Q: How long does it take to trench 100 linear feet?

• <div><p>On average, you&rsquo;re looking at about <b>12 hours to dig 100 linear feet</b>. Your actual work time will come down to how many twists and turns there are when digging&mdash;such as rocky soil, tree roots, obstructions, and whether the ground is frozen.</p></div>

Q: How do you cut through roots when digging?

• <div><p>There are many ways to cut through roots when digging, especially if your trencher doesn&rsquo;t seem to be removing the roots. First, use a shovel to expose the roots. Then, use gardening shears to clear out smaller roots or a reciprocating saw to remove larger plant roots. If you plan on keeping the plant, avoid cutting any roots over 2 inches thick.</p></div>

Q: Can I DIY trenching or edging?

• <div><p>Landscape edging is more DIYable than trenching. You can DIY your own digging projects, but proceed carefully and only with proper knowledge of the equipment and appropriate safety measures in place. Keep in mind the project's scope and estimate how long it will take you to do it on your own. While you can certainly save money by DIYing home improvement projects, you can&rsquo;t exactly hide an unfinished&mdash;or worse, ruined&mdash; landscaping job from the neighbors. It&rsquo;s always safer to call an excavation pro near you to get an estimate.</p></div>

Q: How deep should a septic tank be buried?

• <div><p>How deep your septic system needs to be into the ground depends on several factors. In extremely cold environments, the tank needs to rest below the maximum frost line, which can be up to six or eight feet deep. The standard burying depth for most systems is between a few inches and four feet below ground level. Depth can also depend on the slope of the landscaping and other property variables. </p></div>

Q: Should I excavate in the summer?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Dennis arrived right on schedule to perform a multi-tank pump out on our ATU. Dennis worked very hard and ensured that each tank was pumped clear and that any and all sludge was removed as this is an Automatic Treatment Unit and not a typical septic system.

He was very nice guy. He did the first quote and was willing to think out of the box with whatever I could come up with. He tried to bring down the price as much as he could but he still couldn't get it down enough for me to do it. He tried and he did a good job. He thought over it for a...
