request and never followed up. Overall, I appreciated the effort from each company and plan to seek new estimates again in spring 2026."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.

A perc test can take anywhere from one to eight hours to complete. The total time depends on factors like the amount of excavation required, the depth and width of the holes, and whether multiple test holes are needed. For a single hole, the process of filling it with water and monitoring the drainage rate usually takes less than an hour. Professionals can often complete the entire test in a single day. While it's possible to get results the same day, some companies may take a few days to provide the official report.

Trenches are typically 12 to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, the required depth depends on the specific project and local ordinances. For example, a French drain may need to be 18 inches deep, while a water pipe might require a depth of 24 inches and a drainage pipe 36 inches. Your city or county may have specific regulations, so it's wise to consult with an excavation professional to determine the correct depth for your project.

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.
