"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."

"The lack of integrity and quality of work was not what I expected from a company that has been around for so long. Work ethic and quality of work has greatly diminished over the years. We paid over $21,000 for electrical on a remodel and instead of replacing 40+ year old wiring, they just spliced parts of new wire to the old wire AND left most of the wiring hanging down on the ground. They also had cut the wire in several places and did not fix it until we called them. I would not recommend them or the contractors that use them (Pressnell Enterprises)"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Because decomposed granite is a durable material, a crushed rock or gravel base is optional as long as the DG is properly installed and compacted. However, installing a base is a good idea because it will ensure proper drainage and stability and act as a weed suppressant (although you may still occasionally have to pull weeds). Installing an adequate base can also increase the durability of driveways and walkways. If you forego the paver base or gravel underneath, line the area with landscaping fabric to avoid weeds.

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.

It takes two to three hours to trench 100 feet with a mechanical trencher or 10 to 12 hours if digging with a shovel. The total time to dig a trench depends on the depth, width, soil type, terrain, trencher type, and your level of experience. Digging in clay or rocky soil takes longer than soft ground.  

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

The answer may vary based on where you live. Residential sewer lines are generally buried 5 feet to 6 feet under the ground. However, it's not uncommon to see pipes buried as deep as 8 feet in colder climates in order to ensure that piping is placed below the freeze line. Digging depth could impact your sewer line replacement cost.
