"Professional, efficient, and timely quality work. Well worth the money. My job was was a 28' X 21' parking pad in a sloped and difficult to reach location in front of my house. They removed the greens, installed and compacted gravel fill to level the area with a 2% slope, then installed asphalt by skip loader using hand and power tools to smooth, finishing with a vibrating roller. I got to see their skillset in it's entirety. I am pleased with the results and would recommend them for your job."

"It was an immense task to thatch the lawn. It had years of undergrowth. The crew was friendly, courteous, professional, hard working and focused on completing the project. They were excellent on cleaning up too. I do recommend them. And I am always happy to support a vet owned business. Thank you!"

"Ken, is awesome! He is friendly, easy to talk to, and will take care of all your needs. I hired Ken to excavate my front lawn for landscaping. He and his professional helper/excavator, Gearmo, took measurements of my front, backyard and determined the grade of my front lawn using a laser to match the grade of my residential street in front of my house. Ken, also removed some stumps in my backyard, did some grading around my septic tanks, and moved my tough shed in my backyard. Ken prices are good, you definitely get what you pay for. I most definitely would use Tannahill Construction LLC for my excavation needs and recommend him to anyone. My yard and house look amazing, thanks to both of you. Take care and God bless!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.

The digging depth will depend on the size of the trencher you use. Even smaller units can dig up to 4 feet deep, which is plenty for a DIY job. However, much larger trenchers can reach a depth of 18 feet and are better used by a team of pro contractors, not a single DIYer. As with all home improvement projects, use the right tool for the job and proceed with caution.

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. 

You should dig 3 to 6 inches deep for plastic edging. Dig as wide as you need to fit your plastic edging into it—2 inches is usually sufficient.

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even for projects that only involve grading or yard leveling. Permit requirements depend on your local government and the scope of the project, but they are especially common for significant digging or work that could affect utilities or public property. These permits help protect the local topography and prevent drainage issues. An experienced excavation company will typically know whether permits are needed and can often handle the process of pulling and closing them for you. You can also verify permit requirements by contacting your local building department and describing your project.
