"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."

"I recently hired this pro and couldn’t be more satisfied with the results. They were punctual, professional, and paid great attention to detail. The crew transformed my yard completely—everything from trimming to planting was done with care and precision. They also made sure to clean up thoroughly after the job. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and high-quality landscaping services"

"Our home has an iron filter in our crawl space that flushes out a large volume of water each day as part of a daily backwash. The water was splashing up against our foundation, and we hired Drain My Lawn to divert the water away from our foundation. Nick and his team installed an underground pipe which leads to a pop-up emitter approximately 5 feet away from our foundation. This ended up being a very cost effective solution to ensure our foundation is protected from a high volume of splashing and pooling water. The folks at Drain My Lawn know what they’re doing, and you can tell they love coming up with solutions for their customers. Highly recommend the team at Drain My Lawn."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

It takes one hour to dig a 10-foot trench by hand. Use a trenching shovel with a sharp tip and a long head. Plan for more time if your soil is heavy or rocky. Consider renting a trencher if you’re digging a long or deep trench or if you have challenging soil or terrain. 

Most professional excavation teams will charge between $8 and $15 per cubic yard. Calculate the cost by finding the volume of your pool—width x length x depth—and dividing it by 27. Then, multiply the price by the cubic yards from your equation. Budget for complications like a rocky lawn, hard-to-access pool area, or high local labor prices.

Yes, an excavation company is the best option for land grading and yard leveling. General landscapers might be able to tackle these projects, but an excavation company will do a better job because they’re used to operating the necessary heavy machinery. Landscapers might opt to do the work manually, which takes much longer and could cost you more in labor fees. Finally, excavation companies will understand local regulations and know when you need permits to legalize the work, while a landscaper might not.

Depending on the severity of the freeze and the method used, thawing frozen underground pipes can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours. Applying heat directly to the pipe using heat tape, infrared lamps, or hot water jetting can speed up the process. However, patience and careful monitoring are key to avoiding pipe damage.

Because decomposed granite is a durable material, a crushed rock or gravel base is optional as long as the DG is properly installed and compacted. However, installing a base is a good idea because it will ensure proper drainage and stability and act as a weed suppressant (although you may still occasionally have to pull weeds). Installing an adequate base can also increase the durability of driveways and walkways. If you forego the paver base or gravel underneath, line the area with landscaping fabric to avoid weeds.
