"Gallagher Grading did an excellent job removing 60 tons of landslide debris in two days. All excavation to dig out retaining walls, stairway, a garage and scraping and cleaning mud off my driveway was done with utmost care and no damage was incurred. Edward and his men were professional, prompt, quiet, well-mannered, and responsible. High work ethic coupled with very competitive and transparent pricing makes this company not to miss. No hidden charges, no price inflation. Job was run smoothly and efficiently and all precautions were made, taking the size of the 10 ton load trucks, not to disturb my neighbors here in Bel Air. For all excavation and grading services, I would highly recommend Gallagher Grading."

I will come with a trailer and clean up trash piles from construction demo. I know professional companies charge an arm and a leg I am my own person I can charge less. I take all of the trash to the garbage dump.

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Professionals who complete perc tests can usually do them in a single day. Including excavating to expose the test site, filling the hole with water, and monitoring it while it drains, you can expect the test to take between four and eight hours total. It’s possible that you’ll get the results the same day, but some companies may take a few days to get official results.

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.

There is no standard depth, but typically, septic tanks are buried between 4 inches and 4 feet underneath the earth’s surface. There are a few factors that will determine your tank’s depth, including the height of your bedrock, the distance between your home and the tank, and the depth of your main sewer line.

You do not have to dig footers for a deck as long as it meets local code and holds up to weather in your area. If you live somewhere that experiences high winds and earthquakes, you may need to dig for your deck posts. Deck blocks, post anchors with base plates, and helical pile systems are the three no-dig deck post options you can choose from if local code permits.

You should dig 3 to 6 inches deep for plastic edging. Dig as wide as you need to fit your plastic edging into it—2 inches is usually sufficient.
