Q: How close to the gas line can I dig?

• <div><p>Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/homeowner-liable-damage-gas-line-contractor.htm">liable for hitting a gas line</a> in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.</p></div>

Q: How deep should you bury underground electrical wire?

• <div><p>You can bury underground electrical wire six inches deep&mdash;but only if you use a rigid metal electrical conduit. For rigid, non-metallic conduits, bury the wire at least 12 inches deep. If using an underground feeder cable rated for direct burial, you'll need to place it at least 18 inches deep, as it has no conduit for extra protection.</p></div>

Q: How long does a perc test take?

• <div><p>A perc test takes an average of around two hours, but it can range from one hour up to around six hours. Perc tests that require wider or deeper holes and those that require multiple holes dug throughout your property will take longer because there&rsquo;s more excavation involved. The actual filling of the hole and monitoring to gauge the rate of percolation should take under an hour per hole.</p></div>

Q: Where do I take the boulder once it’s removed?

• <div><p>After you successfully remove your boulder, you have a few options for what to do to get rid of it. You can rent a dumpster if your yard has many boulders or if you&rsquo;re planning a larger project. You can even save the boulder and reuse it elsewhere on your property to save on <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-landscaping-cost.htm">landscaping costs</a>. A few ideas include using the boulder as a natural, abstract statue, breaking it into smaller pieces to line your garden bed, or offering it to a landscaping company that could reuse it for another project.</p></div>

Q: How do you calculate excavation cost?

• <div><p>Most professional excavation teams will charge between $8 and $15 per cubic yard. Calculate the cost by finding the volume of your pool&mdash;width x length x depth&mdash;and dividing it by 27. Then, multiply the price by the cubic yards from your equation. Budget for complications like a rocky lawn, hard-to-access pool area, or high local labor prices.</p></div>
