"We had an excellent experience with Elevated Environments from start to finish. Nick listened to what we needed and kept revising as we went until we came up with the perfect plan. Communication was excellent throughout. The crew was unobtrusive and efficient. Our drainage problem is fixed and we ended up with a beautiful fire pit area. We cannot recommend this company more highly."

Customers say: Quick response

"Rebel Earthworks are consummate professionals. Walked us all the way through the process and took care of all the heavy-lifting, both figuratively and literally. They not only cleared away and graded/leveled our existing residential yard, but also totally designed and implemented an entirely new backyard for us. We are astounded at the transformation. Well, done gentlemen! And thank you for getting it done is such a quick, compressed timeline. I know it was a challenge, but you all exceeded our expectations! I highly recommend them!"

"David, excavated old septic tank, replaced with new tank, hooked up tank to house, filled in and covered the new tank. Leveled the land, raked the area affected and applied grass seed. Clean up was great! Was always available to answer questions. We would hire him again."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The rules for trenching and excavation include setting up and following safety protocols, learning how to use tools and machines properly, and ensuring there is a safe exit for all workers. Keep heavy equipment and materials away from the edge of the hole or trench. Call the 811 dig line before starting any excavation or trenching project to ensure you don’t hit any electrical or gas lines.

How deep your septic system needs to be into the ground depends on several factors. In extremely cold environments, the tank needs to rest below the maximum frost line, which can be up to six or eight feet deep. The standard burying depth for most systems is between a few inches and four feet below ground level. Depth can also depend on the slope of the landscaping and other property variables. 

Yes, trenchers can go through gravel. Gravel is made up of smaller, softer rocks that certain trenchers are able to cut through. Just be sure to use a rock wheel trencher or chain trencher, both of which are made to cut through rocky landscapes and gravel pathways without dulling the teeth or chain.

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

Landscape edging is more DIYable than trenching. You can DIY your own digging projects, but proceed carefully and only with proper knowledge of the equipment and appropriate safety measures in place. Keep in mind the project's scope and estimate how long it will take you to do it on your own. While you can certainly save money by DIYing home improvement projects, you can’t exactly hide an unfinished—or worse, ruined— landscaping job from the neighbors. It’s always safer to call an excavation pro near you to get an estimate.
