"AP Excavating installed a drinking post for our horses and replaced a water hydrant. Wonderful father and sons family business - great to work with them and their crew. I was impressed with the quality of work and their commitment to making sure they exceeded our expectations. I will be using them for our next projects: entry gate, trenching work and landscaping driveway island. Thank you AP Excavating!"

"My wife and I decided it was time to xeriscape our front yard and we wanted to do it ourselves. The first thing we needed to do is have our beautiful lawn of 45 years removed. It was hard to say goodbye to an old friend but it was time. So, enter Miguel and crew with Summit Landscaping to do this back breaking job. They removed 1,201 sq ft of grass, cleaned up the area, and were finished and on their way in 4 hours. Now we can start transforming our front yard into a beautifully low to no water landscaped area. Thank you Miquel and crew. You all did a fantastic job!"

Customers say: True professional

"We hired Bill primarily because he offered a plan for repairing our sinking flagstone patio steps. We had had several other contractors out to inspect and advise. Nobody was interested in taking on this project. There was lots of conflicting advice...tear it out and start over, hire mud jackets, hire push pier operators, etc. Only Bill said he could repair the steps and return them to close to their original form. And he did it in a very clever way. He carefully removed the middle steps and drilled holes into the concrete slab until he was able to split it in half. He then used large pry bars to raise the upper portion. He filled in the gap with stones and concrete and then reinstalled the original flagstones. The end result looks very much as it did fifteen years ago when originally built. Bill advised us that in addition to the sinking patio steps, there were several other problem areas needing attention, mostly having to do with preventing water damage. But the biggest additional problem he discovered was that the brick siding on our house had been installed with no anchors to the walls!!! In some places, the brick was separating from the wall and there were gaps at the top where water could get in. Bill reinforced the brick walls with many large screws. Amazingly, you cannot even see them unless you really look close. I am so glad we discovered Vintage Stoneworks. The disasters Bill has likely saved us from are horrifying to contemplate. Thank you, Bill, for all you did to improve and protect our home."

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.

Excavations take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time it takes to excavate an area depends on the size of the area, the type of soil, the type of excavator, and even the time of year, since winter can make digging up the ground more difficult.

Underground downspouts refer to the sections of downspout extensions that lead away from your home and gutter system. While they cost more than traditional extensions, they can provide several benefits, such as less frequent damage and no need to move them for lawn care tasks. Whether they're worth it or not depends on your budget at installation time and how much convenience they'll add to your situation.

There is no standard depth for burying a septic tank; they are typically buried anywhere from 4 inches to 4 feet underground. The final depth depends on several factors, including the depth of your main sewer line, the height of the bedrock, soil type, local regulations, and the property's landscape. If you plan to grow grass or plants over the tank, a depth of at least 4 to 6 inches is recommended. Deeper tanks can be more difficult to locate, but a septic professional can help find it for you.

Chipmunks dig their burrows about three feet deep and up to 30 feet long. The entrances can be two inches wide or more. Chipmunks are fiercely protective of their burrows and use them to protect the nuts and seeds they gather for the long winters.
