"I reached out to Terrain Solutions Group inquiring about clearing my land to prepare it for building and I can honestly say they were incredible. From the initial phone call to the completion of the job, every aspect was professional and made so easy. I spoke with Peter and he was able to answer all of our questions and help us out with things we did not know as well. I would HIGHLY recommend this company"

"I used Shawn at SouthState for underbrush clearing, tree removal, mulching, and general land cleanup on my 5-acre property in Oakes Estates. He transformed what looked like a dense forest into something that resembles a national park. I've hired other companies for similar projects in the past, but Shawn's work truly stood out. First, when he says he'll be there, he shows up—a quality that's harder to find than it should be. Second, SouthState uses top-of-the-line equipment, which makes a noticeable difference in both the quality and efficiency of the work. What impressed me most, however, was Shawn's knowledge and willingness to walk me through the pros and cons of the different service options. He helped me understand that the cheapest option isn't always the best value. Spending a little more to have the job done correctly the first time can save a lot of money and frustration compared to hiring someone later to fix another contractor's mistakes. Highly recommended"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

The rules and regulations regarding groundwater use vary between states. To find out if you can dig a well on your property, you’ll have to consult these regulations, address any compliance requirements, and get the appropriate permits. It’s also important to check that your intended location has the right geology and water table to support a well.

Most residential basements are 8 to 10 feet deep. You can dig deeper depending on building codes, but it does become more difficult. You’ll likely need to install stronger foundation walls and additional supports to handle the increased load. Depending on the water table, you may also need a water management system. Clay soil can support a deeper foundation than sandy soil. A structural engineer will be able to tell you the maximum, feasible depth.

Trenching is a specific kind of digging. Trenching means digging a depression in the earth that’s deeper than it is wide, often with heavy machinery. Digging refers to any kind of removal of earth in order to create a human-made depression, hole, or cut in the earth’s surface. You can dig with big tools or even with just a hand shovel.

In the United States, a depth of 36 inches (three feet) for underground water lines is the accepted industry standard. This depth varies from location to location based on local conditions. In areas with colder winters, they may be buried deeper to prevent frozen well water pipes : This is usually at least six inches below the frost level. The International Plumbing Code calls for a minimum of 12 inches below grade.
