"Ernesto and his guys did a fantastic job at a fair price. The job was to root rake, fill and level approximately two acres of land on Pine Island. Ernesto is the most easy-going, honest and conscientious contractor I have expereinced in my many years here Florida. He was unconcerned about payment until the job was done to my satisfaction, and he completed everything I asked for or expected. As I understand it now, he went over and above what most land clearing professionals do. He brought his excavator back after the job would normally have been finished to clean up the perimeter of fallen trees and brush left behind by the forest mulching guy. He also levelled the area to my satisfaction. I was extremely pleased with the final result and would hire him again in a heartbeat."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

On average, you’re looking at about 12 hours to dig 100 linear feet. Your actual work time will come down to how many twists and turns there are when digging—such as rocky soil, tree roots, obstructions, and whether the ground is frozen.

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.

The depth of a septic tank’s drain lines is between 18 and 36 inches underground. These pipes are filled with perforations and surrounded by sand, gravel, or a combination of both, as both materials help filter wastewater. While some pipes are buried closer to the surface, this can create problems unless the soil is compact and doesn’t shift much. 

If you don’t have a crawl space but have a partial basement you want to make deeper, you can expect to spend a little less—between $40,000 and $90,000 on average. However, if you’re not adding new finished square footage, you won’t see much in the way of ROI.

The physical constraints of hand-drilling a well limit the depth you can achieve. Manually digging with picks and shovels may only lead to shallow wells of up to 60 feet in depth. To reach greater depths, you need more specialized equipment. The diameter of your well and the tools you’re using will determine how far down you can dig.
