"We cannot say enough great things about Paul Sr and Paul Jr! They were such a pleasure to work with. We had a vision and with their experience were able to make it happen. We hired them for grass, all landscaping (including palm's!!!), lights, mulch, irrigation, drainage, dry creek, rock beds and patio pavers. Everything they did was done to perfection. They felt like family at the end and I know we will be hiring them again for some other smaller landscaping projects. Don't look at anyone else, hire P&M!!!"

"We had to have all the sewer/drain lines replaced under our concrete slab. After the plumbing company finished their work, Jose and his team removed the excess dirt in the trenches, placed crushed stone, and poured 4" of concrete in about 30 feet of trenches. They cleaned up everything after they were done. Very pleased with Jose and his teamn."

"Joel is a consummate professional who cares about the client and about the work. He doesn't stop until the job is complete and the client 110% satisfied! Clearing land and moving trees around a family home that needed dirt brought in, built up, leveled off and trees moved to ensure that water flows away from the house and that there is a pleasing space around the home. A man of integrity, good will, and a great sense of humor! And he cleans up! More than a fair price. We're sharing his name with everyone we know."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Excavation and grading are both generally necessary for designing your foundation, and leveling the ground where your foundation will go. These steps can also prepare the area by removing vegetation and anything else that could interfere with your home’s foundation.

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.

Directional drilling is complex and requires training to use the advanced machinery. It can be challenging to monitor the position of the drill since there’s no direct line of sight. Directional drilling can also be more expensive with a cost of $10 to $30 per linear foot compared to $5 to $12 per linear foot for trenching. 

Sewer lines can be buried anywhere from 18 inches to 8 feet deep, with a common average depth between 18 and 30 inches. The exact depth depends on local factors like climate and soil type. In colder regions, pipes must be buried deeper (below the frost line) to prevent freezing, sometimes as deep as 8 feet. The digging depth can also impact the cost of sewer line replacement. To find the specific depth for your property, you can check the building plans for your system, which should be on file with your city or local sanitation department since permits are required for installation.
