"It can be difficult  to find any contractor, involving a  homeowner service of any technical nature or  aesthetic importance that truly is impressive.   Well, we found one.   His firm is all any homeowner could hope for …  and more.   He’s incredibly reliable, when so many vendors are not.   He explains things clearly and stands by his promises.   He’s courteous to a fault. More than courteous, he’s genuinely friendly and outgoing…, in every respect a pleasure to deal with.   Important in terms of why we hired Shear Concrete, Trent has a conspicuous pride in his customer service and quality of workmanship. It’s far beyond what any homeowner reasonably could expect … and it’s at absolute the highest level.   Equally impressive, Trent‘s  service is provided at a fair price and precisely what the consumer was promised.   The workmanship was spectacular. Many contractors would think that a sidewalk simply is, well, “a sidewalk”. Not to Trent. His design AND workmanship are special … superb actually. Drive by and see for yourself … our Beloit address is below. Large brick house on Milwaukee Road, one lot short of Chapin.   Our crowning compliment is that we were so pleased with Shear Concrete’s work and friendly and businesslike approach that we immediately retained the company for ANOTHER PROJECT.   Anyone seeking more information is free to call Alan Truesdale @ 608.530.2893 Our address is 726 Milwaukee Road.   My best, Alan Truesdale"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Depth is not a qualifying component of evacuation. Any human-made cut, cavity, or depression in the earth’s surface is considered excavation. The hole from excavation can be any size, shape, or depth. Excavation is used to create foundations, reservoirs, drainage ditches, and roads. Long, narrow excavations are called trenches and are often used for underground utilities.

Skunk digging looks like a series of small, cone-shaped holes on a lawn or around the perimeter of a home, porch, deck, or shed. The holes that skunks dig when searching for grubs tend to be no more than four inches in diameter and may be up to four inches deep.

Trenchers can dig holes as narrow as 4 inches or as wide as 4 feet. Check the specifications of the trencher you rent or buy to determine how wide it will cut into the landscape. Better yet, let the excavation company know how wide you’d like the trench to be, and they can help you choose the right trencher for the job (or do it for you).

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.

You can dig 60 to 80 linear feet by hand per day depending on the depth. Digging a 100-foot trench by hand will take you two work days, but it can take longer if you have heavy or rocky soil. If you’re digging a deep trench or one that’s over 100 feet, consider renting a mechanical trencher, such as a walk-behind or ride-on, or calling a pro for help.
