"I hired Dirt-N-Turf for a landscaping project involving tree clearing, land contouring, and the completion of rock retaining wall, and I couldn’t be more impressed with their work. From start to finish, their team demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and a commitment to perfection that sets them apart. The tree clearing was handled with precision and care, ensuring the safety of our property and buildings while efficiently removing unwanted trees. Their equipment appropriate to the job made quick work of the job without compromising on quality. The land contouring was equally impressive, transforming uneven terrain into a beautifully shaped landscape that perfectly suited our vision. They took the time to understand our needs and provided expert recommendations to improve the project’s outcome. The rock retaining walls they completed are fantastic. The craftsmanship is evident in every detail, with carefully selected stones arranged to create both functional and visually strik"

"iRock consulted with me on what was being filled in and how big the beds would be. They calculated the amount needed and it was just about perfect! They delivered on time, even after letting me know they may be a few minutes late, and then carefully unloaded onto our driveway. The rock was beautiful "as is" but they also told us that if it got wet it would be even prettier, and they were right. I would highly recommend them for any landscaping needs!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The depth of a septic tank’s drain lines is between 18 and 36 inches underground. These pipes are filled with perforations and surrounded by sand, gravel, or a combination of both, as both materials help filter wastewater. While some pipes are buried closer to the surface, this can create problems unless the soil is compact and doesn’t shift much. 

It is a common belief that excavation is easier or less costly when done in the summer or when the ground is not frozen. Seasons have little effect on when excavation can occur; however, inclement weather can prolong the duration of the job and potentially increase costs. For this reason, those in rainy climates may opt for seasons with milder weather.

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.

Slab foundations are more affordable than crawl spaces because they require minimal excavation, as the slab sits directly on the ground or on footers that only sink a few feet into the ground. Crawl spaces require excavation of the entire footprint of the home to several feet below the surface. Not only does that mean higher labor costs, but more materials are necessary for the concrete foundation walls.

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.
