"Five stars for Apex Site Works. They just finished resurfacing our driveway with gravel and fixed our sloping issues. The work is top-notch, and they even brought in extra material to make sure the job was done right. Great communication and followed through on every detail until the project was complete. Professional, punctual, and went the extra mile. Highly recommend!""

"I hired ColbyPro to remove 37 dead trees from my property. The trees were dug up, the root ball and canopy removed, and then the trees were cut up into 18-inch pieces for firewood. The canopies and root balls were burned, and the holes were back-dragged to fill in. The owner of ColbyPro explained how they were going to approach each step prior to the job beginning. The price was more than fair for the amount of work they did, and I would recommend them to anyone."

"I couldn’t be happier with the work Chris did for me! He did an incredible job on my landscaping—it looks beautiful and completely transformed my yard. On top of that, he also repaired a leak under my bathroom sink quickly and efficiently. Chris is not only skilled and knowledgeable in his work, but he’s also very personable and easy to talk to. He takes the time to explain things and makes sure everything is done right. Plus, he was right on time, which I really appreciate. Highly recommend Chris for any landscaping or home repair needs. He’s fantastic!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Trenches are typically 12 to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, the required depth depends on the specific project and local ordinances. For example, a French drain may need to be 18 inches deep, while a water pipe might require a depth of 24 inches and a drainage pipe 36 inches. Your city or county may have specific regulations, so it's wise to consult with an excavation professional to determine the correct depth for your project.

If you’re planning to dig on your property, you’ll need to check for underground utility lines. Call the national call-before-you-dig 811 number. Once connected to an operator, you can schedule a site visit to mark underground lines. This way, you won’t accidentally dig into pipes and can cause major (read: costly) issues.

Landscape edging is more DIYable than trenching. You can DIY your own digging projects, but proceed carefully and only with proper knowledge of the equipment and appropriate safety measures in place. Keep in mind the project's scope and estimate how long it will take you to do it on your own. While you can certainly save money by DIYing home improvement projects, you can’t exactly hide an unfinished—or worse, ruined— landscaping job from the neighbors. It’s always safer to call an excavation pro near you to get an estimate.

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.

Consultation with the local government helps identify necessary permits, avoid project delays or legal issues, and protect project integrity.
