AUBURN CA, 2001, Alyssa and Ismael made their first business investment into their business at the local 84 Lumber. It was a stretch at the time but they anxiously spent $90 on rakes, shovels and tarps. They named the Business Agua Fria Landscape and have been putting their hearts and souls into it for over 20 years now. Today Agua Fria Landscape proudly offers a wide variety of Landscaping services from initial clearing of the property to installation and diligent maintenance of beautiful landscapes. Alyssa still answers the phone and Ismael still quotes and inspects every job for quality. See our website for more information.

"They did a really thorough job. They were on time and very responsible. They have been always capable to do the job. They were very good at what they do. They understand what I wanted. I'm always happy with the result. I used them on a regularly basis. They were terrific. They had a reasonable price."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even if the project only involves grading or yard leveling. Excavation permits help protect the topography in your area and can avoid issues with poor drainage. In most cases, your excavation company will know whether or not permits are required and will even pull them and close them out for you before and after the job. You can also verify whether permits are necessary by calling your local building department and explaining the proposed project.

Above ground pools are not buried in the ground. Typically, above ground pools are semi-permanent. One reason they’re more affordable is that you don’t have to dig for an inground pool and pour concrete or another material. However, you can choose to install a semi inground pool, which is a hybrid between the two.

Yes, you can install a trench drain if you already have concrete in your yard or garden. While it can complicate some aspects of the job and slightly run up the cost, it is doable. Residential trench drains can be easily retrofitted to outdoor areas with concrete without having to remove excessive amounts of your patio, pool area, or decorative walkways.

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.

There are several different factors that influence how long it takes to excavate. For a foundation, it could take anywhere from three days to three weeks. It can take even longer if you face weather-related delays or an inaccessible site that’s riddled with boulders and rough terrain. It may also take longer if you have clay soil, which is more difficult to dig.
