"The guys were on time and did an amazing job clearing land and disposing of debris on my property. I added a couple of little things that I needed done. The price was very fair and they were quick to get it done. I there was no riding the clock to run my bill up. I definitely would not use any one else."

"Paul worked really hard in blisteringly hot temperatures to clear the areas we asked him to clear and went above and beyond to leave the areas tidy after the work was completed. I would definitely recommend Paul to anyone who is considering having land cleared of cedars. Paul also cleared out scrub to leave the oak trees uncluttered and more impressive than before."

"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!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

You can bury underground electrical wire six inches deep—but only if you use a rigid metal electrical conduit. For rigid, non-metallic conduits, bury the wire at least 12 inches deep. If using an underground feeder cable rated for direct burial, you'll need to place it at least 18 inches deep, as it has no conduit for extra protection.

Most residential basements are 8 to 10 feet deep. You can dig deeper depending on building codes, but it does become more difficult. You’ll likely need to install stronger foundation walls and additional supports to handle the increased load. Depending on the water table, you may also need a water management system. Clay soil can support a deeper foundation than sandy soil. A structural engineer will be able to tell you the maximum, feasible depth.

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.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

To determine whether your homeowners' insurance will cover crawl space repair, consider the cause of the issue. Repair may be covered if the problems were caused by an event that the insurance covers, such as vandalism or a windstorm. However, companies won't cover the repair if the issues are caused by neglect or wear and tear.
