"J&H excavating traveled up to Columbus to tackle this 3,000 foot driveway project. J & H provided constant communication throughout 3 different phases of the project, and worked great in conjunction with the other contractors on the job."

"We had a lot that was in bad shape with mobile home delivery service. I did not have a yard it was one trench after another all around the home. I hired Jeff and his crew to fix our lot. He leveled the lot and re sloped the steep bank so we could mow it our self and not have to hire somebody to mow it for us. They also built a ramp for the front door and for the out building. They did more for us then we though was in our budget. Jeff is a true professional, courteous, and easy to work with. When he was done my wife took one look at the yard and just broke out in tears because now she had a lot that she could have her flower garden. I forget to mention he sowed grass seed and covered it with straw. Did he go beyond our expectation? YES! Will we hire him again? There is no question we would. I can not say enough good about Jeff and David."

"We called so many plumbers and one “professional” company showed up and didn’t even bring exploratory tools. We found Adkins and they showed up with an excavator and shovels ready to find the problem in this frigid cold. They gave us a quote and started working at 4pm and stayed until 8pm to find the source of the sewer leak. They gave us a plan to fix it and a full price to which we agreed and they left for the evening to get parts and return the next day to finish the job. Couldn’t ask for a better group of guys. They were fully committed to fixing the problem and they even listened to us when we told them where and what we thought it might be. (If you’re a homeowner you know how that usually goes) They were a pleasure to work with on this repair and we will be calling them back to tackle a few more building projects. I might also add they didn’t try to gouge us and charge us for a complete sewer pipe install, like the big plumbing company tried to do."

Excellent work. 1 Susan Richards 2 reviews This company was amazing. Jarred went above and beyond to find my drainage problems. He and his crew had their work cut out for them with dealing with replacing decades old plumbing and unclogging and cleaning out my sewer line. Required lots of digging and crawling under the house and they didn't hesitate. Took a job that most would have drug out for days and got it done in a day and half. The crew worked nonstop to get the job done. No unnecessary items to jack up the price which shows they take honor and pride in their work. Jarred kept me informed every step of the way. When they left they left everything in great shape. This company is worth the money and I will most definitely use them in the future. Very polite, respectful and hard working. Susan Richards"

"Sun Comfort recently built me a carport/roof over my driveway (one side attached to the house, the other end with support posts. I opted to use metal trusses, like are more commonly used on â pole barnsâ and commercial buildings, rather than conventional wooden trusses. SC handled the rather unconventional construction method just fine. While I thought the cost of construction was rather high, the quality of their work was equally high. Overall I was very satisfied and would highly recommend this company for any remodeling job. â - David Ansell (retired lawyer)"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

While general contractors sometimes handle demolition, you can also look specifically for local demolition contractors. Demolition experts need to understand structural integrity, the equipment needed for safe demolition, and the permits required for demolition.

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.

Trenching is a specific kind of digging. Trenching means digging a depression in the earth that’s deeper than it is wide, often with heavy machinery. Digging refers to any kind of removal of earth in order to create a human-made depression, hole, or cut in the earth’s surface. You can dig with big tools or even with just a hand shovel.

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.

Water lines are buried at various depths, depending on the type of line. For example, most sprinkler lines are buried between four and 12 inches underground. On the other hand, water mains usually sit between one and 3 feet below ground. However, they can go even deeper in cold climates to prevent freezing.
