"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!"

"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

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

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.

Yes. A metal detector is one of the quickest and easiest ways to find your septic tank. However, metal detectors can be too expensive (costing upward of $300 in some cases), and not everyone has a metal detector just lying around. If that’s the case for you, you can also take a long metal rod and poke it into the ground at regular intervals until you hit something—likely your septic tank lid.

We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.

Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.

A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock.
