"Kingdom Land Services recently completed a job on our driveway. Connor was very knowledgeable and professional when working with us and staying within our budget. He was also very conscious of our need to have access to our home and worked with our schedule to get the job finished in a timely manner. Highly recommend them for any of your land management needs."

"I have to give a HUGE shout out to Mahan Septic Systems and Dirt Work from Hot Springs, AR. We had a stopped up toilet and needed some assistance. We found them on Angi and they contacted us immediately. We made arrangements and they came the next day and found the issue and solved it. They even came back the following day and fixed the toilet lid (which wasn't even on the fix list!). I would highly recommend giving them a call the next time you need any septic and plumbing work. Call (501) 617-7689. Thank you Mahan!"

"I had the pleasure of working with Colt and the team at Dirt Lion on a series of projects, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. As a client managing the process from out of town, I especially appreciated the clear and consistent communication. Their ability to handle local coordination and project management made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Dirt Lion completed a wide range of services for me, including tree removal, driveway widening, utility line trenching, house demolition, and pad preparation for a new home build. Every aspect of the work was executed with precision and professionalism, meeting—and even exceeding—my high expectations. The quality of work, attention to detail, and ease of doing business with Dirt Lion have earned my trust, and I will absolutely use them again for future projects. Highly recommended."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

There is no standard depth for burying a septic tank; they are typically buried anywhere from 4 inches to 4 feet underground. The final depth depends on several factors, including the depth of your main sewer line, the height of the bedrock, soil type, local regulations, and the property's landscape. If you plan to grow grass or plants over the tank, a depth of at least 4 to 6 inches is recommended. Deeper tanks can be more difficult to locate, but a septic professional can help find it for you.

It takes one hour to dig a 10-foot trench by hand. Use a trenching shovel with a sharp tip and a long head. Plan for more time if your soil is heavy or rocky. Consider renting a trencher if you’re digging a long or deep trench or if you have challenging soil or terrain. 

Excavations take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time it takes to excavate an area depends on the size of the area, the type of soil, the type of excavator, and even the time of year, since winter can make digging up the ground more difficult.

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.

We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.

Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.
