"Two issues occurred simultaneously: The first intense rainstorm in September flooded beneath a newly built fence and rushed over a low retaining wall, collapsing it in two places. On the front of the house, the catch basin in the driveway that was supposed to carry water from the drain spouts along the side of the house filled with mud, its connection to the drains apparently destroyed. I drew up a plan for dealing with both issues and received bids from three companies. Tiger's Landscaping owner, Jim Faulkner, seemed most competent and willing to do the job, and his bid was much lower than the others. We discussed the plan in detail and I felt his company was my best option. Jim and crew arrived the day after Thanksgiving and completed the project within five hours! All of the crew members were hard working, kind, and professional, and treated me and each other with respect. They rebuilt the retaining wall and installed a French drain behind it, wrapped in fabric and filled with rocks, and from that a drainpipe carried that water beneath the wall, underground through the yard where it was joined by pipes coming from the drain spouts on the house. The main pipe then continued beneath the fence where it emptied into rocks a few feet from the culvert. They tested it with a hose and it worked perfectly. I am very relieved and pleased to have this dealt with by such a fine company. I would highly recommend Jim Faulkner and Tiger's Landscaping, for any project he decides to tackle."

"I highly recommend NestEx LLC. We needed a gravel pad prepared for 2 sheds on very short notice, and he truly saved the day. Despite the tight timeline, he went out of his way to accommodate us by coming out on a Saturday to get the job done. His professionalism and attention to detail were evident from the moment he started. He meticulously dug out the soil and leveled the entire area before taking his time to expertly layer layer and compact the gravel. You can tell he takes immense pride in his work; the base is rock-solid and perfectly even. What impressed me the most was his thoughtfulness. After finishing a thorough cleanup of the area, he was gracious enough enough to cover the entire pad to protect it from the incoming rain. He wanted to ensure the gravel wouldn’t be compromised so it could harden properly- a level of care you rarely see. If you want someone reliable, hardworking, and genuinely dedicated to quality, look no further. 5 stars all the way."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

To drill a shallow well, you may be able to use a drive well point. This is a tapered point that is driven into the ground. A drill bit at the end of PVC pipe may be another option to consider. A lot of the cost depends on what tools are available near you.

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.

The easier way to find buried sprinkler lines is to use the plan from the professionals who installed the system. If you don’t have professional plans, listen for running water on your lawn when you turn on the system. You may also spot wet areas, giving you an idea of where the heads are. Once you find the sprinkler heads, you’ll likely be able to connect the dots between them, revealing the system below.

The physical constraints of hand-drilling a well limit the depth you can achieve. Manually digging with picks and shovels may only lead to shallow wells of up to 60 feet in depth. To reach greater depths, you need more specialized equipment. The diameter of your well and the tools you’re using will determine how far down you can dig.
