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

We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.

Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.

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

While general contractors sometimes handle demolition, you can also look specifically for local demolition contractors. Demolition experts need to understand structural integrity, the equipment needed for safe demolition, and the permits required for demolition.

The average cost for pool excavation is $2,500. This cost can range from $450 to $4,500, depending on the pool shape and size, time of year, and any need to move buried utilities. 

When excavating for your pool, you might have to move existing utilities. You can expect to pay an additional $15 to $25 per linear foot to move gas lines. To move a septic system, it’ll cost an additional $2,000 to $20,000. A pool that is 10 feet by 12 feet averages $450 to excavate, and a 20-foot-by-40-foot pool averages $3,020.

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.
