"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."

"I hired Barletta Excavation to do some outdoor drainage work around my pool deck. Alex the owner came out to my house and was very friendly and easy to work with. He was able to get the job done quickly and he communicated with me throughout the entire process to let me know what was going on. I would highly recommend Barletta Excavation!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

You can dig 60 to 80 linear feet by hand per day depending on the depth. Digging a 100-foot trench by hand will take you two work days, but it can take longer if you have heavy or rocky soil. If you’re digging a deep trench or one that’s over 100 feet, consider renting a mechanical trencher, such as a walk-behind or ride-on, or calling a pro for help. 

There are several different factors that influence how long it takes to excavate. For a foundation, it could take anywhere from three days to three weeks. It can take even longer if you face weather-related delays or an inaccessible site that’s riddled with boulders and rough terrain. It may also take longer if you have clay soil, which is more difficult to dig.

Excavation and grading are both generally necessary for designing your foundation, and leveling the ground where your foundation will go. These steps can also prepare the area by removing vegetation and anything else that could interfere with your home’s foundation.

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.

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.
