Here at Rea Excavating Services, I pride myself on my professionalism, as well as my ability to complete every job to the homeowner's total satisfaction. I never leave a job unfinished, or a homeowner not 100% satisfied with my level of service. I handle excavating and landscaping and concrete work in Wylie - Call today!

"Hired him to grind some relatively small brush stumps and then roto-till the area to break-up the other roots and make the soil ready to plant replacement foliage. He quoted $600 to $800 and said it would take a good portion of a day. He did grind the stumps but got **finished** quicker than I expected, said that the roto-tilling was really hard, and that he was charging $900. I should have called him out on this, but he had brought his young (approx. 10 or 11 year old) son with him on the job; so I did not want to embarrass him. Now, after planting some new scrubs in the area he worked, I am realizing that the roto-tilling being **really hard** actually meant **it was really hard, so I just did not do it**. There are roots on the surface of the area completely intact, and a few inches under the surface some roots 1.5 to 2 inches in diameter, as well as rocks and large terra-cotta pots pieces that I am having to dig out by hand. I even had to buy a special shovel that could cut through roots to be able to plant anything. Bottom line - did not do all the work he contracted to do and charged more than what he originally quoted to actually do everything including the work he clearly did not do."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Depth is not a qualifying component of evacuation. Any human-made cut, cavity, or depression in the earth’s surface is considered excavation. The hole from excavation can be any size, shape, or depth. Excavation is used to create foundations, reservoirs, drainage ditches, and roads. Long, narrow excavations are called trenches and are often used for underground utilities.

Silt fences should be trenched 8 to 12 inches deep to prevent sediment-filled water from escaping underneath. It also helps to anchor the fence during wet, windy weather. The silt fence fabric often has a red line to indicate the depth for digging. A good contractor will be familiar with the guidelines and regulations.

No, a ditch isn’t a trench. A ditch is an open, relatively shallow channel that’s carved out of the ground and used for drainage purposes. In contrast, a trench is a deeper excavation that’s entirely underground. Trenches have many uses, including gas lines, sewage systems, and electrical wiring. Unlike trenches, ditches don’t get filled back in with dirt after they’re dug.

Yes, professional installations include trenching or borehole drilling required for ground loops.

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.
