"We've resided in PV for over 25 years. The initial landscaping included a drip system. The system required various fixes and adjustments. Luis and his team provide input that made sense at a reasonable price. Unlike prior contractors, the team was larger and more knowledgeable. We are planning on using this professional company for other projects in the near future."

"Very Well. We can’t say enough about H-Bros excavating! When we approached Marcus to come bid on our job. We were impressed. He seemed to know what he was talking about and told us we would need a D6 or D8 cat to rip all the rocks from the area we wanted flattened. He said he could probably get it done with a D6 and quoted it for that. He ended up bringing a D8 which worked out great since it could rip the rocks a lot faster. To our delight we got done 2 days early. Marcus and team started the job on schedule, were on time each day and worked hard and long hours. They were very professional and very personable. They wanted to make sure that they did the job exactly how we wanted it done. Customer satisfaction was very important to them. They went above and beyond our expectations and we are extremely happy with their services and would recommend them to anyone! They were a pleasure to work with and very honest. Do not hesitate to call them for your excavating needs! They may be a newer company but they are worth it!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even for projects that only involve grading or yard leveling. Permit requirements depend on your local government and the scope of the project, but they are especially common for significant digging or work that could affect utilities or public property. These permits help protect the local topography and prevent drainage issues. An experienced excavation company will typically know whether permits are needed and can often handle the process of pulling and closing them for you. You can also verify permit requirements by contacting your local building department and describing your project.

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.

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. 

Most residential basements are 8 to 10 feet deep. You can dig deeper depending on building codes, but it does become more difficult. You’ll likely need to install stronger foundation walls and additional supports to handle the increased load. Depending on the water table, you may also need a water management system. Clay soil can support a deeper foundation than sandy soil. A structural engineer will be able to tell you the maximum, feasible depth.

Trenching is a specific kind of digging. Trenching means digging a depression in the earth that’s deeper than it is wide, often with heavy machinery. Digging refers to any kind of removal of earth in order to create a human-made depression, hole, or cut in the earth’s surface. You can dig with big tools or even with just a hand shovel.
