"Duane and his helpers were very prompt and showed alot of understanding how urgent time was in this situation. We had a home closing in just a few days and he coordinated with a pre cast septic manufacturer and the county inspection official to make sure we met the deadline!! Would 100% recommend him and his company to anyone I know."

"Three Peak Enterprises, did a phenomenal job on our land. From the beginning Alex was very communicative, very professional and above all very fair on his Quote. Once we agreed and decided to proceed him and his team came out and began work promptly and were able to deliver an end result in a timely and effective manner. They have brand new and very clean equipment which speaks to their professionalism. Overall great to work with and would absolutely recommend!"

"I needed someone to come out and clear all of our dry dead weeds, and no company wanted to come out because of the distance from town, but TJ and his crew did for a very reasonable rate and they got it done fast with no issues! they listened to exactly what we needed and were flexible and professional with the last minute changes. I will definitely be calling them again for any future projects!"

"Mario completed the job within a week of calling him, promptly and with no fuss. He was communicative during the entire process and easy to work with. When I requested a modification for framing after the drywall was already hung he was accommodating. The finished room looks wonderful and I would recommend them for their timeliness, professionalism, and attention to the client."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

A perc test can take anywhere from one to eight hours to complete. The total time depends on factors like the amount of excavation required, the depth and width of the holes, and whether multiple test holes are needed. For a single hole, the process of filling it with water and monitoring the drainage rate usually takes less than an hour. Professionals can often complete the entire test in a single day. While it's possible to get results the same day, some companies may take a few days to provide the official report.

A mini excavator can dig between 5 and 11 feet deep, depending on the type and size of the mini excavator. Mini hydraulic excavators are more powerful and can reach deeper into the earth, but electric models have a more limited range. Mini excavators over two tons in size are also more powerful and able to dig as deep as 11 feet.

Most professional excavation teams will charge between $8 and $15 per cubic yard. Calculate the cost by finding the volume of your pool—width x length x depth—and dividing it by 27. Then, multiply the price by the cubic yards from your equation. Budget for complications like a rocky lawn, hard-to-access pool area, or high local labor prices.

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.

Prior to excavation, you should prepare the dig site and call 311 before you sign anything.

To get your site ready for excavation, you should move anything in the area that isn’t affixed to the land. You can save money on the excavation by removing hardscaping, including walkways, decks, concrete patios, and paver patios.

Before you carry out any digging, you should call 311 to confirm that there are no utility lines running through your excavation site. Skipping this step could lead to severe injury and property damage if your excavator hits a water, sewage, or gas line.
