"Had a great experience with these guys. They came out and excavated a bunch of dirt for me and graded it to get it ready for a new driveway. They also trenched for 3 inch drain lines that I had them install for all the erosion I was getting from the rain. The quality of work was top-notch. Everything was done right. They clearly take pride in what they do and were reliable. I highly recommend them. I’ll definitely be using them again."

"I have hired this company many times for work on my house and they always deliver exceptional quality at an affordable price. They built a beautiful wall and flagstone patio for my backyard. They also built a beautiful concrete pathway up to my front door and did the landscaping watering system and the entire outdoor lighting system. I most recently had Ricardo out to do all the bark for my house which looks amazing!"

"My husband and I hired Lucio to do a putting green job in our back yard and he did an amazing job. He was quick to respond and quickly set up an appointment to come look at our back yard. Lucio and his crew began working on it shortly after and finished in a timely manner. The job went above and beyond our expectations. We highly recommend Lucio and his crew to get the job done in a quick and professional manner."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Septic drain lines (or leach lines) are typically buried between 18 and 36 inches underground, and should be at least 6 inches below the surface. These pipes are perforated and surrounded by filtering materials like sand or gravel. Burying the lines at this depth helps minimize odors and allows bacteria and other biological processes in the soil to effectively treat the wastewater. Burying lines too close to the surface can cause issues unless the soil is very compact and stable.

It’s possible to transplant trees as tall as 50 feet when an experienced tree planting service uses the right equipment. However, a tree with a trunk larger than two or three inches in diameter needs to be handled by a professional in order to yield successful transplanting results. Consulting a tree planting professional is the best way to tell if your large tree can be safely transplanted.

Sewer lines can be buried anywhere from 18 inches to 8 feet deep, with a common average depth between 18 and 30 inches. The exact depth depends on local factors like climate and soil type. In colder regions, pipes must be buried deeper (below the frost line) to prevent freezing, sometimes as deep as 8 feet. The digging depth can also impact the cost of sewer line replacement. To find the specific depth for your property, you can check the building plans for your system, which should be on file with your city or local sanitation department since permits are required for installation.

You do not have to dig footers for a deck as long as it meets local code and holds up to weather in your area. If you live somewhere that experiences high winds and earthquakes, you may need to dig for your deck posts. Deck blocks, post anchors with base plates, and helical pile systems are the three no-dig deck post options you can choose from if local code permits.

Concrete blocks are the cheapest way to base a shed. However, the space in between allows critters to go under, burrow, and even damage your shed’s frame. For a more pest-proof option, consider building a shed base with gravel or paver stones. Both options are fairly affordable and easy enough for a DIY project. For gravel, you can build a wooden frame to contain the loose material.
