"The job was done in a timely manner. They were quick and did exactly what was requested. I showed up to the house to pay and they were all professional and busy cleaning the area they had worked in. Very happy with how fast they were able to get this project done. When I had returned the areas were cleaned and raked and it looked as if no one had been there."

"I have several trees that were in severe need of trimming up. And one that had mostly died that needed to be cut down. One is a very large Fruitless Mulberry that was growing over a metal carport. I contacted Bautista Brothers Lawn Care, LLC about them. They came out the next day and gave me a very reasonable price on the job. I told Isaiah to schedule me and 3 days later they came in with their crew and finished the job in one day. I couldnâ t be happier with the job they did. I would highly recommend them. Their whole crew are very hardworking and really nice. Just an all around group of good guys. Give them a call."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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. 

Yes, trenchers can go through gravel. Gravel is made up of smaller, softer rocks that certain trenchers are able to cut through. Just be sure to use a rock wheel trencher or chain trencher, both of which are made to cut through rocky landscapes and gravel pathways without dulling the teeth or chain.

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 have a broken sprinkler pipe underground, there will be some signs you can easily spot to locate it and take action. These include leaks, water spouts, flooding, consistently damp areas on your lawn, low water pressure, and grass around the sprinkler head that’s taller and darker than anywhere else in the yard. 

If there are no obvious signs of a broken pipe, you can use tools such as water leak mics, leak noise loggers, audio devices that record leaks, and acoustic testing links. 

Broken pipes can lead to uneven watering, plant damage, and higher utility bills. The longer you wait to fix them the more the repair cost may be.

Drilled wells have a pipe sticking up that’s covered in a plastic or metal casing. On the other hand, a dug well will look like a big hole in the ground and is more similar to what you’d see in a fantasy or Western movie. If you want to be sure, contact the city for documentation on your property’s construction and excavation history.
