"I had never met Trent before this job. I selected him because he came off as honest, he was local and seemed to be raised right and promised he would not stop until I was happy. He did not disappoint Trent was awesome to work with and his pricing was fair. He excavated for a llarge pool and stayed within level range throughout . Will call him for landscaping around the pool and and hillside excavation in a month. Highly recommended"

"Watkins is great to work with. Everyone I had contact with was very professional, helpful and informative. They were determined to get the job done exactly the way I wanted it done. They communicated with me at every step of the process and were happy to answer any questions that I had. They took the time to get every detail right. Our new outdoor space turned out to be better than we had imagined. I will use Watkins for all of my outdoor projects moving forward."

"I've worked with Nick and Yaardvack for 6 years now. They've been thoroughly honest and transparent with me in every interaction. I recently had them do some landscaping for me and they replaced several dead evergreen trees in my backyard. They did a great job, made sure the site was cleaned up and everything was presentable. They also went above and beyond and adjusted some of my sprinklers for me to ensure the new trees were getting adequate coverage. Pricing for the work was fair and they followed through with support when I needed their expertise on proper plant care. Really appreciate doing business with an honest company like them and they've earned my business for the past six years and going forward."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

Generally, a trenchless sewer line is worth the cost. If your old system needs replacement, trenchless sewer repair or replacement can save you thousands on excavation costs. Every homeowner’s situation is different, but this method is definitely worth it in a lot of cases.

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. 

Professional installers often include a deep layer of crushed gravel under permeable pavers to allow more runoff to soak through into the soil below. Many installations will include multiple layers of gravel, with coarser aggregate at the base and finer aggregate that sits on top of that bottom layer. Above the gravel, you’ll often find coarse sand that helps reduce paver shifting over time. Some permeable paver designs include a water collection system set into the gravel layer to route runoff to a safe area for disposal.

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.

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.
