"It is hard to find a team that is well managed. Kameron is a great manager of his team. He is a strong leader and his business has great communication. He is also very knowledgable and has great resources that help him be creative in his projects. He took on a very challenging home drainage issue I had that required putting perimeter drainage around two sides of my house. I had a leaking basement and a home that a very difficult rock in the depths of the earth. The project needed to be modified to meet the unique needs of ground conditions and Kameron and his team worked with the challenges and I appreciated the work they did very much."

"Very respectful and friendly. Needed to have a site cleared for construction and they were able to accommodate my needs as I lived on the property at the time of clearing and grading. I was more than satisfied with the results and time it took for them to complete the job."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The best type of soil to build on is a mixture of sand and clay, known as loam soil. Loam soil has the best combination of these soil types to build a foundation on. The clay particles help with water retention, so it won’t erode like sandy soil might, and the sandy particles help with drainage, so you won’t see unsafe soil expansion or have an increased risk of leaks from water sitting against your foundation.

The physical constraints of hand-drilling a well limit the depth you can achieve. Manually digging with picks and shovels may only lead to shallow wells of up to 60 feet in depth. To reach greater depths, you need more specialized equipment. The diameter of your well and the tools you’re using will determine how far down you can dig.

Septic tanks are typically buried between four inches and four feet deep, depending on the property, the soil, and the size of the tank. When the septic tank is buried on the deeper end of this range, it may be harder for you to locate it on your own with a soil probe or just by observing the yard for signs of the tank. However, if you have trouble finding the septic tank, a pro will be happy to help you.

Drilled wells have a pipe sticking up that’s covered in a plastic or metal casing. On the other hand, a dug well will look like a big hole in the ground and is more similar to what you’d see in a fantasy or Western movie. If you want to be sure, contact the city for documentation on your property’s construction and excavation history. 

A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock.
