"They did a great job for a reasonable price. They gave a free quote for the job first. They answered all of our questions and more. Once we hired them, they showed up when they said they were going to and worked until the job was done. They were very knowledgeable. We hired them to regrade our yard and install a french drain. Two days after the project was finished, it rained really hard and the yard drained like it was supposed to. We are very happy with their work and would hire them again. We would recommend them."

"Fantastic, they came out and poured a large section of my driveway that had turned to rubble, and they also replaced part of my walkway that had two large cracks in a section.

"Chris Vestal is the best!! We had water intrusion due to a failed drainage system. Chris showed up within a day of being called, came up with a game plan and communicated with us until the plan was solidified and a price quote was settled. He showed up on time ready for work. In the process he discovered our main water line was in disrepair, called in a company plumber and had our new water line installed within hours. I can’t stress enough his reliability, courteous communication, positive work ethic, knowledge and professionalism!!! Thank you Chris!!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even if the project only involves grading or yard leveling. Excavation permits help protect the topography in your area and can avoid issues with poor drainage. In most cases, your excavation company will know whether or not permits are required and will even pull them and close them out for you before and after the job. You can also verify whether permits are necessary by calling your local building department and explaining the proposed project.

Downspouts should be buried at least 5 to 10 feet away from your foundation. This can vary depending on your local building codes, soil type, and property slope. The main goal is to ensure water is directed away from your foundation.

Trenches are typically 12 inches to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, your city or county may have specific ordinances that clarify the dimensions needed for the project. For instance, a water pipe may need to be 24 inches deep, but a drainage pipe may need to be 36 inches deep.

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. 

No, you typically cannot use metal detectors to find your sewer line. Most sewer lines are made of non-metallic materials such as PVC, clay, or cast iron, which are not detectable by standard metal detectors. Metal detectors are designed to locate metallic objects, so they won't be effective for identifying the path of a non-metallic sewer line. To locate your sewer line accurately, it's best to use other methods.
