"Adam and his crew were amazing. They cleaned out the junk filled basement of the old house we just moved into. Prompt, friendly, professional setvice and a great value for the money. We also hired them again, to remove brush and overgrown shrubbery from the property a week later. Highly reccomend."

"Andi is the only mason who will ever work on my house. My house is the gray cape in several photos of his websites . He tackled a very steep incline and built magnificent tiered walls, blue stone steps and walkways, and the patio around my pool. He has also built retaining walls, several walk ways and patios for my home. He recently put up stone veneer on my chimney. Andi is a friend, and truly a man of his word. Andi has vision and he always makes time to talk with you about not just what you want, but what you may need, without ever going over the desired budget. If you want quality work, done on time and on budget he is your guy. His crew is as respectful as he is and I cannot express how happy I found him."

"I had Zach out last week to level some land next to a shed. He also took down the existing shed and took it all away. I will be getting a new shed, built me a stone platform to put it on. He is meticulous. Did a fantastic job and cleaned up everything after. Even put hay down with some grass seed and areas."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Yes, trenchers can go through gravel. Gravel is made up of smaller, softer rocks that certain trenchers are able to cut through. Just be sure to use a rock wheel trencher or chain trencher, both of which are made to cut through rocky landscapes and gravel pathways without dulling the teeth or chain.

Consultation with the local government helps identify necessary permits, avoid project delays or legal issues, and protect project integrity.

The time it takes to build a pool—and dig out the area—varies based on the pool size and type. A professional excavator will take between four and eight hours to dig a pool. The process will take longer if they encounter large boulders or tree roots. Keep in mind that this is a small part of the process in the long run. You will need between eight and 12 weeks to build a pool from start to finish, including the time to apply for permits.

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.

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.
