"We recently hired Mountain Creek Iron L.L.C. to demolish an old shed in our backyard, and they did an absolutely fantastic job! From start to finish, they were highly professional, efficient with reasonable price. Not only did they tear down the shed and leave the area perfectly neat and tidy, but they also went above and beyond by hauling away some extra trash and green waste in our backyard. We are so grateful for their hard work and will definitely be using their services again in the future. If you need any demolition or hauling work done, look no further!"

"Rob and Preston installed a new sprinkler system in my yard. They were very professional and thorough during the initial walk-through and bid. They were excellent at communicating when they would be on site, what work would be done. Additionally, they continually kept me apprised progress and of any minor changes that were required due to unanticipated obstacles. Prior to commencing, Rod met with the city to make sure that everything met code. This illustrated a high level of professionalism. After the work was completed, they cleaned up everything very well and walked me through the system, educating me on the controller, filter, zones, coverage, etc. When dealing with contractors, I HIGHLY VALUE TRUST. THEY INDEED EARNED MINE. I highly recommend their services to anyone."

"This company has been amazing to work with. Matt and Seth were so attentive to all of my needs and were willing to do absolutely everything I asked them to. This was not, by any means, an easy remodel, and I am beyond thrilled about how it turned out. They certainly went above and beyond in everything they did. I literally have my dream bathroom, thanks to them. I would highly recommend Peaking Engineering and Construction."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Trenching is a specific kind of digging. Trenching means digging a depression in the earth that’s deeper than it is wide, often with heavy machinery. Digging refers to any kind of removal of earth in order to create a human-made depression, hole, or cut in the earth’s surface. You can dig with big tools or even with just a hand shovel.

Trenchers can dig holes as narrow as 4 inches or as wide as 4 feet. Check the specifications of the trencher you rent or buy to determine how wide it will cut into the landscape. Better yet, let the excavation company know how wide you’d like the trench to be, and they can help you choose the right trencher for the job (or do it for you).

Digging a well can cost between $20 and $25,000, depending on your needs. If you’re looking to dig a well yourself, all you need is a shovel. If you’re looking to have a well drilled by a professional, you can expect to pay around $15 to $30 per foot. The total cost of drilling a well will average to $5,500.

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.
