"They are a father and son team. They show up when they say they will. They are hard workers and know what they are doing. My backyard was a disaster, very uneven, full of rocks/boulders and had a really bad slope. I couldn't mow it with my mower. I had to weed wack it. I had them come in and grade,fill and put top soil down. It looks fantastic and is now mow able. They also did a driveway for me. They are very fair with pricing. I highly recommend them."

My name is Christian Hughes I am a proud owner of Good Ol’ Boys.\nWhen I first started the company I worked for many others over the course of many years and recognized countless mistakes that I have learned from. \nIf the service was good the communication wasn’t. If the work was done wrong the sell pitch was higher and so forth and so wrong! \nThe Good Ol’ Boys CO. Was founded due to people cutting corners and a couple of guys tired of seeing customers not getting what they deserved. \nWe do it right every time and the first time, because your time is valuable and so is ours. \nWe will always listen to the customer, give our advice and make sure everyone is happy at the end of the day. \nIf you ever need ANYTHING done Id Highly recommend to call us Good Ol’ Boys first, because if we can’t do it we know somebody that can. \nGod bless. Stay safe and have a wonderful day. \n-Christian Hughes Proud Owner Of Good Ol’ Boys CO.\n

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

Digging out a basement takes anywhere from a few days to a few months. Most projects take at least two to five weeks, but it could take several months if you encounter obstacles. This project takes longer if you need to brace or raise your home before the excavation. Digging out a basement in new construction can take as little as three days.

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. 

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.

The digging depth will depend on the size of the trencher you use. Even smaller units can dig up to 4 feet deep, which is plenty for a DIY job. However, much larger trenchers can reach a depth of 18 feet and are better used by a team of pro contractors, not a single DIYer. As with all home improvement projects, use the right tool for the job and proceed with caution.

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.
