"We had a tree with an open knot that was rotting the tree from the inside out. This made for a dangerous situation for a future storm that would have brought the tree down causing severe damage. Murphy tree service had the time that afternoon while they were finishing a job on our street. They took the tree down very efficiently and cleaned up behind themselves. They are personable and professional throughout the job. When you want a job done right at a fair price call Murphy tree service."

"South Henry Construction and Land Management did an absolutely outstanding job on our project! They laid asphalt millings for us and went above and beyond to make sure everything was done properly and with care. The quality of their work shows in every detail, the surface is smooth, well-graded, and looks fantastic. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to doing the job right really stood out. We couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend them to anyone needing construction or land management services. Truly a 5-star experience from start to finish!"

"Nathan and James were the absolute perfect people to work with. I wanted about an acre clear with trees to knock down, stumps filled in, roots managed, and logs cleared out. They kept all our appointments to talk about the project and gave me a firm date on when they would start and finish. They stuck to it and worked hard, totally exceeding my expectations. They were fair and reasonable with prices, if you need excavation or anything of the sort done you need to call these guys, I'm definitely going to get them to help me out for my next projects."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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

Sewer lines can be buried anywhere from 18 inches to 8 feet deep, with a common average depth between 18 and 30 inches. The exact depth depends on local factors like climate and soil type. In colder regions, pipes must be buried deeper (below the frost line) to prevent freezing, sometimes as deep as 8 feet. The digging depth can also impact the cost of sewer line replacement. To find the specific depth for your property, you can check the building plans for your system, which should be on file with your city or local sanitation department since permits are required for installation.

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.

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.

Excavation is priced in cubic yards, so you’ll need to find the volume of the area in order to calculate costs. Multiply the length, width, and proposed depth of your excavation site, then convert it into yards to get the volume. Multiply this figure by the price per cubic yard.

Most homeowners can measure by hand to get a rough estimate, even if it’s tedious. You may want to pull out a tape measure or use a string to help mark the area.
