"Mr. Lown did a great job trenching my yard for sprinkler install. He went above and beyond to help me and not damage anything. I will be using Lown Performance again in the near future."

"I cannot express enough how impressed I am with this company. Andrew and Midlands Home Renovations LLC are the ones you want to trust with your home. He could have taken shortcuts, but instead, he went above and beyond for my family and our home. Andrew is a family man and an exceptional contractor. He supported me and my family through a challenging time when our home suffered damages due to a small leaking shower valve. What's more, I was out of town on business while my wife and family were at home. Andrew promptly opened the flooring, assessed the damages, identified the source of our problems, and resolved them. He even discovered a pipe that a previous contractor assured me was fixed, yet it was still leaking under our home. Although it was not within the scope of work he initially signed up for, Andrew still fixed it to ensure there were no further leaks under our home. With over 10 years of experience in marketing and previous experience as a construction worker, I know the ins and outs of business and the effort involved. Trust me when I say THIS COMPANY IS THE ONE YOU WANT! Andrew, on behalf of my entire family, we sincerely thank you and your company for the outstanding work done. Great job, guys. We look forward to doing much more business with this company in the very near future."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

A joint utility trench, or joint trench, is a long, buried ditch on a property that contains two or more utility lines rather than running the lines in multiple trenches. Some utilities, like gas and electric or electric and communication lines, are better suited to joint trenching, while others, like water and sewer, are not allowed to be in the same trench.

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.

Dumpsters work best on hard, study, and level surfaces made of asphalt, stone, or concrete. If the surface is uneven or too soft, the dumpster could get stuck or tip over when filled. Keep in mind that you must obtain a dumpster permit to keep it on a city street in many areas.

The rules for trenching and excavation include setting up and following safety protocols, learning how to use tools and machines properly, and ensuring there is a safe exit for all workers. Keep heavy equipment and materials away from the edge of the hole or trench. Call the 811 dig line before starting any excavation or trenching project to ensure you don’t hit any electrical or gas lines.
