"My wife and I have hired RainforestLA for four separate landscaping and design projects (turf, fence, concrete, stepping stones, etc.) and are always amazed with the final product. They do amazing quality work that lasts year after year. We could not recommend them more and look forward to hiring them again."

"Ken is very knowledgeable and professional. My backyard was not draining well in the last rain after a garage extension. He graded the soil and built a paving stone walkway. When I couldn't find anyone to put sods on the soil, he took on the job and did a great job. I am very happy with the work."

"SES is the best company you can think of when it comes to remodeling your house. I finished my project 6 months ago and the communication was great. Maiia from the office kept on following up with every question we had. We had the SES app that we communicated easier and saw pictures of our project throughout the process. We live half of the year in Russia and due to COVID we couldn't come back so it took a while until we were able to see how it came out. Job was done properly, they cleaned the house when they finished and it was a pleasure to do business with them."

"We had been dreaming of remodeling our backyard for years, and after researching multiple companies, we decided to go with Regal Construction & Remodeling. Best decision ever! Ben and his team were absolutely amazing from start to finish. We wanted a complete overhaul—new pavers, a pergola, custom seating, and landscaping. Ben worked closely with us to create a design that matched our vision while staying within our budget. His knowledge and creative ideas were invaluable. The entire crew was polite, professional, and respectful of our property, making sure to clean up each day. What impressed us the most was how seamless everything felt. The project was completed in a timely manner, and Ben kept everything on schedule with clear communication throughout. We never felt like we were left in the dark, which is so important when taking on a big renovation like this. Now, we finally have a backyard we’re proud to entertain in. The quality of work is top-notch, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Regal Construction & Remodeling to anyone looking for a high-quality backyard transformation!"

Excavating FAQs, 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.

Yes, professional installations include trenching or borehole drilling required for ground loops.

If you’re planning to dig on your property, you’ll need to check for underground utility lines. Call the national call-before-you-dig 811 number. Once connected to an operator, you can schedule a site visit to mark underground lines. This way, you won’t accidentally dig into pipes and can cause major (read: costly) issues.

Completion time ranges from days to weeks, contingent on project size, environmental conditions, and regulatory approvals.

Generally, a trenchless sewer line is worth the cost. If your old system needs replacement, trenchless sewer repair or replacement can save you thousands on excavation costs. Every homeowner’s situation is different, but this method is definitely worth it in a lot of cases.
