MustardSeed EarthworX, LLC is a full service licensed Alabama Contractor providing land clearing, demolition, excavation, and storm water entity serving the Southeastern United States.

"Run! Do NOT hire John for ANY work on your property. After 3 months of work, this is what we ended up with. He claimed that the ground he cleared for our pasture was "ready for our horses." After 3 months of work, this is what little he got done on our 3 acres of pasture. He was also to install a culvert and entry to the driveway and you can see the very thin layer of clay that he laid down and what the result of the driveway looks like. After giving him over $20,000 and repeatedly telling him explicitly that he needed to complete the job, we finally had to call the Sheriffs office to get him to leave because was screaming & yelling & acting completely unprofessional. This guy has the gift of gab and he will talk you in circles. After having the Sheriffs called & telling him he was no longer allowed on our property, we had to hire another company to correct & finish the disaster he created. They were able to clear 18 acres in 2 weeks & John couldn't properly clear 3 acres in 3 months."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

Professional installers often include a deep layer of crushed gravel under permeable pavers to allow more runoff to soak through into the soil below. Many installations will include multiple layers of gravel, with coarser aggregate at the base and finer aggregate that sits on top of that bottom layer. Above the gravel, you’ll often find coarse sand that helps reduce paver shifting over time. Some permeable paver designs include a water collection system set into the gravel layer to route runoff to a safe area for disposal.

Yes. A metal detector is one of the quickest and easiest ways to find your septic tank. However, metal detectors can be too expensive (costing upward of $300 in some cases), and not everyone has a metal detector just lying around. If that’s the case for you, you can also take a long metal rod and poke it into the ground at regular intervals until you hit something—likely your septic tank lid.

Maintain open communication and address issues as they arise, ensuring contract terms cover potential delays.

Generally, a trenchless sewer line is worth the cost. If your old system needs replacement, trenchless sewer repair or replacement can save you thousands on excavation costs. Every homeowner’s situation is different, but this method is definitely worth it in a lot of cases.
