"I can’t say enough great things about Shepherd Contracting! From start to finish, they made my kitchen remodel an absolute breeze. I had braced myself for months of chaos, dust, and disruption, but they completely shattered those expectations. Their team understands that you’re living in your home during the renovation and goes out of their way to make it as comfortable as possible. The attention to detail, clear communication, and professionalism were second to none. They kept everything on schedule and clean throughout the process. Not only did they deliver a stunning kitchen that exceeded my expectations, but they also made what is usually a stressful experience smooth and hassle-free. If you’re looking for a contractor who genuinely cares about their clients and goes above and beyond to deliver both quality craftsmanship and exceptional service, look no further than Shepherd Contracting. I would recommend."

"They wrote up a complete Scope of Work detailing the work to be done including all costs. They showed up on time and did a very nice job of trimming two trees. They were very professional and charged $850 less than other businesses who bid on the job. I will definitely use them again in the future."

"Scottgave me a fair price for mowing at my retirement property in Prescott. So I hired him. He was quick and did it right away. A local resident advised the work was good. So I'm happy and expect to hire Nostab again when cutting is next needed."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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’t exactly hide an unfinished—or worse, ruined— landscaping job from the neighbors. It’s always safer to call an excavation pro near you to get an estimate.

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.

Consultation with the local government helps identify necessary permits, avoid project delays or legal issues, and protect project integrity.

Depth is not a qualifying component of evacuation. Any human-made cut, cavity, or depression in the earth’s surface is considered excavation. The hole from excavation can be any size, shape, or depth. Excavation is used to create foundations, reservoirs, drainage ditches, and roads. Long, narrow excavations are called trenches and are often used for underground utilities.

Septic drain lines (or leach lines) are typically buried between 18 and 36 inches underground, and should be at least 6 inches below the surface. These pipes are perforated and surrounded by filtering materials like sand or gravel. Burying the lines at this depth helps minimize odors and allows bacteria and other biological processes in the soil to effectively treat the wastewater. Burying lines too close to the surface can cause issues unless the soil is very compact and stable.
