"We recently completed a major exterior renovation with Mike, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience or the final result. From day one, Mike made the entire process smooth, organized, and surprisingly stress‑free. He kept us updated at every stage, answered questions before we even had to ask, and handled every detail with total professionalism. Every subcontractor he brought in was skilled, respectful, and conscientious. Our property was kept clean and livable throughout, even while tackling big projects like a new roof, stucco work, window wells, and a full garage and workshop addition. It was clear that Mike holds his team to a high standard. The finished product is beautiful, and the craftsmanship shows in every corner. We’re grateful for how easy Mike made such a large renovation feel. We would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for a contractor who is reliable, communicative, and genuinely committed to quality."

"This was the easiest process. They checked what we wanted, made sure everyone working on it understood and the price they quoted came in under the original once they got into it. Will definitely be hiring these guys again for my next project!"

"I had a row of hedges that needed to be removed to add extra parking space at my home. Randy ripped out all the hedges, an old basketball pole buried in 6 feet of concrete, and prepped it for a driveway. He brought in countless loads of gravel and compacted it all. It’s been a great addition to our home and really opened up the yard. We’ve done a few other small projects and they’ve all turned out awesome!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

A joint utility trench, or joint trench, is a long, buried ditch on a property that contains two or more utility lines rather than running the lines in multiple trenches. Some utilities, like gas and electric or electric and communication lines, are better suited to joint trenching, while others, like water and sewer, are not allowed to be in the same trench.

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. 

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.

If you don’t have a crawl space but have a partial basement you want to make deeper, you can expect to spend a little less—between $40,000 and $90,000 on average. However, if you’re not adding new finished square footage, you won’t see much in the way of ROI.
