"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!"

"I hired B & S Excavation, in order to do a few jobs around my farm. Iâ  m trying to subdivide my place, and I needed to find someone who could bring a new water line into the property, and then separate the house and barn water. First job: Excavate a 1,540 ft trench, in order to bring a new water line in for my barn building. Then, connect the new line to the house, leaving the old line for the barn. Second job: Excavate another large ditch, in order to change some water line piping for the existing water well lines. Third job: Repairing a 12â  underground irrigation transmission line that had previously been damaged when the Elevate internet service was installed. Overall, I found Brandon and his team extremely easy to work with on my jobs. He took time to consult with me on every step of the way. If he was unclear on an issue, heâ  d drop everything in order to discuss things with me. Excavation work was done on a timely basis, although the weather interrupted the job at times. The team worked through some really bad weather days, which speaks to me of their dedication to their job. I was extremely impressed about Brandonâ  s ability to clean up the areas on my place that had been excavated. His skid steer work was excellent! You could hardly tell where he had worked, by the time he was done. Brandon did a fantastic job of communicating with me on the phone, especially when we were first discussing the job. He made sure to keep me in the loop, especially if he couldnâ  t make it out to my place for one reason or another. Good communication is key for me, and Brandonâ  s company always excelled in this area. The invoice totals I was charged for in this job were more than fair! Brandon and his team did many extras on the job, which werenâ  t always reflected on my bill. Since my funds were somewhat limited, I was really happy that he worked to give me a fair bill for the work heâ  d done. Overall, I cannot express how fully my expectations were met and exceeded by B & S Excavation! Wonderful people to work with! Professional, dedicated, and they really stand behind the work that they do. I will definitely hire them again, if I need excavation jobs done on my place in the future!"

"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."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

You can dig 60 to 80 linear feet by hand per day depending on the depth. Digging a 100-foot trench by hand will take you two work days, but it can take longer if you have heavy or rocky soil. If you’re digging a deep trench or one that’s over 100 feet, consider renting a mechanical trencher, such as a walk-behind or ride-on, or calling a pro for help. 

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. 

If you have a broken sprinkler pipe underground, there will be some signs you can easily spot to locate it and take action. These include leaks, water spouts, flooding, consistently damp areas on your lawn, low water pressure, and grass around the sprinkler head that’s taller and darker than anywhere else in the yard. 

If there are no obvious signs of a broken pipe, you can use tools such as water leak mics, leak noise loggers, audio devices that record leaks, and acoustic testing links. 

Broken pipes can lead to uneven watering, plant damage, and higher utility bills. The longer you wait to fix them the more the repair cost may be.

Digging out a basement takes anywhere from a few days to a few months. Most projects take at least two to five weeks, but it could take several months if you encounter obstacles. This project takes longer if you need to brace or raise your home before the excavation. Digging out a basement in new construction can take as little as three days.

To drill a shallow well, you may be able to use a drive well point. This is a tapered point that is driven into the ground. A drill bit at the end of PVC pipe may be another option to consider. A lot of the cost depends on what tools are available near you.
