"This project with Rito of C & R Field Services could not have gone better, and I am 100% satisfied. Rito was very communicative from beginning to end, sharing with me his timing, costs, and process along the way. He worked long days, including in a snow storm, until the project was done. When I needed a tall gate panel that didn't exist in that form, he improvised by finding what I wanted and welding on the spot the necessary hinges to make it work, which it does perfectly. Impressive! The craftsmanship of the fence is impeccable, something that looks great and I am proud to have on my property. Rito also provided excavation work for me, as well as demo of a dog run and big tree house, taking everything to the dump for me after. He went the extra mile with everything he did, providing kindness and professionalism at every step. I fully plan to utilize Rito's expertise and services for any project I possibly can. He and his work are quality all the way around."

"They did an Awesome Job with replacing the fence and worked with me on my insurance adjustment. They also grounded some stumps that was included in the cost. The people they had install the fence were not illegals which was a big plus. Great guys I would defiantly recommend them to anyone and have."

"I have a 7% slope on my property and needed the ground leveled to build a large round pen. I also had a 40 ft connex box on the way and needed the ground built up and leveled for the Connex box to sit on. To build the round pen one side of the hill had to be lowered about 5 ft to build up the opposite side. In only 1-1/2 days, my round pen was ready for the steel panels to be delivered, and the area built up and flattened in time for my Connex box. I gave DC Land and Clearing a general description of what I needed, and didn't have to think about it after that. I didn't ask for gentle sloping sides on all sides of the round pen given the amount of dirt that had to be moved, but was very pleased to see them. My Connex box has been delivered and sits flat on the raised, smoothed ground. I am very pleased with the work performed by DC Land and Clearing LLC, and highly recommend them for any kind of dirt clearing and re-shaping you need done. Their experience shows in doing the extra landscaping they did to ensure the ground could be re-planted and easily maintained, and safe to walk on in all kinds of weather. DC Land and Clearing LLC gave me the quality I wanted without realizing that's what I wanted until the job was done. A professional job at the price I expected to pay. No surprises, no surcharges, no damage to the well head 10 ft away, and nothing missing when they were done."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Errors in site preparation can lead to structural failures or appear costly midway. Professionals ensure detailed, reliable home base development layouts.

A joint utility trench, or joint trench, is a long, buried ditch on a property that contains two or more utility lines rather than running the lines in multiple trenches. Some utilities, like gas and electric or electric and communication lines, are better suited to joint trenching, while others, like water and sewer, are not allowed to be in the same trench.

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.

You can bury underground electrical wire six inches deep—but only if you use a rigid metal electrical conduit. For rigid, non-metallic conduits, bury the wire at least 12 inches deep. If using an underground feeder cable rated for direct burial, you'll need to place it at least 18 inches deep, as it has no conduit for extra protection.

Digging a well can cost between $20 and $25,000, depending on your needs. If you’re looking to dig a well yourself, all you need is a shovel. If you’re looking to have a well drilled by a professional, you can expect to pay around $15 to $30 per foot. The total cost of drilling a well will average to $5,500.
