"Jason was very easy to work with and provided suggestions for seeding and subsequent treatment due to the terrain and soil. There were a number of unanticipated stumps in the area which caused a lot of roots to be eliminated after the fact. I still have not got to the point where I should mow the new growth which has been a slow process. Jason did a nice job on the excavation part and he did all the work maintaining previous drainage contours put in years ago.He was flexible, knew his business, and easy to work with and adjust aspects of the job."

"My initial feeling was that they were a bit expensive, but after all is said and done they are worth every cent spent. They are fully geared and trained to move sheds. They were careful, efficient, and fast. The shed is over 25 years old and no one else could even figure out how to move it. Easland moved it in about an hour and positioned it exactly on itâ s new base. All in all a very pleasant experience."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Hard soil could be a sign of overly dry dirt, either from poor drainage or drought. It's important to test the nutrient levels, density, and drainage capacity of your soil to see if it's absorbing water properly. Begin by adding a light layer of water and observing how long the soil retains moisture. If you experience a good deal of runoff, you may need to aerate your lawn, apply a wetting agent, or hire a professional for a closer look.

No, fire blight does not survive free in the soil but instead is carried through insects, animals, rain, or wind during the spring. Keep in mind that it can also spread on tools, which is why you should always disinfect them in between cuts.

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.

Landscape edging is more DIYable than trenching. You can DIY your own digging projects, but proceed carefully and only with proper knowledge of the equipment and appropriate safety measures in place. Keep in mind the project's scope and estimate how long it will take you to do it on your own. While you can certainly save money by DIYing home improvement projects, you can’t exactly hide an unfinished—or worse, ruined— landscaping job from the neighbors. It’s always safer to call an excavation pro near you to get an estimate.

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.
