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

The rules and regulations regarding groundwater use vary between states. To find out if you can dig a well on your property, you’ll have to consult these regulations, address any compliance requirements, and get the appropriate permits. It’s also important to check that your intended location has the right geology and water table to support a well.

Yes, you can technically make a crawl space liveable, but the only way to do so is by converting it into a basement. While some crawl spaces are big enough to walk through and store large items, they lack appropriate insulation and space to be liveable.

On average, you’re looking at about 12 hours to dig 100 linear feet. Your actual work time will come down to how many twists and turns there are when digging—such as rocky soil, tree roots, obstructions, and whether the ground is frozen.

The answer may vary based on where you live. Residential sewer lines are generally buried 5 feet to 6 feet under the ground. However, it's not uncommon to see pipes buried as deep as 8 feet in colder climates in order to ensure that piping is placed below the freeze line. Digging depth could impact your sewer line replacement cost.

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.
