"they came up to give me an estimate and once we agreed on the estimate we setup a time for the next day to fix the busted pipe and change the valve due to being so close to the busted area of the pipe. they showed up on time and after the fix they made sure the pipe was not leaking. they were professional, courteous, punctal and reasonably priced. I recommend them to anyone and will definitely call on them again if needed to."

"I have had an awful time getting my lawn done since my lawnmower broke. I have had 3 separate men and do my yard, each one was a disaster! I remembered angies list off of and ad and called. Paul call within 10 minutes and set a time to come and give me a quote on doing my yard. I agreed to price and he came with his crew the next day. They went far and beyond what I expected. So much so I have them coming back to do deep shrubbery cutting and flower bed clean up. I have also set up for them to start lawn maintenance for a year. Highly recommended them, they will not disappoint."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Maintain open communication and address issues as they arise, ensuring contract terms cover potential delays.

Trenching and boring are two distinct methods for installing underground utilities. Trenching involves digging a channel using equipment like an excavator, trencher, backhoe, or shovel. While it is a simpler process, it causes significant disruption to the surface, landscaping, and surrounding ecosystems.

Boring, also known as directional boring, is a less invasive alternative that uses a drill to create a tunnel for utility lines without disturbing the surface. This method is more precise and is ideal for installations that need to go underneath buildings, roads, or bodies of water. Although boring is less disruptive, it is generally more expensive than trenching.

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. 

There is no standard depth for burying a septic tank; they are typically buried anywhere from 4 inches to 4 feet underground. The final depth depends on several factors, including the depth of your main sewer line, the height of the bedrock, soil type, local regulations, and the property's landscape. If you plan to grow grass or plants over the tank, a depth of at least 4 to 6 inches is recommended. Deeper tanks can be more difficult to locate, but a septic professional can help find it for you.

Depth is not a qualifying component of evacuation. Any human-made cut, cavity, or depression in the earth’s surface is considered excavation. The hole from excavation can be any size, shape, or depth. Excavation is used to create foundations, reservoirs, drainage ditches, and roads. Long, narrow excavations are called trenches and are often used for underground utilities.
