"The work performed was actually land clearing (which was not available in the drop down categories). Using a skid steer and brush hog JT3 Enterprises did an excellent job of removing grass, weeds, and bushes on my 10+ acres property. The area was so large, they provided a drone video of the work performed. This was an unexpected plus for this job and demonstrated their willingness to go the extra mile to satisfy a customer. They were great to work with."

"Excellent! Could not have chosen a better contractor to do my required work. Jose and crew gave full attention to every detail, from keeping me informed, staying on schedule as permitted, and very knowledgeable in the various materials that were possible to be used. After completion their job clean-up was thorough, loading and hauling off unused material. I absolutely would hire JC Construction again, in fact, already have another job in the making for he and his crew! My yard looks great, thanks to JC Construction!"

"I researched many barn construction companies before making the decision to use Diamond W Specialties. They built me a steel buildings that is 40x40 including a 10x40 lean to that will be used as a porch. The concrete work was excellent as was the construction on the steel building. They told me they would be complete in one month from start to finish. Even with the week of Christmas holiday they completed the job in less than one month. The crew would arrive before daylight and work by their headlights until it was daylight then they worked past sundown. Each crew member had his specific job to do and it was like an assembly line. No one ever stood around wasting time. After construction was completed I expected them to pack up and leave but the doesn't half a day finding little things that most people wouldn't see and fixed them. When I went around the building looking for anything that was incomplete I didn't find a thing. Diamond W Specialties in my opinion is the best steel building construction company, period."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Trenching and boring are two distinct methods for installing underground utilities. Trenching involves digging a channel using equipment like an excavator, trencher, backhoe, or shovel. While it is a simpler process, it causes significant disruption to the surface, landscaping, and surrounding ecosystems.

Boring, also known as directional boring, is a less invasive alternative that uses a drill to create a tunnel for utility lines without disturbing the surface. This method is more precise and is ideal for installations that need to go underneath buildings, roads, or bodies of water. Although boring is less disruptive, it is generally more expensive than trenching.

How deep your septic system needs to be into the ground depends on several factors. In extremely cold environments, the tank needs to rest below the maximum frost line, which can be up to six or eight feet deep. The standard burying depth for most systems is between a few inches and four feet below ground level. Depth can also depend on the slope of the landscaping and other property variables. 

A perc test can take anywhere from one to eight hours to complete. The total time depends on factors like the amount of excavation required, the depth and width of the holes, and whether multiple test holes are needed. For a single hole, the process of filling it with water and monitoring the drainage rate usually takes less than an hour. Professionals can often complete the entire test in a single day. While it's possible to get results the same day, some companies may take a few days to provide the official report.

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.

Dumpsters work best on hard, study, and level surfaces made of asphalt, stone, or concrete. If the surface is uneven or too soft, the dumpster could get stuck or tip over when filled. Keep in mind that you must obtain a dumpster permit to keep it on a city street in many areas.
