They did OK getting the dirt back in the hole but it was not level and it needed 30 rolls of sod to cove up. |
It really bothers me to see pics like this. That excavation should be shored, or stepped wider below his chest height. A small cave in and he's dead, happened a few years back to a local excavator.
I will never allow my guys to work in a trench more than 4' deep.
