"The Western Slope Cleaning Service responded immediately, way before any other business replied to my request for tree removal and carport repair. Lorenzo and George arrived to my property the same day, provided a reasonable estimate before departing. Sent me a written estimate in under 30 minutes, which I approved. Lorenzo and his crew began the next day, despite having to battle chilly and rainy weather. They stuck it out and finished removing two large trees, pressure washed two metal carports, sealed one carport and removed two gate posts for me. The crew did an excellent job cleaning up the site. They were all very polite, cordial and very professional. I will continue to utilize WSCS for a large list of projects needed on my property. Thank you Lorenzo, great job!"

"Would recommend Grover excavating for any of your excavating needs. Pete was very prompt and professional. Took out a large tree from my back yard. Removing the stump was a challenge that he met very well. There was minimal disruption to the rest of my yard. I will hire him for any future needs."

"I'm very pleased with my gate repair. It looks good and works great. I'm also pleased he gave me a veterans discount as my veteran husband passed away in Feb. this year. The only area for improvement is communication, to let me know when he is coming and being on time. I think he learned and will be better in the future."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.

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.

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.

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.

While you can save some money by digging your own pool, you may end up paying more in construction equipment rental fees in the long run. You could, however, focus your DIY energies on lowering the cost of leveling your lawn for your pool or filling in surrounding landscaping after construction.
