"I?m not sure if I caught this pro at a bad time or not, but he was initially very quick to respond and promising and had great reviews . He had the best price on the project of the quotes I had received at that time. I accepted the job. He said he would he done with my project in one day, one day turned to over two weeks. He claimed his whole team had illnesses on multiple days, couldn?t come during rain, and holidays or other things came up. At the end of the day the project looks good, but wasn?t exactly what I asked for. There was lack of communication for each day when it would be completed or if it was even done, and I had to reach out myself for clarification. Despite the lack of clarification , he was quick to ask for a deposit and full payment. After I asked for what wasn?t done right to be fixed, he said he would come back to finish up and never showed up again. Again, I?m not sure if I caught him at a bad time, but it wasn?t the best experience. "

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.

Yes, an excavation company is the best option for land grading and yard leveling. General landscapers might be able to tackle these projects, but an excavation company will do a better job because they’re used to operating the necessary heavy machinery. Landscapers might opt to do the work manually, which takes much longer and could cost you more in labor fees. Finally, excavation companies will understand local regulations and know when you need permits to legalize the work, while a landscaper might not.

There are many ways to cut through roots when digging, especially if your trencher doesn’t seem to be removing the roots. First, use a shovel to expose the roots. Then, use gardening shears to clear out smaller roots or a reciprocating saw to remove larger plant roots. If you plan on keeping the plant, avoid cutting any roots over 2 inches thick.

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.

It takes two to three hours to trench 100 feet with a mechanical trencher or 10 to 12 hours if digging with a shovel. The total time to dig a trench depends on the depth, width, soil type, terrain, trencher type, and your level of experience. Digging in clay or rocky soil takes longer than soft ground.
