"Juan and his crew did an amazing job! From start to finish I had no problems! Juan was professional, on time, honest, and extremely knowledgeable! Juan helped with great suggestions after describing my idea to him during the free estimate. He communicated when the rain storms kept delaying my project and didn't try to start the job knowing a bad storm was on the way. He cares more about the final outcome than just getting the job done. Juan and his crew are meticulous! They paid attention to every detail. He pitched my driveway just right! No more puddles and I absolutely love the final outcome! I will definitely use JM Concrete LLC for another project and highly recommend them!"

"We are EXTREMELY PLEASED with our finished patio! Ben and his team made the vision I had in my head for a "modern patio aesthetic" come to life. I never knew I could love concrete so much! They worked very hard, went the extra mile and all with a smile and good sense of humor. The job from start to finish was professionally done and throughout the process they always made sure we were satisfied with any progress made. Their work is thorough and attentive to details to ensure the final product is of quality and satisfaction to the customer. We've waited three years to do this project and now wish we had invested sooner. It's more than a patio...it's an entirely new living space to enjoy the outdoors and spend time away from electronics with friends, family or a just good cup of coffee. :) We highly recommend Advance Contracting and would hire them again. Thank you all for a JOB WELL DONE! Time to decorate and get the grill out...(ok and finish our landscaping)."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Trenches are 12 to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, the right depth for your trench will depend on the nature of your project. For example, if you’re digging a trench as part of a French drain installation, it should be 18 inches deep. An excavation professional can explain how deep your trench should be.

The answer may vary based on where you live. Residential sewer lines are generally buried 5 feet to 6 feet under the ground. However, it's not uncommon to see pipes buried as deep as 8 feet in colder climates in order to ensure that piping is placed below the freeze line. Digging depth could impact your sewer line replacement cost.

Preparation involves site assessment, clearing debris, grading surfaces, and compacting soil to support stable construction.

While you can save some money by digging your own pool, you may end up paying more in construction equipment rental fees in the long run. You could, however, focus your DIY energies on lowering the cost of leveling your lawn for your pool or filling in surrounding landscaping after construction.

In the United States, a depth of 36 inches (three feet) for underground water lines is the accepted industry standard. This depth varies from location to location based on local conditions. In areas with colder winters, they may be buried deeper to prevent frozen well water pipes : This is usually at least six inches below the frost level. The International Plumbing Code calls for a minimum of 12 inches below grade.
